We've been busy cooking up a storm, trying all the recipes from the tasty time with ze fronk cookbook. This isn't in the cookbook but it was on Ze Fronk one day and it is now little man's signature snack. Cherry tomatoes, basil and mozzarella on toothpicks. It's super easy and a great use for the ton of basil from the balcony garden!   Papa and little man made ze banana dog for breakfast this weekend.

I love handprint art, it's a great keepsake and fun to make. Do this outside! Or in a room covered in newspaper. It's fun and messy. What you need: Paint (water based) and brushes Construction paper Paper towels!!! Cost: Under $5.00 use what you have around the house Paint stripes to make bumblebees Parents, join in the fun! Making Mama and baby fox If you have finger paints and you don't know what to do Use red white and blue to make Thing one and Thing two (a little cat in the hat humour) We made elephants, bees, foxes, flowers and 2 things, not to mention a big mess! But we had fun!

Recreate the picture from Breakfast at Tiffany's check! I did it! I crossed an item off my bucket list! Bucket lists are funny things, imaginary (in my case) lists of dream vacations and/or other activities. Most lists don't make sense to anyone but the list maker. I don't know why I wanted to recreate this picture. I've just always liked it and it seemed like it had the potential to be a fun thing to do and it was! My hubby and I went to New York for the first time this month and at the top of my to see list was Tiffany & co. I think I said Breakfast at Tiffanys one too many times (without explaining what I was going on about) leading him to believe that it was a restaurant but he went along with it when I explained what it was. In the picture I don't have to pastry bag because it was already a jugle to walk the streets with coffee, there were at least a thousand people per block! I had to wait for a turn at the iconic window but it was wor...
