Pizza Tour #1- Brix- "Get Sauced" Review

My family took me to Brix for Mother's Day! I have been wanting to try a few different pizza joints in the Quad Cities so we went to Moline, Illinois and tried Brix first.

We did order the cheese bread for an appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised with the huge tomato and spinach on each piece. The appetizer might have been my favorite part of the meal. My kids of course took the best part of and ate just the bread... so I had a few extra bites of the cheese, spinach, and tomato!

Brix has a tagline of "get sauced" and it was very clear after my first bite that there was a lot of sauce. I first tried the Tuscan pizza and the flavor of the sauce was very similar to a spinach and artichoke dip. They were right there was plenty of sauce on it, but the sauce was a bit to over powering for my taste buds. I liked the thin crust pizza as each pizza had a nice crunch but yet a good buttery flavor.

The second pizza we ordered was a chicken chipotle'. My husband like this one much more than me as well as our church intern. The kids did enjoy the pepporoni one as well!

The best part would be the wonderful Sunday special. Get any specialty 12'' pizza for only $6! So for the price and the unique flavor options I would go again especially on a SUNDAY for this special!

Another little feature I liked was the tall pizza trays for the table! They were classy and helped keep the table more free!

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray. They are a bit similar but yet different. Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1. Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2. Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid. Mix well. 3. Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4. Go have fun!!! This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week. I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general. I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry. I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes. :) Ready, Set, Go! Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly. I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos. Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you. This was a super easy one for those little hands. I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting. The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper. EASY, but they enjoyed it! :) It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge! :) I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
