Homemade Dog Biscuits
 Years back when the major dog food companies recalled their dog food and snacks my family, like many others in the country, did not feel safe letting their four legged family members eat just any old dog treat out there.


We found this recipe in a neighborhood cook book and made them for our dogs. Yes, it is much easier to go buy dog biscuits at the store, but knowing that your pet is getting a healthy treat is just as important as your child having one!







Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
yield: 36 medium sized biscuits
 1 cup Low-fat Peanut Butter
1 cup Nonfat Milk
1 tsp Fish Oil, optional but it promotes healthy skin and fur
2 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 TBS Baking Powder Bone Shaped Cookie Cutters, from Martha Stewart

preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. In a large bowl add the peanut butter. Slowly add the milk while whisking simultaneously. Whisk until combined and smooth. Add fish oil if using.

2. In a separate bowl combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder. Pour the peanut butter mixture on top and use a large spoon to combine.

3. Divide dough into 2 portions. Flour a work surface and rolling pin, and roll to a 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut into shapes (or cut into small squares).

4. Cover two baking sheets with parchment and place the cookies on top. Cookies can be close as they should not spread.

5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until hard and crisp. Let cool before giving to your pet.

im loving this publication. im starting to search for ideas on my own on-line quarterly publication and this might be a great starting point.

beau & i made a volcano sunday.
we started out with an empty gatorade bottle.
i hot glued it to a foil wrapped cardboard piece.
then we formed paper around the bottle and taped it.
i used a elmer's glue & water mixture to creat apaper mache.
we used our scrap paper and covered the volcano.
i sat it in front of the fan to dry for about 2 hours.
we painted the brown and then the red.
i put a little liquid dish soap and yellow and red food coloring in the bottle.
then i poured in about 1 tbsp baking soda.
i had a half cup of warm water that i added.
then add a half cup white vinegar.
then enjoy the erruption.
:)

ps :: by allowing the volcano to dry well and wrapping the cardboard
 in foil you can reuse the volcano for several erruptions!
Beaus  Chocolate  Factory


 about 5 months ago i started planning my son's birthday party (like the ocd control freak that i am) we decided to go with a willy wonka birthday {beau's chocolate factory}

i didn't so a whole lot for decorations but i came up with some fun games the kids loved, and had a photo booth. i also had an inventing room where they could make their own lollipops, and i had both movies playing during the party. one of my favorite things was the lickable walpaper. we had a chocolate fountain of yoo hoo that the kids {and adults} loved. here are some highlights from the awesome fiasco!
