So cute! Reminds me of Sundays growing up. We’d come home from church and have a “fiesta”. Basically it was pulling everything we had out of the cupboards and putting it on crackers. Then we’d stack them to see who could make the tallest tower. I didn’t realize back then it’s because we were really poor. It was just fun for us!

Thanks for stopping by my blog last week!

Thanks for leaving your link on my blog! I appreciate it, so I can come here and check out your site. I love it– especially this recipe. I am not very functional in the kitchen, but I could really make these cookies even using break-n-bakes from Pillsbury!!!

Wow! I am loving this! Saw that you commented on my site and I wanted to come check yours out! WOWW!!!! I am so going to have to pre-order your book.

My youngest is close to/just starting to eat solids and I am stoked to read your Homemade baby food page! Now I need to figure out where to follow….hmmm.

You are so much more creative than I am! Just today, I handed the kids a plate of plain Ritz crackers and some slices of cheese. One of them said, “You always give us this. We’re tired of it”. Won’t they be surprised tomorrow when I hand them a plate with a caterpillar on it?? I love this!!!

How FUN! I love this idea and my little boy loves The Very Hungry Caterpillar – we read it almost every night before bed. I think we’ll have to try this snack soon.

Thanks and thanks for visiting my blog
