Give it to me, did you love Monsters University as much as I did? I seriously love kid movies and Pixar hits a home run each time with their flicks. My hubby and I are always excited to take the kids out for a family date (with popcorn and drinks, of course!) to see the newest ones and MU didn’t disappoint!
We had planned a family date last weekend to see so so I experimented ahead of time and made an easy Mike Wasowski monster cookie recipe:
Mike is so cute as a little guy and it was fun to see his enthusiasm as a kiddo in this movie. I love how cute these monster cookies are and since it’s a simple recipe, I’m going to let the pictures do the talking:
Did the monsters explain it well enough? (;
Soooo, I used a cookie mix ’cause I’m a cheater like that. Oh, and purchased store-bought frosting since it was a just a buck and I didn’t want to spend additional time messing up even more bowls. The eyeballs are in the wedding aisle at Michael’s with all of the Wilton products. While the cookies are baking, just mix up bright frosting colors for additional monsters, spread it on your cooled cookies, add a giant eyeball.
Now say hello to some new edible friends:
Enjoy!

What a great story–and great cookies too 🙂 I’d say my dream is that I’d love to finish college some day. But I wouldn’t trade a single thing that “kept” me from getting my degree…so even if it never happens, I’m living the dream-life now by the husband and kids that I have.

Mami2jcn says
After my parents divorced when I was 6, I had to leave the US to live in South America with my mother. During the 2 years I lived there, I completely forgot how to speak English. I returned to the US and had to go back to school, absolutely terrified because I didn’t understand a word that anyone was saying to me. But I worked hard to regain my language skills and believed I would catch up. Two years later I won the award for top English student in my grade. This was my dream come true. The boy who won the Math and Science awards that year went on to Harvard years later, so those awards were very prestigious. No matter how unattainable a goal seems, you can’t ever give up.

I think what I like best about Pixar movies is their layers of storytelling. For example MU was deemed ok by my 13 & 15 yr. old boys. However, my husband,17 old son and I loved it.
My 17 old is looking at college and where he will fit in once he gets on his path. We loved the plot about Sully, (his selfishness, indulgence & using monsters to get what he wants – not really a team player) his character, not really a stand up monster or friend, but later striving for that, being remorseful and asking for forgiveness. Character qualities parents want in their children and themselves!
Thumbs up Awesome Movie!!

Robin Wilson says
I always wanted to be a teacher. Two weeks before I graduated high school life through me a curve and I was diagnosed with Lupus. I wasn’t able to go to college then or later, but as a wife and mom (a dream I didn’t even know I had until it happened) I have fulfilled that dream. I “teach”, though it may be life lessons, without a degree.

I have to admit, I wasn’t that interested in seeing Monsters University, but I am so glad I did! It was great and had a powerful message.
I believed in myself when I met and married my husband and moved pretty far from my large immediate family.

That is TOUGH, Alysia! I moved away from mine too. Hope you get lots of trips back home! (;

I always wanted to be a writer, but didn’t have enough confidence in my writing to risk being rejected. After reading about other writers who were rejected numerous times (like J.K. Rowling), I finally started submitting my writing, and so far I’ve been published in anthologies four times! Time to get that novel going! 😉
