Whistles and Food Art

There are so many experiences that I cherish from my childhood. Visiting my cousin's in Tulare,Ca during the summer. Riding bikes, chasing lizards, climbing trees, and waking up to the smell of fresh biscuits that I later smothered in my great aunt's homemade jelly.

Although I managed to knock cans over with my cousins slingshot I was never able to master the art of whistling. It seems like such a small thing, but I have always wanted to whistle. I have tried in vain most of my adult life to whistle. Foolishly pursing my lips together, moving my tongue to the perfect position only to blow soundless air every time.

Something amazing happened today however, I WHISTLED! I was so surprised by myself that I whistled for a full minute. I really needed to use the restroom and had been holding it for a while, because I was on a call (TMI, I know). When I was able to finally run to the bathroom and go, I let out a puff of air in relief. Turns out the secret to whistling all the years was holding my pee. LOL

In honor of accomplishing a personal childhood dream I give you some kid friendly food art fun! I look forward to being able to provide fun food art for my children in the future. But in the meantime I am lucky enough to have the greatest niece who just happens to be the cutest little taste tester around.

Banana Bear Toast
All you need is an Eggo waffle, a banana, smear of peanut butter, raisins, and a hungry 17 month old!

Grilled Cheese Chicks and Strawberries
I used a spring time cookie cutter from target for the chickens.
