Chocolate-Peanut Butter-Banana Sugar Free Cupcakes

I tried a variation on my original sugar-free banana peanut butter muffins – adding cocoa! This addition and a one other, makes these dense, rich treats more cupcake-like than before. I highly recommend you try this and some other swaps – you could switch the peanut butter for any nut butter. You could switch the bananaContinue reading “Chocolate-Peanut Butter-Banana Sugar Free Cupcakes”

Fabric Breakfast Food

I decided it was time for Greta to have some of her own fabric food to play with. She loves to stir, drink imaginary liquids from play cups, and cook invisible foods. I could watch her pretend for days on end – it is fascinating to me and I wonder where she gets her ideasContinue reading “Fabric Breakfast Food”

North Carolina Transportation Museum + Spicy Roasted Vegetables

The past week has kept our family moving, moving, moving. We were out of the house for a while on Saturday due to an open house. We decided to head over to the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park for a walk on Saturday. The weather was unbelievable – sunny and 73 degrees! Greta enjoyed ridingContinue reading “North Carolina Transportation Museum + Spicy Roasted Vegetables”

DIY Glitter Wand

I had a glitter wand when I was a kid and I remembering playing with it all the time. It was tubular and filled with pink, purple and glow-in-the-dark glitter. I fondly remember holding it up to my eyes to make the room appear pink. I used to flip it end over end to watchContinue reading “DIY Glitter Wand”

Sweet Potato Wedges

Ok, I know that I once said it was too easy not to buy the frozen sweet potato fries. Well, I was wrong. I have found that I am too cheap to keep buying those frozen delights, but since they do make any meal fantastic, and toddlers love anything that resembles a fry, I foundContinue reading “Sweet Potato Wedges”

Tree Mixed Media Artwork

I forgot all about this collage & watercolor piece I had completed a while back – in November. Whoops! I made it on a friend’s birthday and subsequently ended up giving it to her . I have been really enjoying using the old books in my collage work lately. I have another one of theseContinue reading “Tree Mixed Media Artwork”

After a very long and tiring work week, I stopped by Goodwill before picking up Greta on Friday. I went in with the express purpose of finding her a few items in 2T. I know, where has my baby gone? I only wanted a few things to tide us over so that when she finallyContinue reading “Thrifty Mama: Finds of the Week”
