Are you pinterested?

Here are some of my favs:

William-Sonoma Smelling house.....simmer on stove:  2/3c water, 1 sliced lemon, few sprigs of rosemary, and 2 t vanilla....re-add water when needed...can get about 2 days and then you will need to add fresh ingredients.

Healthy (er) Sour patch grapes
from: puresugar.net

destem grapes; rinse and leave water on them, put a small amt of jello powder in a bowl and a handful of grapes; roll around and place in another bowl; repeat until you have how many you need.  Refrigerate for 2 hours.  Serve.....I thought these were good....I used Raspberry Fusion Jello....I wonder if there isn't a jello that has a little more sourness to it....maybe lemon or lime? 
I put them in the kids' lunch with a tooth pick.

Pizza Balls
from: penniesonaplatter.com

We all loved them....a spin on pizza...take pizza dough, squares of mozz., a pepperoni....stuff balls of dough with a cube of cheese and a slice of pepperoni...form into ball, put in greased cake pan....brush with butter or drizzle with olive oil (of course TS Roasted Garlic Oil is good) and sprinkle with parm. and Italian Seasoning (may I suggest TS's?) and bake.....dip in marinara

It's not all food.....

I also implemented this....I call them clutter baskets (or maybe declutter baskets)...each family member has their own basket on the steps and when you are trying to straighten up you sort out the clutter found and put it in each person's basket and then they have to clean out their basket. 

Or you could just teach your children to put things away when they are done with them in the first place and you wouldn't have the clutter prob. to begin with.  Hmmm....why didn't I do that?

Or sometimes I just find stuff that is way cool (in my opinion).....like this.....
