Mrs. Cubbisons Edible Centerpiece Challenge!
I love a good challenge. This one is SO FUN!!! The challenge that Mrs. Cubbison’s issued was “Can you make an edible centerpiece?” Why… yes, YES I can!! Challenge accepted!! Now you know I’m all about the Grandbabies!! I love to review things that center around them. SO why not make an edible centerpiece for Easter with Grandbabies in mind?!?! The awesome people at Mrs. Cubbison’s sent a box with Mrs. Cubbison’s Stuffing and Crouton’s, an apron and a kitchen towel. The design on the apron and towel got me to thinking. I should incorporate chicks and eggs!! I have a pretty green serving dish which I put stuffing inside. A quick trip to Michael’s Craft store and I bought chick candy containers which I filled with Mrs. Cubbison’s stuffing. (3 for $1.99) Each chick is a single serving one per Grandkid!! I then formed a small handful of stuffing into an egg shape and browned in the oven for 15 minutes. I added the cute little chicks ($.99cents at Michaels) and how CUTE did this turn out?? My kids might tell me I have too much time on my hands but the Grandkids will think NaNa rocks!! I also…
Costume Discounters Minnie Mouse Review!
If you have been a reader of Peanut Butter and Whine for awhile you know just how obsessed I am about costumes! I don’t actually think of them as costumes I think of them as dress up play clothes. I would buy a new one every payday if I could! So when I was offered the chance to review a Minnie Mouse dress I jumped for joy!! Cheap kids Halloween costumes!! I am soooooo IN!!! Minnie Mouse is adorable!! The dress is pink and white. The pink is such a happy bright pink!! The whole costume is vibrant!! The white dots have just a little sparkle to them that makes this dress SHINE!!! There are so many cute details that make this dress extra special. From the sparkly bow around the waist to the eyelet around the hem. The sleeves are cuffed with the same white sparkly material. There is a Minnie Mouse broach and a cute little sparkly collar. The dress closes in the back with 3 pieces of velcro. The mouse ears also come with the costume. The ears are attached to a headband and the bow is attached to the ears. The headband isn’t so tight it becomes…
Nissan and Habitat for Humanity!
You know how I love a good app! This one is pretty funny. I think it would be even more fun to have the kids help you! You’ll see what I mean when you go to Nissan Habitat for Humanity on Facebook Nissan launched this funny Facebook app to celebrate their partnership with Habitat for Humanity and to get people involved with their efforts to build sustainable homes for those in need. The interactive video experience lets you input commands that Nissan “builders” perform. Be sure and have the builder hide the pipe! That one is my favorite. The game, developed by one of Habitat’s major partners, Nissan, invites participants to have a little fun with the volunteers in a virtual Habitat build: type in a command, and the volunteers will do as you say. Like command an otherwise mild-mannered volunteer to smash windows, or, in one case, throw things (items are returned, mysteriously, by a giant penguin). I love the giant penguin!! (there are even hidden Easter Eggs!! AHHHH now you really want to go play huh??) This is all a lot of fun, but the purpose is significant: to support the building of green homes for deserving…

Updating My SEO Because Even the Internet Needs a Good Declutter If you’ve been poking around peanutbutterandwhine.com lately and thought, “Huh, something feels different,” congratulations. Your instincts are sharp and possibly paranormal. I’m deep in the process of updating my SEO. Not the glamorous kind of update where confetti falls and Google personally thanks me, but the gritty, behind-the-scenes kind where old posts get dusted off, links get refreshed, and keywords are gently coaxed into behaving better. Think less makeover montage, more haunted house cleanup. While revisiting early posts, I discovered something unsettling. Many of the original photos and videos have completely vanished. Not broken links. Not corrupted files. Gone. Poof.…
