I want to wish you and your families a happy and joyous holiday.

I will be on break from blogging for the next couple of days while I enjoy the Christmas holiday with family and friends. Remember to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas with your kids and they'll appreciate their presents all the more!

WFMW: 5 Ingredients or Less Weight Watcher Recipes

Frozen Peanut Butter Cups

Yields: 12 servings 2 points per serving

Ingredients:
1 8oz tub of Cool Whip Free Whipped Topping
1/3 cup Reduced Fat Peanut Butter **
Hershey's Lite Chocolate Syrup

Directions:
Whisk 1 cup of the cool whip with the peanut butter and mix thoroughly. Fold in the remaining cool whip. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper/foil liners. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoon of the mixture into each of the 12 muffin liners. Top each with 1 teaspoon of the chocolate syrup - cover the cool whip/peanut butter mixture. Freeze! Once frozen, ENJOY!!

**If you can find Better 'n Peanut Butter, you can substitute for lower WW point value. I purchase mine at Trader Joe's.

Crafts for Kids

As the school year winds down (3 more days left), I am looking for new ideas for teacher gifts. My son prefers to make something for his teacher rather than buying her a gift. Works for me! On another blog, I had read a post from a teacher that says she has more candles than she will ever use. She even mentioned preferring handmade gifts even if it's a drawing and she's able to save them and share them down the road.

There are two websites that I would like to share with you.

Family Fun - no matter what the holiday or season, you can always find ideas on this website. We are also looking for Father's Day ideas too.
Note: They also have a magazine that has lots of ideas in it. I'm not sure if everything is online or not. The one item that I made over the weekend out of the magazine - I couldn't find online to send to a friend.

Ramblings of a Crazy Woman - She has many, many crafts that she has made with her kids. They are very cute!
