So I tried to make a fondant decorated cake and here is my first quick attempt. I'm making a Dora cake in 2 weeks so that should be fun. It's really easy! Just marshmallows and icing sugar and some coloring. TADA!
This is our newest idea to have good kids. I decorated a box and the girls decorated their jars. Every morning they have 10 check marks on the board. If they don't listen or fight etc, they loss a check. Then before bed we count the checks and put that amount of pennies in a jar. They can't earn them back, but through out the day I'm trying to focus on positiveness so it's not all "oh, you lost a penny" kind of day. It's working out nicely so far, it's been about a week. And at the end of the day we don't say "oh well, you only have 5 pennies" we say "yeah, you get 5 pennies, great job!" When it's full they can go to the store (I'll use my card and put my pennies back for next time. So far so good!
