A Closer Look at Ottoman

Some things are so good, you just have to share.

There are a few things that I saw the last few days that are so good I have to share.

First, I found this great recipe for kids (and, heck, adults) via Craft's blog; it's from the Chocolate On My Cranium blog, Petite Watermelons:

Next I have two videos. The first one (I know this is all over the craft blogdom right now, but it's for a reason), is the incredible duo of Something's Hiding in Here...Etsy did a home tour with them. The second is the genius that is Leslie Hall! I found this via Modish.

Some Fun for Food

Boo is a bit of a picky eater, so his Auntie Lindsey got him this Tic Tac Toast:

Boo does like toast (he prefers whole wheat bread with almond butter and honey), but maybe I can get him to experiment with toppings this way. I also don't think he'd really be interested in the game tic tac toe yet, but he might have fun chomping blocks of toppings.

I love the packaging! Here's the back:

Ugh...it mentions that white toast works best...I suppose I'll use sourdough since it's a bit healthier (lower glycemic index). Oh yeah, and almond butter has twice as much fiber as peanut butter, but is much more expensive; I found a great deal on it at COSTCO...I'd better go get more (hopefully they still have it)!

I guess now that I've got the cute packaging stored here, I can take it out of said packaging!

Happy Tuesday!

Boo and Cake Wrecks

This post is about things that make me laugh. With all this chaos of remodeling (our sofa, loveseat and a bunch of boxes are tarped up outside because we need work space...which stresses me out with this rain...even though they are tarped well. However, things are indeed looking better all the time and I am so thankful that I am able to do this!) So, I thought I would share a couple of things that have made me giggle, because I need that right now. First, is this picture I took of Boo (I'll use that name for my son...it's awkward to write "my son" all the time, but I don't want to use his name, so Boo is one of my many nicknames I use for him):

I took this picture while we were still in the apartment and he was hiding under a basket that usually holds miscillaneous toys.

Next is Cake Wrecks; I found this blog recently from a post on the Etsy forums and had to check it out.

It's nice to have something to giggle and snort at/with! The Cake Wrecks subtitle is "When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong." I've always wondered why the cakes at the bakery counter often look like barfed up shortening and food coloring! I mean, aren't these guys supposed to be professionals? I don't like to poke fun, but these aren't amateur cakes, these are ones made to be sold...whoa! Make sure to check this blog out!

Happy Monday!
