Who looking for new lunch ideas for the kiddos?!?! While here in Western New York kids are doing hybrid school, my daughter still has a virtual day on Friday which means lunch at home. Since my lil’princess has been super bummed that she can’t go to school and see her friends on Friday's, I at least try to make lunch time fun. ​

To make last Friday a berry good time! Get it?!?! Berry lol.... we made teddy bear rice cakes! Super yum! Lots of nutrition and yet totally fun to make!!!

Enjoy!!

Take a rice cake and spread peanut butter on top. Take 1 slice of banana & place at the bottom of the rice cake for a mouth.

Take two blueberries and place them on the toast as eyes. Take another blueberry and place it on the banana mouth.

Serve & Enjoy! 

Omg!!! Less than a week and kiddos in Western New York head back to school!!! It might be a hybrid version, but heck! We will take it. Any type of normalcy is welcomed with open arms in my book. WooHoo for somewhat of a routine again!!!!!

Since school lunches only happen when at school unless we make arrangements with the school, it looks like we will be on our own for those school lunches. One of my daughter and hubby’s favorites?!? Uncrustables! Ridiculously expensive at the store, but if you order yourself a hand dandy cutter from amazon, cheapest lunch ever!!!!

Next, stack the bread together to make a sandwich. Then take the sandwich press and place it on the sandwich. Press and turn.

Omg y’all!!! My girl behind all of our homeschool goodies! Yup! The same mastermind behind our Homeschool Planner knocked it out of the ballpark again!!!!! This time around she created a unicorn packet for all of our preschool- 1st grade kiddos working on their handwriting & ABC’s using UNICORNS!!!! What little girl wouldn’t want to dabble in some school work about magical unicorns!!! Such a fabulous way to keep those kiddos nice and entertained while learning at the same time!

Happy Schooling!!!

It’s been rainy the past few days, so I’ve traded in my grill and smoker for a little air fryer fun!!! My daughter has just discovered bagel bites, so I thought it would be a fun raining afternoon activity to make homemade air fryer bagel bites with her!! A great way to keep her entertained while playing with one of my favorite kitchen accessories!

We purchased a bag of mini bagels from Aldi. Mini pepperoni from Wegmans along with some sauce and cheese and we bagel pizza’d the afternoon away! So yum!!!

​Enjoy!

• Mini Bagels
• ​Pizza Sauce
• Mini Pepperoni
​ ​• Mozzarella Cheese

Slice bagels in half. Coat with pizza sauce.

Ahhhh the dreaded back to school topic!!!! It’s literally the biggest thing on any parents mind right now. Whatever decision we make when it comes to the school thing, half of our friends will think we are being totally reckless when the other half will point those fingers saying we are filling our kids heads with propaganda.

If you’re a parent like myself, you are the worst teacher EVER despite being a total control freak who usually runs the tightest ship ever ever. Homeschool is legit our biggest nightmare. One of the only things we admit we totally fail at.

If this pandemic taught me anything, it’s that teachers are the most amazing people on this planet and definitely do not get enough credit. No amount of degrees and training could turn someone like me into an individual who has the super powers to teach my own child. That takes some serious dedication and talent to learn those skills!

Since our school district and many others around the county only have two options, hybrid and virtual, I figured it was time to end my temper tantrum and partner with someone that actually knows homeschooling to share some knowledge.

Our fabulous contributor is nameless at this moment, but hopefully if this takes off, she will want to take the credit for herself since I have absolutely nothing to do with these very helpful printables besides writing and pressing the publish button lol....

Feel free to print this handy dandy My Homeschool Planner for totally free!!! Each page picture has a link underneath to download!

​Hope your kiddos get use of this planner!

Pour white frosting into a baggie/piping bag. Snip corner if using a baggie. Use the frosting to create a tic tac toe board.

Tis the season of all things spooky!!! Even those cheese quesadillas your kiddos crave!!!! My daughter has been on a huge quesadilla kick lately!!! She discovered how delicious they were a few Moe’s trips ago and now she’s hooked! WooHoo for having another Mexican food lover in the house!!!

Since Mexican food is also my favorite and I just love being totally festive, I decided all cheese quesadillas consumed in the Storms household need to be jack-o-lanterns until further notice. Enjoy :):)

The best part of this time of year has to be all of the crafty projects and baking!!!! My daughter is actually really into Halloween this year! It’s crazy how excited she is for the spookiest bday if the year and it’s still a month away!!!!

Since Halloween is her latest obsession, we decided to make Halloween Donuts this fine Sunday afternoon. So easy to make and so yummy!

​Enjoy!

• Donuts
• Frosting
• Wilton Candy Eyes
• Vanpire Fangs (Dollar Tree)

Take your donuts and stick the vampire fangs into the center. Then use your frosting as glue and stick on those candy eyes!

Serve & Enjoy!

Happy first day of Fall y’all! That means it’s Halloween right?!?! I know most people don’t start getting festive until October 1st, but I just get so many ideas that I neeeeeeeed to start ridiculously early! There is just nit enough time to do them all!!!! I figure if it’s fall, it’s Halloween and no one can come after me telling me no lol.

When Haylie got off the bus this afternoon from school, she was starving as usual. She was asking for an actual meal and not her usual snack, so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to make a few Spider Sandwiches with her! PB&J is always a hit, so I figured that’s exactly what she would be getting and we would share later. Enjoy!

• Bread
• Peanut Butter
• Jelly
• Chocolate Chips
• Pretzel Sticks
• Round Cup or Cookie Cutter

Spread the peanut butter and jelly onto the bread.

Use your cup or cookie cutter to cut out a circle.

Stick two chocolate chips on the sandwich using peanut butter as “glue”, Then stock 4 pretzel stocks into the sandwich on each side to make spider legs.

Serve & Enjoy!

The first day of fall is just days away, so it’s safe to start posting Halloween content right?!?! I don’t know why, but my daughter was so proud of herself for making these easy peasy Halloween Eyeball Donuts! She is my mini chef that whips things up all the time, but these donuts? I’m not sure what it was, but you would have thought she created the world’s greatest masterpiece. She was so proud!

Since these Halloween Eyeball Donuts are Haylie’s current favorite creation, I figured I would kick of the Halloween season with this tutorial! Enjoy!!!

•Chocolate Donuts
• Frosting
​• Wilton Candy Eyes

All you do is use the frosting as glue and stick the candy eyes all over the donuts!!! My daughter couldn’t get enough of this! I wish we had more eyes so she could have eyeballed the whole bag of donuts!

Another fabulous Big Bounce America weekend has come and gone! We had so much fun at last years Big Bounce America event in Buffalo, that we had to go back again this year! We heard that there were so many new additions to the event that we just HAD to check them out!!!

Since we like to think of ourselves as pros at this point, I figured I would share a few tips since so many people keep asking me if the Junior Session is “safe” from crazy older kids? I figured I would give everyone some peace of mind here and tell you yes!!!! Your kiddos are safe and give you a few other fabulous tips you may need to enjoy your day at the Big Bounce America!!

1. Be Prepared To Run ~ while I feel like adults will have just as much fun as the kiddos, be prepared to run all over that bounce house! It wasn’t just my daughter bouncing off at lighting speed. Everywhere I would look I would see a parent racing after their kiddo. You don’t realize how fast your kids are until you look away for 2 seconds and they are off to another corner of the bounce house! So much fun, but you will literally lose 729202 calories from all that bouncing and chasing you will do! No need to work out for about a week now lol.

2. Pick A Meeting Spot ~ Just Incase you do lose your kiddo, before you start to even bounce, choose a meeting spot. If your kiddo loses you, they know where to head. We chose the DJ booth since it was smack in the middle. Easy to find and you can still have fun if you get separated bouncing to the tunes! Thankfully we did not have to use our meeting spot, but it did give me peace of mind knowing we had one just Incase the unthinkable happened!

3. Who Can Bounce?? ~ Any kids aged 7 & under and their parents/caretakers!!! No big kids allowed which is nice if you have little ones. Unfortunately this does mean if you are the mama to a few older kids and want to attend Big Bounce America as a family, you will need to attend the older kid sessions since older kids are not permitted.

4. What Goes On Inside The Bounce House? ~ Inside the bounce house they have inflatable activities such as basketball hoops, obstacle runs! They have inflatable chill out areas (big boats, oversized sofas, palm trees etc), inflatable animals and characters for you to grab a photo with, slides, ball pits and all manner of awesome entertainment!!! There is also an awesome DJ Spinning age appropriate tunes such as Frozen and Dora the Explore. So fun and nice since every kid trying to do these activities is under 7! You don't have to worry about too much since all the kids are pretty young! No fighting etc, just a bunch of little ones having fun.

5. Bring Water! ~ While yes, Big Bounce America does have a water stand with Dixi Cups, I would recommend bringing your own water. You will be crazy thirsty after all that bouncing and depending on how your event is set up, the water station may be far away. Our station was on the complete opposite end of the Main bounce house. Bring a water bottle! You will thank me later!!!
