My children love peanut butter balls. They also love to cook and experiment in the kitchen. This recipe is easy enough that they can do it on their own.
Below is the recipe, quick and easy to make as well as a video to show my children making them too.
Yummy Peanut Butter Balls
1 7-oz container of Puffed Marshmallow Cream

1 cup of chocolate chips
Sugar

Mix well and form into balls. Once the balls are formed roll them in sugar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Then eat and enjoy!
I’m sure I will have many of these moments, but it still a great feeling whenever it happens. I wanted to share my latest Proud Mama Moment with you. I attended my daughter’s first piano recital. She has been taking piano lessons for 6 weeks and was invited to her first recital. We are extremely proud of her accomplishments and look forward to many more.
Here she is playing in her first of many piano recitals:
Thanks for letting me share this with you..

Here is a great quote I wanted to share with you all.
‘The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the fields, perfectly, simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mold us.’ Oswald Chambers
We have been having a blast with our new Flip Video Camcorder
Now mind you that at age 8 I could barely walk without bumping into walls are tripping on the patterns of the carpet, so to see my 8 year old accomplish this I was truly impressed.
Enjoy the video clip below and let me know what you think:
Thanks for viewing my little tumbler…

I have the cutest kids!! My youngest yesterday presented me with ‘flowers’ and he was so very proud! I didn’t have the heart to tell him they were weeds:)
I am so proud to have such wonderful children and it sure makes up for the messes they make around the house. I hope you enjoy the video of the precious moment I shared with my little guy.
I video taped the momentous event and wanted to share it with you:)

Did you know that today is National Child Health Day?
What does that mean exactly?
Well, as adults we should be concerned with our child’s health. It is important to be aware of the illnesses lurking and the many ways we can prevent them. It is not wise to wait for a symptom to arise. By focusing on their health, nutrition and overall well being, we can prevent the many illnesses.
Have you encountered those moments when you walked into your kitchen and found mud all over your floors, and wondered what happened? Then you see your little guy, coming around the corner with mud all over their face and clothes. You ask him, did you make this mess and he responds, I didn’t do it. Amazing how they learn to lie at such a young age. But did you know that at the age of 2 and 3 and sometimes 4, children are still learning the meaning of cause and effect?
This seems to be a very popular topic amongst friends and I wanted to share some of my tips. It is not always easy to get your children involved with doing daily chores, but it certainly helps if you start with them from an early age.
I still remember my mom telling me to pick up my toys when I was finished playing with them and I was very young at the time. She was instilling a sense of responsibility at a young age which unfortunately now a days many parents do not do. I never received allowance for my chores and therefore I do not offer allowance to my children.
Today I took my younger 3 children to the beach. The weather didn’t seem to want to cooperate with rain clouds and lightning threatening us, but we were determined and decided to brave the storm.
We drove for over 30 minutes before we saw sunlight and our hopes were high once again. The beach outing was part of my girl’s cheer team event. It was a huge event that was planned for many months and my girls were very excited and would have been disappointed if I had let the rain clouds change our plans.
All the ‘Back to School’ talks and specials I see everywhere has triggered a thought…my oldest is a Senior this year!! Perhaps that is why I have been having difficulties with her, hmmm….
Although she puts on a great act of being tough and strong, I believe deep down she is a frightened child. I know this because when I was a High School Senior, many, many years ago, I felt the same way. My fear of growing up and moving away to college was well justified, but I closed up rather than lashing out like she does. Apparently everyone handles fear differently.
