Make your own cat toy!

The first time I saw these cat toys was at a craft show back in probably 2002. I was making a lot of my own natural bath & body products and working the craft show circuit to sell them. At every single show there was somebody selling these things. It wasn't always the same people though, I guess it's a popular item to make.

What always caught my eye though were the ones that would bring a big wire dog crate and put a cat inside. Those cats would play all day with those catnip toys. These toys are the perfect size and shape for them to hug and do that 'bunny kick' thing. They flip  on their back and just kick away at those catnip laced kitty sticks. Oh those cats had so much fun! 

Thinking back they were probably pretty buzzed up! lol Anyway, it's a simple toy so of course I figured out how to make kitty kick toys when I got home. My cats love them, and I know yours will too.

3 ingredient 'Homemade' donuts

This is one of my all time favorite breakfast recipes. I pull this one out whenever the kids have friends stay over or I get invited to a brunch. I think I saw it on the Pillsbury website a few years back. (can't remember for sure, but it makes sense!) It's one of those recipes that after you make it the first time, you'll make them by memory. These are super easy, taste more like donuts then you think, can be decorated any way you like and only take a few minutes to make. 
All you'll need are 3 things: 
  • a can of biscuits
  • some hot cooking oil
  • whatever you want to use for toppings. Canned icing rocks!
oh.....and you'll need about 5 minutes. It's so easy! I'll show you how...
