DIY Easy Bake Waffles

-
Little Misse's birthday just passed and she asked for an easy Bake Oven. I never had one but I thought it was a good idea but the down sides are that they are big and expensive and the refills are expensive for what they are. The thing is that Little Miss already bakes with me. I did want to get her something that she could use by herself but that would be more useful.
I found this pink, heart shapped waffle maker at Canadian Tire. It makes mini waffles and Little Miss loves waffles (who doesn't?) Along with the waffle maker I found a pack of 4 little Mason jars. 
I wanted to make little single serving waffle mixes that she could use as you would an Easy Bake Oven mix. To do this I measured our 1/2 of our favorite waffle mix and split that into 4 portions. I made different flavors, birthday cake (by adding sprinkles) brownie (by adding 1 tsp of cocoa.) 
When we made the waffles mixes we added 1 egg 1/4 milk and 1tbs melted butter.
Along with the waffle maker Little Miss also got a small purple whisk and spatula. The present was a hit and the little waffles mixes were delicious. Now Little Miss has all she needs to make breakfast for the family!
Happy baking!

There are so many great yoga game ideas for kids out there, this is one that I found that is good for all age groups. The original idea was picking up the pom-poms with your toes only but I found that you can make many variations as you go. Ask the kids for ideas as you're playing as well it's fun to see what they will think of. Toe-ga Empty a bag of pom-poms on the floor. Sit in a circle around the pom-poms. Each player sits back, hands on the floor, knees bent. Place an empty bowl near each player's feet. 123 go, using only their toes each player has to put as many pom-poms in their bowl as they can. Yoga pose pom-pom pick up Empty a bag of pom-poms on the floor. Standing or sitting in a circle choose a yoga pose that everyone can do. While in the pose each player has to place as many pom-poms in their bowls as they can.  Some poses to try: Downward dog, use your hands to pick up the pom-poms.  Tree pose use your toes to pick up the pom-poms.

Time Out

                                                        What I had planned to do this weekend My activity suggestion for this week is to leave the kids at home (under supervision of course, while you’re at it you can leave your spouse there too) and have some alone time.   Real alone time.   Not alone while doing the groceries time, that’s nice but every once in a while we all need some good quality time by ourselves.   I was lucky enough to get two days to myself.   My sister was going out of town and she offered me her apartment.   This was exciting for a number of reasons 1- she lives in the city and I live in the suburbs (there is a Starbucks within walking distance of her place and we don’t have a Starbucks at all where I live, so yay for coffee!) 2- I could have a weekend to myself for free.  All the pieces fell into place and I had a weekend all to myself.   Everyone kept asking what I was going to do and I didn’t want to say nothing so I made a list ·          Do yo
