Veterinarian – Career Day Idea

Career Day came up for my daughter and she wanted to be a Veterinarian.  I wasn’t sure how to pull that off at 1st with out her looking like a regular doctor. I used my sons real stethoscope he has from his science kit. The jacket we found on clearance after Halloween.  So with those…

Bedtime Passes

I got this idea from The Creative Homemaker. Chad cut these passes out of wood and painted. I used the Silhouette to add the name and bedtime pass on it. Easy Project!! However after we did all that work- we found that our local craft store sold the wood door signs very inexpensively. WHOOPS. At…

Kids Foodie Face Plates

For Birthday and Christmas gifts– I loved making these plates. I ordered a kit from HERE.  You draw on the papers they send to you- and decorate with your own washable markers and mail it in. These plates are amazing!! They are not porcelain so they do not break if your kids drop it. They…

How I made fondant Carrots

I have never made fondant before. So many recipes out there. This one I sorta just winged it. So there really isn’t a recipe for you but I can show you how it is done. Also homemade fondant taste SOOOO much better. I really don’t like the other stuff. This is the only marshmallows I…

Easter eggs for our tree

We just have 2 branches stuck in a bucket as a tree and wanted to add some Easter eggs to it. I have seen many where folks hot glue ribbon to hang them. However I noticed the eggs I got from Target have holes. I threaded a large needle with some bakers twine. Ran it…

Earth Day Cupcakes

HAPPY EARTH DAY!! Made cupcakes last night with my kidlets. Nothing major but thought they were cute.  Simply used a boxed cake mix. Divided it in 2 and dyed it blue and green. Then we used both silicone and paper cups. We were trying out the silicone for the 1st time. It was neat to…

Earth Day Water Bottles (File included)
