Yesterday I used the last sugar pumpkin in the house to make Pumpkin Whoopie Pies and they turned out super good! We even brought some over to the neighbors.
For dinner we made rubin patty melts and roasted parmesan acorn squash. I used left over squash and fried it up with sausage, herbs and added it to pasta with a wine cream sauce.

I normally get in the kitchen around 5 and dinner is on the table anytime between 6:30-7. I love being in the kitchen so I really drag my feet rereading recipes and even check emails. On nights when the kids have activities I do prep after the morning school run and put something in the crock pot early or make a double portion the night before so I spend no more than 30min. before we are seated at the table.

Perfect! I am going to make one with my daughter this afternoon. Love the solution!

We bought our daughter the chalet doll house from Plan Toys that shares the similar angle roof and I think it actually limits the playability.
These styles look great, that's why we bought it, but if I were to do it over again I would buy a more traditional style.

I was surprised how unwilling this school was to change AND what they were serving!! You have to know it's wrong to serve that kind of food. Pizza for breakfast?! Just one of the reasons I don't let my kids buy school lunches.
I think the "cooks" were scared for their jobs and that is why they came off so defensive.

I made this last night and my husband and I loved it. I did add some sliced spicy sausage but the flavors from the vegetables were delicious! This one is a keeper!

We have had a number of play kitchens purchased both new and from craigs list and I know the amount of use would never make up for the cost of kitchens like that.
We are on our 3rd play kitchen. It's 2 basic wooden shelves, a small plastic tub for a sink and hook turned upside for the down for the faucet all from ikea. cost $40 i think?

not hot. i remember my mom winning a colander much like the white one from a tupperware party when i was a kid.

For back to school gear I purchased a Pottery Barn backpack VERY similar to this one. The only difference is that it does not have Star Wars and it does have wheels. We are 1 month into school and I am very upset with how poorly the bag is holding up, especially with how much I paid for it!!

I have looked at pieces like this before and although they seem to fit all furniture needs of young kids it just doesn't make decorating much fun. I like a mix and match style and this just seems too limiting.
