First, I want to say thank you for all the great chocolate chip cookie recipes you guys suggested! Here are 3 winners for future reference:
- Nestle’s Toll House
- Neiman Marcus Urban Legend (Mom D emailed me this one)
- Heavenly Chocolate Chunk
They all sound delicious, and I might just have to test each one. You know, to review and such. :)
So last night I realized that I never told you all about this review of sorts that Evan and I did together for a column at Movie Zeal. It’s pretty silly, but that’s the charm of it. And believe me, I’m not into horror films. At. All.
I’m into cute things. Like blocks covered in pictures from old children’s books. (Nice segue, huh?) Anyway, I stumbled across this tutorial from Martha and literally jumped up to go make some. Has anything ever inspired you in that way? Please share!
I used some of Emily’s blocks and an old Scuffy the Tugboat book that was otherwise deteriorating as quickly as possible. And I didn’t do any of the fancy painting or decorative edging. Easy peasy.

I loooovvvveee the blocks!
I also read your review (which was quite enjoyable, although I will probably stay way from the film)…..I loathe the day that I will have clean poop off something other than my child’s backside. If you have any wisdom on how to prevent (or delay) that from happening please share.

Omigosh these are sooo cool. I realize I’m out of the demographic for these, but wow. So cool. I wonder if a variation of these or this idea could sell at the store on Brookside? And what a cool gift to give someone!

The bricks are so cool. They remind me of the ones I had as a child with a puzzle on each side. I’ll have to remember this idea when I have kids.
