[…]is anything like ours, your kids love to snack, and you like to make it fun. I love teaching the kids about all of the holidays and celebrating it with them. Sometimes I go all out, and sometimes, I like to keep it simple. Since Cinco De Mayo is coming up, I thought it would be fun to have a snack to go along with it. It’s been a little hectic around here, so I opted for keep it simple.
The kids begged me, so I picked up some Delimex Chicken Taquitos and some Delimex beef and cheese tacos on our last trip to Walmart. We have had some rolled taco dippers before and I remembered how much they loved them so I knew they would be a hit! Even though they gobble them up without anything else, I wanted to make it extra fun. I thought about it for a few days, and then I realized that I could whip up a batch of Sombrero Fiesta Dip and I was sure that I had everything I needed on hand already.
Gather your ingredients.
~Chunky salsa
~8 ounces sour cream
~8 ounces cream cheese
~shredded cheddar
~shredded lettuce
~tomatoes
~green onions
Now make it:
Mix the sour cream and cream cheese together. Spread in bottom of dish.
Add a layer of salsa.
Add lettuce.
Add cheese.
Garnish with tomatoes and green onions.
Optional: Jalenpenos, olives, taco seasoning, refried beans, corn
My kids think these are the prettiest things in the world and are convinced that the cream cheese and sour cream is really ice cream. They are weird, haha. They couldn’t wait for the Delimex chicken taquitos and the beef and cheese tacos to finish cooking so they could dig into their fiesta dip cups. Even dad can’t wait to dig in with them.

[…]really loved the variety of different drawings and I had a lot of fun doing the activities with them {and I am NO artist}. Legos has become the kids’ very favorite thing to do when we are home. I like to try to find a building challenge anytime we study a landmark from a certain place. We all worked together to build the Great Wall of China. Don’t just see Quicksketch and look at the picture. Be sure to read through it for some learning challenges. This quicksketch introduces them to the concept of depth in a picture. Draw yourself in the front, draw yourself in the background. Are they different? It also includes an explanation on why the two should look different.

[…]works for us, at least right now. The bedrooms are huge, and serve as multipurpose rooms.
Both kids have slept with us since they were born. I wouldn’t have it any other way. It has worked for us and I love it. As they get a little older and started sleeping better, I began putting them to bed in their crib, which is in our room. Then, with Maggie, at one point, I moved her crib into her room {through the bathroom so still very close by}. When she wakes up, she comes to bed with us. The same will be true for Charlie, and all of the rest of our kids.
However, we love to have company, and often times, that company stays the night. We have an oversized queen mattress that we throw down on the floor in the kids’ room whenever we have company. Then, Maggie just goes to bed in our room, which she loves! A few weeks ago, we had my sister, her husband and the new baby staying with us, so we moved Maggie’s toddler bed into our room, the crib into our room because we are starting to use it with Charlie once in awhile. Our room is also housing our exercise equipment so it’s pretty packed in there.
Having the beds out of the kids’ rooms got us thinking. Maybe, just maybe, we would make it a toy room only in there. Right now, most of the toys are in the living room, but that makes the house look messy often times, and now that Maggie is a bit older, we let her play upstairs alone more often. I would really love to share more about our bedrooms with pictures, but they are so unbelievably messy right now, that I am not brave enough to show them to you! So for now, the rooms are both jam packed with things and we can’t make up our minds on what we want to do. In the mean time, there bedroom is decorated with these awesome jungle stickers that Maggie loves! Each week, you will find the Tuesday’s Toddler Tales linky with a different topic. This weeks topic is our kids’ bedrooms. Next week, stop back and link up your mommy confessions, these should be good.

[…]snack. I knew the Keebler® Ready Crust® Mini Graham Cracker Pie Crusts would be a hit with the kids and get them in the kitchen helping mix up some goodness. Let’s face it, if you are going to have pies, you need to have some Reddi-wip®, right?!
The last thing I had to decide was what could we fill them with that the kids could do completely on their own. I left that thought to rumble in my head while we shopped. We ALWAYS have to pick up a gazillion containers of yogurt or I’m fairly sure we will all starve to death. We always have our favorites but I couldn’t help but grab a few new flavors that are the perfect fall flavors AND would make the perfect filling for our tasty treats we were going to be making. Dannon® Greek Yogurt; Oikos® Pumpkin Pie Greek Yogurt and Light & Fit® Greek Apple Pie Yogurt. With the thought of caramel apples on my brain, I picked up some caramel and couldn’t wait to make these.
Since Friday was Maggie’s 5th birthday {what, seriously, how did this happen?}, that felt like the perfect time for a treat. Now, we generally have tons of different types of yogurt in our house, but you will almost never see me eating greek yogurt, I am just not a fan. Until now. I’m serious here folks, the Light & Fit® Greek Apple Pie Yogurt is so delicious that I’m now converted. Okay, I know you are now dying to know how to make these, so enough chit chat. Here you go!

[…]kick that cough. We use this a lot in the diffuser in the kids’ room if they have a cough. Cooking Lemon oil can be used in cooking for marinades to add that delicious lemon flavor.
When applying lemon oil to the skin, direct exposure of that area of the skin to sunlight should be avoided for at least 12 hours. Edited to add: My niece had tons of blackheads in her ears. I applied a drop of lemon oil to the tip of a q-tip and rubbed it on the blackheads. Within 2 days, almost all of them were gone. This was after they had tried multiple other things with no results.

[…]it, I will start a weekly linky. This week, I decided to pick one of my favorite songs to sing with my kids. Maggie and I have been doing this since she was just a few months old, and we sang it with Charlie the other day and got lots of smiles from him. Warning: Your baby should have decent head control, otherwise, be sure to hold your hands behind baby’s head. Hold your baby facing you and sway back and forth while singing:
Tick Tock, Tick tock, I’m a little cuckoo clock
Tick tock, tick tock, now I’m striking one o’clock
Coo coo! (Gently raise baby into the air and back down one time) Tick tock tick tock, I’m a little cuckoo clock
Tick tock, tick tock, now I’m striking two o’clock
Coo coo! Coo coo! (repeat actions 2 times) Tick tock, tick tock, I’m a little cuckoo clock
Tick tock, tick tock, now I’m striking three o’clock
Coo coo! Coo coo! Coo coo! (repeat actions 3 times) I hope your kids enjoy singing this as much as we do! Feel free to comment with a favorite song or game you play with your little ones. And let me know if you would be interested in a linky each week to share songs and games with […]
