The sporting event of the year is just a few days away - are you ready for kick off? Super Bowl XLIX is this Sunday and whether you're rooting for Seattle or New England, it's sure to be an exciting day. If yours is one of the many households throwing a Super Bowl party, we've got just what you need: a list of super fun snacks to serve during the game. Don't fumble with your menu; the treats below are sure to win big!
1. Footbowl - Jazz up your classic chips and dip by turning your dip bowl into a footbowl! Not only does it fit nicely with the theme of your get together, you can also eat the bowl (fewer dishes to do, more food to eat!).
2. Super Strawberries - How cute are these little guys! Fun and healthy, a great combination!
3. Oreo Football Helmets - Sweet, salty, and safe, this is one great snack! Put your favorite players' numbers and team colors to get even more creative.
4. Fruitbowl Helmet - Not every Super Bowl snack has to be high in calories. If you're sticking to your New Year's resolution to eat healthier (good for you!) try making this fruit helmet. Great taste, totally on theme, and no guilt - that's win, win, win.
5. Snack Stadium - Ok, this one is gigantic, but you can use this general idea to create your own. It's such a fun concept and lets you mix in lots of different munching options. We're sure it'll be a real crowd pleaser!

Hey parents, it's that special time of year again, the kids are heading back to school! But with all the excitement of a new school year comes the stress of preparing your little ones for another successful year. Of course, the'll need the usual supplies, but what could make this transition a touch simpler on you? Well...check out our quick list below!
1. The Organization Board
If you don't have one already, get one! Whether it's a cork board, white board, chalk, etc., this organized command center will help out the whole family. Dinner plans, chore lists, important phone numbers, put 'em all there and you'll be forever grateful.
2. The Homework Station
Whether it's in their rooms, at the dining room table, or in your home office, the kids need a designated homework station. This space will become part of their routine, and will include all homework essentials (laptop, pencils, dictionary, etc.). If you don't have one already, talk to the kids about where they would like to do their work, this way they can be a part of putting their workspace together.
3. The Snacks
Of course, we don't expect you to spend hours in the kitchen preparing snacks for school, but it's always nice to explore a few new recipes. Take some time and dig through fun cooking websites like www.snapguide.com or www.foodgawker.com. This little web crawl could be a fun activity to do with the whole family. Get everyone excited about cooking and eating healthy!
Here's one of our favorite recipes...
4. The Kids' Closets
Before you do your back to school shopping STOP and go through the closets with your kids, do a little organizing and purging. You'll be sure to find some long lost treasures!
5. The Labeling
This task is very simple. Before your kids step foot in the school, LABEL EVERYTHING! Label with a permanent marker, stickers, tape, or iron on labels...whatever medium works best for the item.
6. The 'Goodbye Summer' Party
After you've completed all of the above, have a little fun. Throw a 'Goodbye Summer' party in your yard. This doesn't have to be too fussy, a little salad bar, some chips and salsa, and maybe some homemade popsicles! Invite friends and family, play some music, and have a hula hoop contest. While it may not seem like much, the kids will truly appreciate this final summer jam.
A Parent's Back-to-School Checklist
If you don't have one already, get one! Whether it's a cork board, white board, chalk, etc., this organized command center will help out the whole family. Dinner plans, chore lists, important phone numbers, put 'em all there and you'll be forever grateful.
