These waffle cones are a super healthy alternative to ice cream and you don't even have to go throw anything away. To master this crispy parenting coolness, pack the cones and the fruit separately until you've reached your destination. Then serve and enjoy. Top that with some awesome sauce, baby. Yeah.

I've not encountered a kid who doesn't like watermelon or slushies. 

Make this recipe out of simple honey and watermelon. The article also mentions about how you can keep them cubed and frozen until you get where you're going. Cubed watermelon = Instant ice packs in your cooler. 

That's awesome, might I add.

Kids love crispy phyllo.


We love that these spinach sticks take a fraction of the time to make compared to their Greek Spanakopita counterparts.


Plus, you don't need silverware of any kind. What does the fox say about your picnic? Pa pow pow pow pow pow pow.


More coordinated cuteness awaits below! These are the FabKids outfits we picked for the month. The material is sooo soft and the kids love the colors. Bubby girl consistently tries to wear her jumpsuit on a daily basis. Yup, she's in the stage of trying on different clothes all day long. Wish me and the washing machine luck. We totally need it...

Now take a gander at this Quinoa Salad.

We're digitally eating it all right now, baby. Yeah. Quinoa is super rich in protein, by the way. It also has a crunchy texture that kids and parents alike are sure to enjoy eating. Publix Greenwise stores have a variation of this salad in the deli that comes pre-made and is also delicious. Time savers unite!

Finally...

Another kid fave that could be perfect for picnics involves hot dogs wrapped in Pillsbury croissant rolls.

You could put them on a stick, add cheese or even use Lil' Smokies to make smaller ones.

Enjoy kid perfect picnicking, friends!

Cosplaying Captain America

I am such a dork. Let's just start right there. I could watch anything comics related over, and over, and over again. The kids have all the shields and helmets (and mjolnirs) from basically every Marvel character known to man and every once in a while I'm tempted to put one on and go about my day as a regular crazy individual. Could you imagine it?!

The Captain America Shot
Sasaki Time

Anyway, the point is that my fangirl ways never stop. Look at this cool layered shot recipe that you could drink every time you think Scarlett Johansson looks hot. Grab a seat because in this new movie you're sure to get hammered like Thor. Put your mjolnirs in the air if you're pickin' up what Odin is throwin' down to Earth.

For this recipe, you need to slowly pour the liquid in the shot glass. Start with grenadine, then creme de cacao & then blue curacao. Serve just like that, without shaking it all around.

Oh, wait! You don't drink? No problem! Check out this recipe here that would be perfect for just about any occasion. It involves Sprite, cranberry juice & blue Gatorade. Yummo.

Finally, read this article where Scarlett explains that if you want something, you have to go get it. We can dig it. 

We don't just dig it, Scarlett... we totes heart it. Drake just told me that's my motto as well. Oh, yeah. That and Y.O.L.O....

Erryday.

Get it, girl! Congrats on the pregnancy, by the way. Welcome to the club.
