Have you heard of My Town Rocks? Are you on any Facebook community pages like “Tallahassee Rocks” or “Arlington & Alexandria Rocks?”… and what is rocking hunting all about anyways?

Rock hunting is the newest community adventure since Pokemon Go. Search your local town and area for rocks hidden by citizens just like you. Join local community boards to see places where rocks might be hidden and discover areas of your town, you might otherwise not be familiar with. Paint rocks to “hide” around your town and surrounding area to spread joy and brighten people’s day. Come join us! Creativity can be found in all ages and the excitement of a group can encourage everyone to explore the beautiful area you live in. “Rock” your local parks and public areas, and encouraging friends and families to explore!

Today we came up with a fun Rock Dot Painting Pattern, but we think this Rock Painting Idea looks a lot like fireworks, don’t you agree!? Below we also shared other Rock Project Ideas for Kids. Not that this has to be said on this site, but we suggest keeping your artwork G or PG as a lot of children like to participate in rock hunting. Happy creating and hunting!

Rock Painting Supplies:

Rocks (the size is up to you)
Clear Krylon Polyurethane spray paint (or Mod Podge)
Acrylic Paint
Wooden kabob skewers
Foam paint brush

Directions:

Let’s get started painting rocks.

Lay scrap newspaper down or paper plates, it makes clean up a lot easier.
Squirt a small amount of each color paint onto you plate.
Pant each rock a solid color (black is my favor as a base) and let dry.
Dip the pointy end of your kabob into your desired paint and carefully dot it onto the rock, the center dot of each flower should be the biggest.
Wipe the end of the kabob off and switch colors making several small dots in flower and star shapes covering the top of the rock.
Let your painted rocks dry and then bring them outside and spray a coat of your clear spray paint on them.
This Krylon polyurethane dries in as little as 15 minutes, but I like to let it sit 30 to be safe. (If using mod podge, do it at this step but let it dry over night.)
Of course kindness rocks too. Have fun hiding your rock in your local community!

With only a few minutes prep, you can create these Beach Party individual pudding cups. Using teddy grahams, graham crackers and a few candies, you have adorable kids’ pool party snacks for a birthday, beach vacation or even a class party.

Beach Scene Vanilla Pudding Cups

These tasty treats are almost too cute to eat. Turn a vanilla pudding cup into a beach scene complete with a circle float, umbrella and bear laying on a towel above the beach sand. While these snacks are the embodiment of sand and surf, they are best served at a beach themed party or at a pool party as they would not go well with wind and sand.

What kind of food do you serve at a pool party?

For a pool party, you will find most of your guests snacking. While it’s nice to serve things like hamburgers, hotdogs or even pizza, make sure that you have a good selection of individual pool party snacks. That way people can eat on the go or as the sun and water develops their hunger.

Consider the following kid-friendly pool party snacks…

Beach Themed Snacks

The end of school is quickly approaching and if you are looking for an EASY last day of school snack, summer party idea, or something fun for a beach-themed celebration try out these Beach Scene Vanilla Pudding Cups.

Ingredients:

We used Snack Pack Vanilla Pudding Cups, make sure you have one pudding up per child/serving. Follow with one Teddy Graham, Life Saver, Air Head Extreme and Umbrella to perfect your individualized beach scene!

Snack Pack Vanilla Pudding Cups
Crushed graham crackers
Airhead Extreme Bites
Life Saver Gummies
Honey Teddy Graham’s
Drink Umbrellas

Where do I find Cocktail Umbrellas?

There are a number of places to find small drink umbrellas. I would recommend hitting the Dollar Tree first, but also look on Amazon, Target or at your local party store.

Directions:

First Take the tops off of your pudding cups and fill to the top with your crushed graham crackers to look like sand.

Place a Teddy Graham onto an Airhead extreme and place onto the “sand.”

Stick your umbrella into the sand with a gummy life saver next to it.

Serve with a spoon and enjoy these cute little beach treats!

Can I make these the night before?

If you want to prep your beach themed party snacks the day before, prep the topping ingredients. Go ahead and set aside the number of pudding cups you need. Crush your graham crackers and store in an air tight container. Count out your number of umbrellas and peices of candy. For 30 beach snacks, it should take no more than 10 minutes prep.

Air Fryer Cheat Sheet

I have emphasized in almost every post on this blog my need to find hacks in the most every day situation. I hate digging for recipes, the only thing that organized my family was a printable family command center in one place, and I am constantly chasing busy mom hacks for my family of seven. If you want to hang with me and follow these mom hacks and tips, take a look at this newest helper – the Air Fryer Cheat Sheet cooking chart.

What is an Air Fryer

First… Ashley, what is an air fryer? While air fryer ovens have been around for awhile, I too was like – what is an air fryer? It wasn’t until a few years ago that this product became coveted by myself and many American families.

An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that cooks food while circulating hot air similar to a convection oven. A mechanical fan circulates the hot air around the food at high speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy brown layer. Despite the misleading word fry, there is no frying involved in an air fryer. When air frying, there is no need to add oil, which makes it healthier for your family.

You can see some of our Easy Air Fryer Recipes for Beginners.

Is an Air Fryer Worth It?

There are many Air fryer benefits for your family. First the air fryer is a small appliance that can be stored in your kitchen cabinets or pantry. Easy clean up.

There are air frying health benefits. An air fryer oven produces low fat entrees and sides. The air fryer appliance uses hot-air circulation cooking your your food from all angles with no oil needed! Lastly, you remove that unwanted aroma from your home that is often produced with deep frying food.

Do I need an Air Fryer?

You do not necessarily need an air fryer. You can produce similar outcomes on your dinner entrees and low-fat sides if you use a convection oven. However, many homes are not equip with a convection oven and replacing your kitchen oven can be quite costly. Some people use Toaster Ovens but a toaster oven will not feed a family of four – there is limited space or volume!

Amazon Best Seller Air Fryer

These are the Amazon Best Seller Air Fryers.

First, COSORI Air Fryer,Max XL is a 5.8 Quart Air Fryer.

For my family, that was a bit too small. The largest air fryer is the GoWISE USA Deluxe 12.7 Quart Air Fryer. It also is a Rotisserie and Dehydrator. You will pay for those extra features.

You might want to settle for the Ultrean 8.5 Quart Air Fryer for easy storage.

Air Fryer Cheat Sheet Printable

If your family is looking to add healthier dinners to your weekly menu plan, an air fryer is of course a very helpful kitchen appliance. Being a busy mom and needing all the mom tips and tricks I can get, I bring to you the Air Fryer Cheat Sheet Printable.

I keep a copy of this Air Fryer Cook Times Cheat Sheet in my Recipe Binder. (Another suggestion would be to laminate this cooking chart sheet and keep it beside your air fryer for times and temperatures. Laminating this air fryer tip guide will keep it clean and easy to wipe.)
