Kid-Friendly Peanut Butter Treats


Kid Friendly Peanut Butter Treats/ {i love} my disorganized life



Now that my kids are older, they're pretty self sufficient when it comes to making snacks. But as a grandmother of 1 and 2-year-old girls, I like to be sure to have healthy treats on hand. When my kids were little, I used to make them fun little peanut butter treats. They loved them. They're bite-sized and perfect for small hands. Not to mention pretty tasty and super easy to make.

Although, you may want to double the batch. They disappear rather quickly!



Here's all you need:

  1. 1/2 C peanut butter
  2. 2 Tbsp honey
  3. 1/2 C dry milk
  4. Graham cracker crumbs {enough to roll treats in}
Here's all you do:
  1. Mix peanut butter and honey in a medium bowl
  2. Add dry milk and mix well
  3. Roll into tsp sized balls
  4. Roll in graham cracker crumbs
  5. Chill for about 30 min and enjoy

Father's Day {man cave} Giveaway







Can you believe May is nearly over? For me, it seems like we just said goodbye to 2012 and, honestly, I've barely gotten used to writing 2013. We've declared our love to our sweethearts, drank green beer, chased bunnies that left us eggs {I still have no idea how that makes any sense} and celebrated our moms.

Is Christmas really only seven months away?

OK, wait, back up. So not ready to think about that. 

Is it just me, or do we jump for Mother's Day to summer BBQ's then Christmas? Aren't we forgetting something? There's got to be more there.

Yes, like Fourth of July. Halloween. Thanksgiving.

Father's Day. That's the one.

There are so many reasons to celebrate, I think by the time June rolls around we just need a nap. I know I do.

Well, this year I am happy to be part of something that pays homage to dads everywhere. A giveaway. Not just any giveaway. A cash giveaway. What dad wouldn't love the gift of cash? There are so many possibilities! And chances are he'd love to fill his 'man cave' with all sorts of goodies. And you can win it for him. In fact, three people will be making their father's very happy. 

Besides, who couldn't use a little help getting on the man's 'good-side'?


I was invited to join in on this incredible giveaway by Lexi Lane and Becky McNeer, the authors of The Blogger's Survival Guide:Tips and Tricks for Parent Bloggers, Wordsmiths and Enthusiasts.

Oh, don't be fooled, it's not just for parent bloggers. It has resources on blog set up and design, driving traffic to your site, site content, making money with your blog, and even the not-so-fun legal stuff. Whether you're experienced, a novice, or just thinking of starting a blog, this book is a must-read.



Good Luck!
