The Daytona 500 marks the beginning of another NASCAR* racing season. Excitement abounds in our household as the racing fans gear up for the big race tomorrow! I already caught my husband holed up in the den watching the Nationwide race today. I'm preparing myself for the roar of the engines tomorrow.

Do you have any young racecar fans in your home? Try out some of these fun ideas as you celebrate the start of racing season.

Heart Time Hunt: Give Your Kids the Simple Gift of Time This Valentine's Day! Fun Family Activities . . .

valentines

At Valentine's Day, I love doing a fun scavenger hunt with heart-shaped clues and some sort of "prize" at the end.  As I thought about what my kids would like this Valentine's Day, I realized that they would really enjoy my time and attention (along with a little candy)! Since there is only a certain amount of time on Valentine's Day itself, I decided that this year instead of putting clues on our hidden hearts, I would write personalized activities on the hearts (to be redeemed throughout the month of February).

I don't know about your kids, but each of mine has particular things he would like to do.  My eight year old would love to toss a football with me (as he delights in the fact that he is much better at it than I am), or he would love to fold paper airplanes and launch them off the balcony.  My six year old, who loves to talk, would relish the idea of undivided attention as he talks incessantly about his favorite book or movie.  He would also be thrilled with a game of checkers!  Really, some of those simple things are what matter to kids.

During the month of January, we will be featuring some family fun night ideas with a Disney* theme! Our family happens to be counting down the days until we head to Disney World, but you don't need to be heading off for a Disney vacation to enjoy some of these fun activities.

I found a great way to get my kids to love fruit as much as cookies—make the fruit look like Mickey Mouse!

I cored an apple, cut it in slices, and then used an apple slice as Mickey's head.  I then added two banana slices for the ears.  an easy  (and healthy) hidden Mickey!

Yesterday we got our Christmas tree. I had an idyllic dream of cutting down our tree with big snow flakes slowly drifting down, and everyone filled with holiday cheer. In reality, we were all pretty tired from our Thanksgiving travels. Instead of holiday cheer, crankiness seemed to fill the air. We managed to get our tree, and not all was lost. These Christmas tree pizzas saved the day!

The kids LOVED decorating Christmas tree pizzas, and they were really easy to make. I rolled out my pizza dough the regular way, and instead of cutting the pizza into slices after baking, I cut the slices before topping the pizza (the wedge shapes make the top part of the trees). I cut a couple of strips from the dough wedges to get extra dough to make the tree trunks.

I have a confession to make.  As you may have noticed, I have been neglecting my blog lately.  But I have a reason!  I am busily putting the finishing touches on a new book, a companion book to my family fun night book.  It is a cookbook with fun ideas and recipes for busy moms (including "no time to cook" menus).

Today I took one of the super easy ideas from my upcoming book, and made a PB&J Lightsaber* for my son:

lightsaber_roll_up_web

We put the peanut butter on the inside of this tortilla roll-up, and the jelly on the ouside (he wanted the "blade" to be red).  He also informed me that every Lightsaber has a black or silver hilt!  (That's when the tin foil idea came into play.)

"Memory-Making Meals Monday" is a regular blog post feature that includes meal ideas for fun-filled family dinners and/or kid-friendly snacks.

Happy Columbus Day!

Treat your kids to this super easy snack to commemorate the voyage to the new world!  Peel kiwi fruit, cut in half, and add a decorative toothpick to make a ship.  Make three and you can name them the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria.
