Cut food into mini pumpkins for picky eaters on Halloween!

My kids love when I cut their food into shapes. I have a set of cutters from The Pampered Chef that I use for fruit, sandwiches, cheese, cookies- you can really be creative with it. I used it to make pumpkin shaped pancakes this morning for breakfast & Chloe cleared her plate which is unusual!! I also cut her peanut butter & jelly sandwich into pumpkins for her school lunch. This is a must have in my house! It may make for more work for me but it pays off when they actually eat!!!

Cute, healthy & a big hit with a picky eater!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Dont get rid of the pumpkins just yet- I laid out newspaper on our table & let the kids have some fun arts & crafts time!! I bought Crayola finger paint & some glitter sticks. With a little finishing touches from Grandma, they really came out cute!

Max hard at work!

Chloe enjoying herself!

Newspaper makes for easy clean up

How cute are these rainboots?

I bought these Crocs rainboots for my two year old son....not sure who likes them more!!! He wants to wear them every day- rain or shine!!!!

Guiliana Rancic from E! News also tweeted about these after purchasing them for her newphew!!

The Magic Eraser really is magic!

I was taking my kids on an outdoor photo shoot and didnt want to put new sneakers on my son- it rained the day before and I figured it would be muddy. I was wiping his Converse off with a baby wipe when from across the room I spotted the Magic Eraser! It cleaned them so well that they looked brand new! This is for sure a great mom tip that I am happy to pass on!
