Vertical Salad Garden
As one who lived for many years in row houses and tiny apartments in the heart of a major city, I can’t help but pause–nay, linger and much appreciate–the brilliance of this vertical salad garden. Lettuces, arugula, strawberries, herbs… all standing up in a French riddling rack. Hmm. If only I could actually grown things. Created by Anne Philips at … Read More ...
Pool and Camp Cakes
Summer is on my mind, I guess. Though I never had a backyard pool and I never went to summer camp (ever, really, no summer camp here), I can’t help but appreciate the kid-appeal of these two cakes from BHG. Learn to make a pool cake HERE and a camp cake HERE.
Chocolate Chalkboards
These chalkboards are totally edible. No, one step further, not only are they totally edible, but they are chocolate. Chocolate!

Color Your Own Sugar Pearls (and Make a Pearly Mum)
Just three days ago I was in the baking aisle of the craft store ogling all the different colors of sugar pearls. Because of their high price tag, I debated which one color to buy, trying to imagine the crafts I would create with any one particular color, couldn’t decide, and left empty-handed. Then I spotted this post over at … Read More ...
Cereal Art
Spotted on Ohdeedoh, I’m loving this edible art idea for kids from Michele Made Me: Draw a design on craft paper and let kids outline the design with cereal. My 3-year old’s favorites are represented here (Rice Krispies and Cheerios, plain, eaten dry, two spoons), but I think she’d request a unicorn or princess. Find the how-tos HERE … Read More ...

The Zoku Pop Character Tool Kit
Mom, if you’re reading this, please bookmark this item as a gift idea for yours truly. I know my birthday isn’t until October, but as popsicles are seasonal, it may be important to purchase this one sooner rather than later. Perhaps as a “just because” present? (Batting eyelashes.)
