Put a little JIGGLE into your Halloween

To say my family has gone through some tough times in the past year and a half is an understatement.  That coupled with the fact that New Jersey has missed out on the past two Halloweens {Snowpacalypse 2011 / Hurricane Sandy 2012} makes me want to make this Halloween the best!holiday!ever! for my sweet girls.  And I don't know about you, but it doesn't feel like a holiday to me unless it starts in the kitchen.

Now I know what you're thinking...what is there to cook for Halloween?  Don't you just buy a bag of candy and call it a day?  Well, you can, but this year I wanted to do a little something more special.  I wanted to not only have a sweet treat for the girls, but also be able to spend a special moment with them, creating something together.  These little moments in the kitchen are some of my favorite and most treasured. 

So this weekend Emmy and I decided to get a little creative and make some Halloween treats.  This can be a challenge, what with her peanut allergy and all.  Thankfully JELL-O made this a none issue!  I have been a huge fan of JELL-O since I was a little girl, and just love being able to pass that love onto my girls.

As good as plain ol' JELL-O in a bowl is, my absolute favorite is JELL-O JIGGLERS.  There's something about being able to hold it in your hand that makes it even more delicious. 

Emmy and I settled on the Halloween Cat Eyes JIGGLERS and got to work.

Ingredients

3/4 cup boiling tonic water
1/2 cup boiling water
2 pkg JELL-O Lemon Flavor Gelatin
4 seedless red grapes each cut into 6 slices.

Directions
Gather all your ingredients together
Spray a muffin tin and set aside
Boil the water and tonic water together
Pour mixture over JELL-O Lemon Gelatin
Mix well
Place 1 tbsp. of mixture into each cup
Place one grape slice in each cup.  Refrigerate for three minutes
Add at least 1 tbsp. on top of each cup.  Refrigerate for three hours
Enjoy!!

    how freaking cute are these!!! Great idea mama!! And even better that most kids probably don't have an allergy to what is in Jell-O so it works for almost everyone! :)

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
