I wanted to try something a little different for an after school snack this week, so I made my kiddos some Churro Cheerios™ Snacks, or Churrios as my son called them. It's a super simple recipe that is a riff on the old Hot Buttered Cheerios™ of the 80's. I'm bringin'em back, baby! I'm not even kidding when I say these only took about 5 minutes to cook up -- and barely longer than that for the fam to scarf them down. These are so stinkin' yummy!

Practical tips and tricks to Teaching Kids to Sew. It isn't as hard as it sounds and kids will love to learn to sew with these great teaching kids to sew
It has been a very long time since I have had the time to update my blog. I decided to make time a update it today with my chore chart. I have been using it for 3 days now and it works amazing!!! I have searched all over the internet for a good chore chart for my children. I finally decided that I should just make one myself. This has worked great for my children. I have listed the things that I want my children to be working on. The first one is just simple. If the kids use the restroom, flush the toilet and close the door they get a X in each square each time they do this without reminder.(We have a very interested 18mth old daughter that loves the toilet) So in this category each child can earn up to .03 cents. Your 1yr old can earn money here too. If they come tell you that they are poopy or wet then give them a X on the chart and this can be your first step to potty training. The next one is screaming. If the child screams they get an X a square each time this is done.This also goes for the hitting category. In these category the child will lose money. Cleaning up dishes category. This is simple, after a child eats a meal they simple put away their dishes and can earn .15 cents a day. If you have to pick up their dishes don't give them an X and they will be sure to remember next time. Your 1yr old can do this too, just pick them up to help them reach the sink. I have a random Helping category as I want my children to learn how to help each other. This could be something simple like helping a sibling clean the room, helping you do the dishes, etc. In this category they can earn .15 cents a day Get Dressed is the next category. The first square in getting dressed in the morning and the second is for putting on jammies. Have your 1yr old pick out her jammies so she can earn money too. They can earn .10 cents a day by doing this category. Making their bed will earn them .10 cents a day. They can earn .10 a day for helping here. Setting the Table in one that all your children can participate in, yes even your 1 yr old. The next one you may not struggle with and can change if you with but my two toddlers dont like to eat or try new things so we have Eatting Meals as a chore, as I am done forcing my children to eat.(my kids are very very small built children and really shouldn't miss a meal.) This has actually paid off, our kids eat their meals a try the veggies too. They can earn .30 a day My two older children don't need naps anymore so we have quiet time, this requires them to sit quietly for a movie(about 1hr 30min) while my 1yr old takes her nap. So your child can earn .25 a day. The last one is pick up your toys. I usually have them do this before daddy gets home and they get really excited to earn "a whole quarter" This is just my chore chart, you can adjust it in which ever way in comfortable to you. I used Excel to create this one but you can also use Word and make a table. I hope this helps you out. I know it helped me.

See my full disclosure policy here. As promised, here is the pattern and tutorial for the Rolled Sleeve Tee. The pattern is about a boy's size 6. The pattern pieces are fairly simple, so feel free to resize them to fit your little man. I just used one of my son's shirts as a guide to draft the pattern pieces. The sleeves can be left unrolled like a regular tee, or rolled and buttoned to give it something extra {or to keep sleeves out of all the dirt and mud that little boys like so much}. Perfect for lazy afternoons at home. Here it is paired with the skinny jeans I made to go with it. Want to make your own? Download the pattern here. In addition to the pattern pieces, you will need to cut out a collar piece measuring 2.5 x 6 inches. The measurements on the body and sleeve pieces are for a guide only. You may need to adjust them for the little guy you are making the shirt for. My son is long and thin. This pattern is for stretch knits only. Make sure to set your machine to a stitch that will stretch. With right sides together, stitch the upper front to a body piece. Do the same for the upper back and the other body piece. Fold the top piece up and press. With right sides together, stitch the front and back at ONE shoulder seam only. Fold the collar piece in half with right sides showing. Match the raw edges of the collar to the raw edges of the neckline and stitch through all three layers. You will have to stretch the collar to make it long enough for the neckline. Fold the collar up and press. With right sides together, stitch the other shoulder seam, including the collar. Layer two of the button hole pieces {I really don't know what they should be called} right sides together. One of the pieces should have the interfacing piece on the wrong side {not shown}. Stitch along the long sides and the pointed end, leaving the flat end open. Clip corners. Turn right side out and press. Top stitch along the edges. Add a button hole to each end. Hem the sleeve pieces. Trim off the end of the button hole piece. You can turn the ends inside if you want a neater look, but it doesn't show, so I just left it open. Pin the button hole piece to the wrong side of the sleeve fabric, about 7 inches from the top of the shoulder curve. You can adjust this based on how high you want the sleeve to roll up. Stitch the button hole piece to the sleeve. I stitched a square and then an X to stabilize it. Sew a button to the outside of each sleeve, right on top of the X. Now attach the sleeves to the shirt. With right sides together, match the curve of the sleeve with the curve of the shoulder. This is what it will look like after both sleeves are attached. Stitch the shirt together up the arm seams and all the way down the side seams of the shirt. Turn right side out and hem the bottom. That's it! Please note: I provided this pattern as a service to my readers. Please do not resell or redistribute this pattern in any form. Thanks!
