The Boy's Store Blog — Sweet Treats

Are your kids already finished with school? We finish this week. This means that we will already be enjoying the slower pace of summertime. While mommy and daddy continue to work all summer and the kids go to day camp we try to maintain some sort of slower routine when it comes to summer. There is no homework and we continue our sports, but the days are longer and we have a little more time to enjoy them. One of the ways we like to celebrate the end of school is with a sweet treat. We love icees, frozen yogurt,...

Muddy Buddies scream childhood. I remember snacking on muddy buddies at birthday parties, school holiday parties, after a sports game, or at a playdate.

Baking is always a great way to celebrate any holiday. And when the recipe is as easy as this spooky s'mores bars, we are all in. For Halloween, we always try to do something sweet and unexpected as a treat for our classroom holiday party. We attend a small school where we see all of the same people over and over each year, so it is nice to have something new to look forward to every year such as a new holiday treat. This year we chose to create spooky s'mores bars for our holiday treat. These fun treats are...

We have officially been invited to our first outdoor party! Our dear friends purchased a new home over the winter and they are finally ready to have everyone over to celebrate! The kids are ready to enjoy the large backyard and the adults are ready to visit in the fresh air! In order to make it less formal and more about enjoying everyone's company in the nice weather, our hosts have chosen to make the party potluck. Everyone is bringing a little something to share. Our youngest host has even requested that each of the kids bring their favorite game to share....
