Medicating Children

2010-09-07T14:33:00.003-04:00

Tens of thousands of preschoolers are prescribed powerful anti-psychotic drugs, but some psychiatrists say that pills are a simple solution to a complex problem.

this video made me sad. do you think that these kids are really psychotic...or are they just a product of their environment? what are your thoughts?

rainbow cupcakes

2010-07-21T01:41:00.007-04:00

have you ever tried making these? yesterday harper and rex both decided to nap at the same time (AMAZING!) so, i decided to use up the food coloring from the homemade playdough i made over the weekend.

this was so much fun and easy-peasy! the directions:

*mix up a box of white cake mix. preferably a recipe that uses egg whites and oil instead of butter (your colors will come out better and cupcakes will brown less.)
*divide batter into bowls

*add your food coloring. i used McCormick's neon pack for my pink, green, blue, and purple. then i mixed the neon pink with the yellow from the original pack to get my orange. this is really just a guestimate until you get the desired colors.

*line your muffin pan with cupcake wrappers. i used silver cupcake wrappers to make "surprise" cupcakes and white/clear wrappers for the rest of the cupcakes:

*using a fork or spoon drizzle each color on top of the next. i used forks because i found that it gave me more control. do not try to spread the colors out on your own (it will cause your colors to mix).

*purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink

bake (as directed on your cake mix-i baked about 21 min.) let cool and frost them if you like.

even the wrapper is pretty!

enjoy!
