Apple Picks

Definitely not the most diet-friendly, but these Chubby Hubby Cookies from Cassie Craves sound delicious!  A cookie version of that amazing Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream flavor!

I’ve already gone back to review this post at Simple Mom several times: 4 Parenting Strategies for Busy Days.  2 1/2 is a very trying age!

These letter blocks from NewlyWoodwards are yet another home decor DIY project to add to my long, long list.

Homebody Holly questions whether Pottery Barn (one of my favorites!) has been copying home decor bloggers with some of the items in their latest catalog.

I’ve tackled Homemade Apple Fritters (the most popular recipe on my blog!), but I’ve always felt that glazed donuts were best left to the donut professionals.  I may try Pioneer Woman’s recipe for Homemade Glazed Donuts some day soon when I’m feeling extra-brave!

Teach Mama has a great roundup of ideas for indoor fun with kids.  We had a week of rain and cold last week, and I know many of you were (are?) stuck inside with all of that snow.  Hopefully you can find some good ideas here!

I am SO intrigued by this Coconut Chicken Chili from Noble Pig!  I’ll be adding this to our menu sometime soon.

I recently discovered Knock Off Wood, an amazing blog that shows you how to build your own Pottery Barn, Land of Nod, and Restoration Hardware furniture.  The Picky Apple has been wanting to try his hand at building stuff, so I’m hoping he’ll start with this Toddler Farmhouse Bed for The Littlest Apple (though not in pink).
