Pacman Cookie Cake


We are not big cake people when it comes to birthdays around here. It's fun to make, the kids love blowing out the candles and the whole nine yards. It's just, it takes forever for the leftovers to be eaten in our house. Odd, I know. Cake just isn't our thing. So for the past few birthdays, we've tried some different approaches! For my birthday, the kids and my husband created a beautiful fruit cheesecake. Much more delectable than the standard box cakes! 

 For my three year old, we did make cupcakes, but they were in ice-cream cones, so we had no problem gobbling those right up! My husband requested an apple pie, super easy and gone that evening!  when my son asked for a Pacman cake I kept looking around Pinterest for ideas. Some were elaborate, some simple. I chose to stick with the latter! 

 All I did for the above cake was take a sugar cookie recipe and cooked it as a large cookie, on a pizza pan. I doubled the cook time, and it turned out perfect! Then, I found a simple butter cream frosting recipe, added yellow food coloring and voila! 

 The eyes and large game piece are fruit roll ups and the "points" are lemonheads I picked up from the dollar store.  Nothing to it and the kids loved it. Warning: it is dense and very sugary. Other than that it certainly can pass as a Pacman cake. The cookie concept seems to go over well in this house, more so than your typical birthday cake! A Pacman cookie cake. Simple and cute.

    Going to the mountains and seeing real snow when I was in elementary school. Being from the deep south, we didn't see snow very often. :-)

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too!    Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

  Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand!   (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
