Halloween Mummy Snacks: Mummy Chicken Nuggets and Pizza Rolls

October 3, 2017 By Morgan Last Updated: December 11, 2018

These Halloween Mummy Snacks are perfect for a Halloween party or for eating before going trick or treating. Chicken nuggets or pizza rolls wrapped in dough with olive eyes are the perfect, simple Halloween dinner!

Ask any parent what two, sure fire foods are for kids under 10 and they’ll probably give you some form of “chicken nuggets and pizza.” Maybe throw in PB&J or hot dogs but let’s be real, kids love chicken nuggets and pizza.

Okay, okay, I’m 26 and I also love chicken nuggets and pizza. But I digress.

If you’ve been a follower for some time, you probably are aware how much I adore Halloween. I’ve always been the one to start planning for Halloween in July (okay, fine, I may or may not start planning even before that. So sue me.) which is kind of how these little mummy snacks came about.

I was perusing the Halloween side of Pinterest (AS ONE DOES IN JULY, DON’T JUDGE ME ;)) and I saw these super cute mummy dogs pop up again and again. Problem is, for the most part, my kids aren’t huge hot dog fans. Blame my husband who ‘makes’ them eat artisanal, gourmet sausages, but hot dogs aren’t big in our house.

Car Lunch Box – Car themed lunch boxes for boys

August 24, 2017 By Morgan Last Updated: November 26, 2018

If your kiddo loves cars, send them to school with a fun car lunch box! These car themed lunch boxes are a fun and simple twist on a boring school lunch box. Just a few simple hacks and you’ll have a fun lunch any car lover would love. All of these car lunch boxes are healthier than your average lunch box, packed with fruits and veggies.

The sheer number of times I have seen the movie Cars in the past few months is honestly daunting. I rented the movie once in an effort to get Ryan to sit still and quiet for once so Owen could get in a good nap (we have a tiny house and 8/10 naps Owen takes are interrupted by Ry screaming at the top of his lungs from outside where Owen is napping..) and it was the first time I have ever seen Ryan sit still for longer than 20 minutes. He sat and watched the entire thing in silence and since that day he asks nearly daily to watch it. I ended up buying it on Google Play so I can stream it and I’m pretty sure I could recite the movie line by line.

It really shouldn’t have shocked me – a movie about race cars? For the little boy who came into this world already harboring a car obsession? The son of a mechanic? Yeah. It was kind of inevitable.

The reality of it is that Ryan is just obsessed with anything and everything car. He loves being in the car because he can point out cars as we pass them (YES it gets old really, really quickly) and he even classifies cars by who owns them – minivans are ‘mom cars’, Jeeps are ‘grandpa cars’ since my dad has one, pickup trucks are ‘daddy trucks’ – you get the picture. His other favorite show is Blaze and the Monster Machines, a kid’s show about talking monster trucks.

First Day of School Lunch Ideas

August 15, 2017 By Morgan Last Updated: July 25, 2018

Making a first day of school lunch your kids will remember all year long doesn’t have to be hard – these 3 simple first day of school lunch ideas!

Like I mentioned in last week’s post about pancakes for the first day of school (they’re super fun and simple – definitely check them out!) Ryan is starting pre-K in less than a month and I’m kind of super excited. YES, it’s going to be so weird to just be me and Owen for a couple of hours, but I’m so excited for Ry to make friends, learn, and grow into his own little person without me (insert really strained happy smile). But I’m also super excited to do weird things like make him lunch or volunteer for class mom.

I’m kind of a weirdo in that I’ve been excited for that kind of stuff since I was a kid. In high school, I helped out the boys’ lacrosse team and I literally made them snacks and food for after games. I would bake for my friends and bring in food and treats for class projects any chance I got. I’ve always loved taking care of people, but I’ve also loved an excuse to make people happy with food – even better if it’s not at my house so I don’t have to do the clean up for it.
