brownies are a big favorite in my house and these just kick it up a notch!

This is Halloween.

I love crafting, but don't have a lot of time or space to do it.

 I saw hand and foot print art on pintrest and knew me and the boys had to make some new Halloween decorations.

 I slightly messed up the spider but hey what do you expect when trying to take a 1 year olds handprints.

 I know I will treasure these decorations forever! 

Boo berry!!!

It is so wierd how things work out sometimes. I was watching The Goldburgs on ABC and they had the cereal Boo-Berry on the show, it instantly brought back childhood memories! The next day this shows up at my door from Platefull 

Me and the boys were more then happy to try them all out! The count Chocula Treats were by far all of our favorites, that box didnt make it a full day in my house of 4.  The count chocula cereal was the 2nd favorite. My youngest Alex (21 months) quickly decided he would just eat the marshmallows out of all three. I remember doing that as a kid as well.. LOL

You can get these throwback cereals and treats at your local Target. 

PS don't forget to cut out and use the monster masks on the back of the cereal. My boys loved them!

Progresso Chili!

Progresso is my favorite brand of soup and now they have Chili! I was happy to see two versions:

• Smokehouse Pork and Beef Chili with Beans: A spin on a homemade classic includes Andouille sausage, beef, and a secret blend of spices, all slow-cooked with tomatoes, onions, green sweet peppers and pinto and red kidney beans
• Southwest Style White Chicken Chili with Beans: A creamy blend of all-white meat chicken, white beans, green sweet peppers, tomatillos and onion

I really liked that the bottom of the pouch was clear so i could see exactly what was inside.
I tried the Chicken chili and really liked it. It tasted fresh like it was homemade, it had a little spice to it but I wouldn't call it spicy. It was super easy to prepare just pour in a bowl and microwave.

 My husband had the Pork and Beef as a late night snack and said it was very good.
 The Progresso Chili will become a staple in my house, it will be a great weekend lunch or a fast delicious dinner for a busy weeknight.

 

 You can find Progresso chili in the soup section of your local grocery store. Check out all things Progresso by clicking HERE

Smashed red potatoes

My Facebook feed was filled with smashed potato recipes so I decided to give it a try on our Sunday dinner with the neighbors. Super simple just boil red potatoes until soft the use a masher to mash each potato. I didn't have a masher so I used a fork. I then drizzled them with olive oil salt pepper and 2%sharp chedder. I found some left over bacon and added that too. They were delicious! 

Free Fun for Kids

Both Lowes and Home Depot do free kid clinics. I love taking my oldest to these. It teaches them how to build things and is fun. 

The first Saturday of everymonth is Home Depots Clinic. At my Home Depot the kids get an apron, a pin, a project and cookies and a drink when they are done. I suggest wearing something you dont mind getting dirty as most of the clinics I have gone to have paint.

Last month he built a bug catcher..























Im not really sure of Lowes schedule it use to be everyother week but it seems to be more spuratic lately. These kits have been themed around popular kid movies lately. Last week was a push a go Turbo, probably one of my sons favorite things he made. Lowes you have to pre register at lowesbuildandgrow.com Next week is the taco truck from Turbo. The kit at Lowes includes an apron, iron on patch, goggles and they kit to build. No paint has ever been used at any of the clinics I have gone too.
