It’s hard to believe but we’ve been homeschooling for five weeks now and we are loving it. The days are longer than I anticipated (why did I have it in my mind that homeschool kids really only do half days??) but filled with nuggets of joy that I could never get with my kids in school. I instituted a prize box that has been beneficial for a number of reasons but mostly it just makes my kids happy. We also started doing popsicle Fridays. As a family, we feel very nostalgic about popsicles because our Florida neighbors would entertain us on their back porch for hours, handing out popsicles to my children on hot days. We miss them and their popsicles so much but it’s a tradition that we’ve brought with us to California. Cool fruit bars on a warm day make all of us smile so why not bring a little nostalgia and pizzazz on popsicles Fridays with these chocolate dipped fruit bars. Also, I think it counts as science. 🙂

We’ve stepped up our popsicle game quite a bit over the last year and have been loving the Whole Fruit fruit bars. It feels pretty great to serve a treat my kids’ love that I know is full of whole ingredients. For our “popsicle Fridays” treat I dipped our favorite fruit bars in a homemade chocolate and white chocolate magic shell topping with additional toppings like pecans and sprinkles.

The girls love the Whole Fruit strawberry bars best so I dipped them in chocolate with sprinkles.

I love the coconut bars the best – they are so creamy as is then dipped in chocolate they taste like a decadent dessert.

The chocolate magic shell topping is made from just two ingredients, chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet and white chocolate chips for two different magic shell toppings) and coconut oil. You simply heat the two ingredients in the microwave for 25 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals until the chocolate is completely melted. The magic shell topping hardens when it comes into contact with the cold popsicles creating a fun coating that crackles when you bite into it.

To add the additional toppings you sprinkle them on generously (of course) as soon as you dip the fruit bar into the chocolate. Be quick because the chocolate sets quickly!

This is such a fun treat that I can feel good about giving my kids. It’s also a small effort to create big memories for my kids and I’m all about that these days!

It’s been a whole year since my dining my room l It’s been a whole year since my dining my room looked like this. It’s been a long year, hasn’t it? This space is regularly filled with books and school supplies and two giggling girls. I don’t know if we ever go back to normal from here but there’s a lot from this time that I want to take with me in to the future. How about you?

My kids fight all day long but when the time comes My kids fight all day long but when the time comes for them to go to sleep they snuggle up in the same bed and it gives me allll the mama feels. It’s getting pretty tight on the top bunk with them squeezed into a twin but they never complain.

The dots on the wall are little decals for a faux wallpaper look. We love them. I linked them and everything else from the girls room on @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/3cpo9 #liketkit #LTKkids #howihome #bhgstylemaker #kidsspaces #militaryhousing #milspouse #howirent #rentaldecorating @liketoknow.it.home @liketoknow.it.family

My ideas do not always work out but this one did! My ideas do not always work out but this one did! I’m really proud of the way the canvas turned out. It was really fun to be creative in this way. I think this completely transformed our living room in such a great way. This is military base housing guys. Base housing. I almost don’t believe it myself... swipe to see the giant canvas we made before I painted it and our living room before!

Rudy turned 5 last month and I was reminded of how Rudy turned 5 last month and I was reminded of how crazy I was to get a puppy while v pregnant with Millie. Also, he wanted a permanent spot in the feed. Happy Saturday.
