It’s Amazing all the things I say,
When Mommy takes me out to play …
Will this stick float? Or this rock hop?
Oh Mom, Did you see those orange fish flop?
I love You Mom. This sure is fun,
Look at those silly water bugs run
away from me as I laugh and play.
I really wish we could stay all day …
There’s nothing more fun than this,
A day outdoors is just pure bliss.

Today, I am unveiling a new segment that is very near and dear to my heart, one that I have been eagerly anticipating for quite some time but putting off due to my lack of design skills to create the perfect logo. I finally bit the bullet and created this simple version, it’s not quite the look I had been dreaming of but it works nonetheless. I can not wait to share this quirky take on childhood with each and every one of you.
Background:
The Amazing Adventures of Happy, Sweet and Little is a collection of modern day comic book skits based on the fate, feats and fortunes of my endearing trio. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do … so without further ado … may I present you with:
HAPPY
Age: 4
Rank: Big Brother
Role: Momma’s Little Helper
Fun Fact: Nature/Animal Lover & Budding Eco Ranger
SWEET
Age: 3
Rank: Middle Child
Code Name: Little Miss Independent
Personality Traits: Fearless & Fun-Loving
Little
Age: Almost 1
Rank: Baby Brother
Cool Trick: Walking & Waving at the same time
Reasons he’s like his Dad: He’s Ultra Serious but w/ a great sense of humor
I’ll add the logo to the sidebar so you always have a quick way to see what they’re up to and get started on the first Adventure right away :0) Yay!

I’ve been making an effort this year to feed my family less packaged and processed foods [fun new recipes and how-tos coming soon], BUT in an effort to transition our lifestyle in the most frugal way possible, I have been slowly phasing out our existing stock of pantry items.
I made this version of Blueberry Muffins with a Semi-Streusel with the kids this morning and they were such a hit, I just had to share them with you. When I finally perfect my healthy, homemade version, I’ll post an update for everyone. In the meantime, enjoy this super simple version you can have on the table in just 20 minutes.
You’ll Need:
X1- Follow Muffin Mix Directions on package, add in a carton of YoPlus+ [We LOVE the strawberry kind too] Blueberry Acai yogurt
- Pour batter into Muffin Tin
To make the Streusel Topping: Mix 1/3 cup of oats, with 2-3 spoonfuls of brown sugar, sprinkle in some cinnamon sugar to taste. Then sprinkle this topping on each of the muffins
Bake for 17-21 minutes (whatever the package dictates), mine were perfect after 18 minutes.
And enjoy!! These babies are tasty enough to fool guests and in-laws and hit the spot on a weekend morning when you want to surprise the family with something a little special.
If you try these, stop back by and let me know what you think. If you’d like me to feature more recipes in the future, take a moment and tell me that too. I thrive on feedback

I made a terrific new friend [Amy from Adventures and Pursuits] this week, and like most of the friends I meet thanks to KSW… she had a fantastic idea! She wants to organize a Great American Postcard Swap for families across the United States. What does that mean you ask?
Well, basically it means you will get a postcard a week FOR A YEAR from a different state across the country (they’ll come in alphabetical order). What a special treat for the kids to find something just for them in the mail each week, not to mention a fantastic way to teach your children about diversity, geography, goodwill and even handwriting.
To participate, you’ll need to sign up right away – there is only one family from each state so claim yours before someone else does! If you become a “State Representative”, you will be responsible for mailing out 49 postcards during your designated week.
** You will only send mail once,
but you will receive a new postcard
every week for 49 weeks (50 States)**
The cost for postage will run about $14 dollars.
I think this is a wonderful opportunity for children of any age and I hope you’ll contact Aimee and join me in the a Great American Postcard Swap! I can’t wait to hear from each and every one of you
*Update- Aimee is running a second postcard swap for folks who didn’t make the first list*
