These are cute and fun treats your kids can help make and they'll just love eating them off the stick. Here's an easy and basic recipe for these fun treats!
- Saturday Chat With Mom:Moms Connect On Facebook: Sharing your experience of motherhood and family life with others on Facebook seems to be the "in" thing to do these days. Some people use it to connect with friends, new and old, or family members, while others use it primarily for social networking to build their business.
- Our Family Movie Night!: One of the things that we love to do as a family is to watch movies. Make Pizza, Chili or a something that's really simple and quick. It's usually a weekly event. It's very rare that we go to the movie theatre. Regularly, we watch movies at home and we have a little ritual that goes on.
