I came across this recipe the other morning and these are delicious!
Insanely Easy Muffins
Ingredients:
1 dark chocolate fudge or devils food cake mix
1 15 oz. can solid pack pumpkin
Mix the two ingredients together. The batter will be very thick. Pour into greased or lined muffin tin. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 12 – 15 muffins.
We like them best with devils food cake and a handful of chocolate chips. They are soooo moist & yummy!!

Tips I want to remember:
I know some of you live in an area where ants are tiny little insects that go about their business, but down here in the Lone Star State they are vicious, man-eating monsters! You learn to recognize the shriek that means your child has stepped in yet another fire ant bed. I’ve come across two fairly effective forms of relief: solid deodorant or a cut onion. Immediately rub the ant bites with either one & it significantly reduces the burning & swelling of the bite.
Head on over to Rocks In My Dryer for some really great tips.
Edited to add: I use a small deodorant sampler for ant bites; you probably don’t want to use your regular one on your kids’ feet – although desperate times call for desperate measures ;o)
WFMW ideas I want to remember:
Save $$$ from my IRL friend Jill
Wednesday Wash Wisdom great prize drawing & tips
This weeks WFMW is the “Mom, I’m Bored!” edition. I came across an idea in my Family Fun magazine that I want to try – Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag. It looks like so much fun! Head on over to Rocks In My Dryer for tons of entertaining ideas for your bored kids.
My 4 kids think they each need their own snack, but I hate to waste baggies or use bowls just for popcorn & pretzels. Instead, I use coffee filters as disposable bowls. They are easy for the younger ones to hold and my sink just might stay empty until dinnertime.
Head on over to Rocks In My Dryer for some super-dee-duper tips!
I decided to start adding my favorite WFMW ideas each week so I don’t have to clutter up my bookmark folder.
