Happiness is . . . Smoking a Pipe and Mud Pies

I don’t know about smoking a pipe but we did have Popeye cigarettes when we were little. We definitely made lots of mud pies.

I remember spending many hours in the summer out back with my sister making mud pies and digging to China.

My daughters didn’t make many mud pies because we lived in an apartment for most of their childhood. Mind you they did get a chance to experiment with it a bit at their cousin’s house.

Baby Cakes and Honey Bunny making mud soup with a hint of grass.

Now my granddaughters thoroughly enjoy a good mud pie, mud soup, mud cake, a mud anything.


There’s always someplace in the yard that is good for digging up. I like a nice lawn but I have my priorities – such as a good old fashioned mudfest. 

My girls can spend hours creating all sorts of concoctions which of course they bring to me. Grandma is always ready to gobble up the chefs' specialty. Mmmm. Yum. Yum.

Mud pies are amazing and loads of fun every year I sit down in the yard, and make mud pies with my kids... Never too old to play in the mud

Hi Kimbra, Mud pies are definitely amazing and fun. Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit. Hope to see you again soon.
I love the mud pie memories. I love making memories with my grandchildren. I want them to smile when they think of me. I know yours will when they think of you.

Yep, I love spending time with my grandchildren and making fond memories. Thanks for stopping by.
Mudpies are the best! I still love playing in the mud, with or without the children! But you're right, the memories or childhood play far exceed the memories of a perfect lawn.

Hi Cole, mud pies are the best. I need to get more outdoor toys for next summer. I tossed a lot in the move. It was time for some new ones anyway.
This post is lovely! Brings back such wonderful and fun filled memories.

Hi Bonnie, How's it going. I love your blog.
Oh my goodness...I so remember those days of making mud pies. My kids didn't get into making mud pies. I tried it with them one day and they thought it was disgusting. Your grandkids seem to be having so much fun in the pic....

My granddaughters love making mud pies. When they weren't in the pool during the summer, they are playing in the mud. LOL
