Putting Fun in Functional

** Reminder: Get-A-Goodie ends at Midnight Central Time Tonight!!**

The Boon Company have some really creative products, especially the Animal Bag. I think this product is brilliant! The idea is that you stuff the sack with all your soft, plush and stuffed animals; which then creates a perfect bean bag of sorts!

$59.99

See....brilliant! Now if your buddy has near as many stuffed animals as mine does, this is definitely a need.

I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for...Popsicles!

Homemade Popsicles are a great way to celebrate this Memorial Day weekend! They are super easy and loved by all. Try one of these recipes and you are sure to be a popular mommy!

Fudgesicle

1 4 oz. pkg. instant chocolate pudding

2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup canned evaporated milk

Combine the pudding and 2 cups milk. Beat for 2 minutes. Stir in sugar and canned milk. Pour in to popsicle molds. Freeze.

Cookies 'N Cream Frozen Popsicles

1 cup Cool Whip
12 Oreo Cookies - crushed
1/2 cup milk
1 4-serving pack of Vanilla Instant Pudding

Mix the above ingredients together and pour into your mold set to make popsicles. Freeze for 4-5 hours before serving.

Polar Popsicles

Rinse strawberries and remove stems. Place strawberries and flavored soft-drink mix into a blender container, cover and blend on low speed for 1 1/2 minutes or until smooth. Pour mixture into your popsicle molds and insert the sticks and freeze for 3 hours.

You can find lots of molds out there. This is my favorite!

Fellow boy mom and good friend, Adriane just threw the cutest Mickey party for D's 2nd birthday! Check out this cake!

She was going for a color scheme of Red, Yellow, and blue with splashes of Black.

Perfect popcorn boxes made by mom herself!

Time to Party Tuesday: Step it Up!

THIS boy party makes me smile! It just goes to show that anything can serve as party inspiration. This awesome first birthday was created by a boy mom who's husband loves his athletic shoes.

Easy and brilliant centerpiece of the Birthday boys own shoe collection. Isn't it perfect!? I love how the invite asks guests to wear their coolest shoes.

Cute favors: shoe note pads

When planning your buddy's next birthday, take a note from the Poe family! Start with something they love and run with it. That is how we came to the Chutes and Ladders theme for my little Buddy. He loves to climb and slide!

I recently came across some tiny sized fedora hats and HAD to share them with you. They are Uber Cute and I beg of you to get one, put it on your little buddy and send me pics! The Buddy won't wear anything on his head, so these are out for me :o(
