12 Fun Ways to Use Marshmallow Peeps

Fun Ways to Use Marshmallow Peeps

Peeps Easter Candy is probably one of the first things you think of in terms of Easter and treats. I remember when they would only come out around Easter but now you see them in various forms around other holidays including Halloween and Christmas. And since most people can't leave well enough alone (and thank God they didn't!) Marshmallow Peeps have become a must have ingredient to have on hand around Easter because there are so many things you can do with them.  Me personally I have never been a huge fan of them but my girls LOVE them (in fact there is a yellow package of Marshmallow Easter Peeps staring me right in the eye as I type this!) and I know many of you do so I thought it would be neat to compile a round-up of 12 Fun Ways to Use Marshmallow Peeps. Now, a lot of stores still … [Read more...]

3 Easy Last Minute Easter Treats

April 7, 2012 by

Anytime we travel for the holidays I’m always tasked with bringing desserts since I don’t have to worry about anything going bad on the car ride down to Long Island. I don’t mind at all especially since I love baking and it gives me the chance to bake since I’ve been *trying* to refrain from it now that I’m on a weight loss journey. One day I’ll blog about that but I’m not quite ready yet. The journey is going well and “That’s all I got to say about that!”. Anyone know what movie that’s from? Anyway, I decided to make 3 treats to bring along to Easter at my parents but I’ll throw in 2 more for good measure! Up first was just some Easter Chocolate. Note to self, using a pastry bag is a MUCH easier way to fill a chocolate mold than a spoon. Just sayin’. Source: … [Read more...]

Easter Gift Ideas

April 4, 2012 by

Easter Baskets have sure come a long way, haven’t they? I remember as a child getting one of those plastic baskets with the really long handle. Anyone remember those? I’m pretty sure they are still around! And I remember getting a hollow chocolate bunny, some plastic grass, a few colored eggs and some loose jelly beans floating around in my basket and that was about it. I loved it though. That was pretty much standard and life was simpler then. :) Today, Easter Baskets have come a long way! Just this year alone I bought my girls things like Fun Dip, stickers, a marshmallow lolly pop and a few other treats. I did buy a plastic basket (different from the ones I used to get) and did use the same colored grass so some things haven’t changed too much.  Can’t blame me for wanting to … [Read more...]

Easter Subway Art

April 2, 2012 by

What would a holiday be around here without some subway art, right?? I created my first subway art last year for Easter and it came out okay but I wanted to create a new, better version. (AVAILABLE IN BLACK AND WHITE AND EASTER COLORS) As you know, I’m a Jesus lovin’ girl. Although I do the whole Easter Basket thing(I love any reason to spoil my kids with goodies!)  I never want this holiday to go by without acknowledging the whole reason why we celebrate. Without Jesus and His ultimate sacrifice for us and our sins, we’d be lost. I know I can’t thank Him enough for this amazing gift He’s given me. At times I find myself in awe of just how much He loves me, loves US really. I’m so undeserving. I fall short every. single. day. I fail Him. I fail my family. I say things I … [Read more...]

Adorable Easter Tote for the Little Girl in your Life

March 14, 2012 by

With Easter less than a month away, I decided that my girls, 8 and 5, need a little tote to take with them to church on Easter Sunday. I got these simple little totes from Mindy Mae’s Market and with a little fabric, glue, cabochans and bobby pins, I make it into the perfect girlie girl tote! Here is my before shot with all of the supplies (ignore the crap in the background of the photo ) Here is the after: Next week I will be sharing the tutorial on how I made the flower but all I did after making the it was hot glue the bobby pin to the back and slid it right onto the front of the tote.  Now my girls will have the option of taking it off and wearing it in their hair. xoxo, Diana Due to the amount of content that is used without permission and proper credit, I am no longer … [Read more...]

Resurrection Day Subway Art

April 23, 2011 by

Here's another free printable for any of your last minute Easter decorators. I'm a born again christian and while we do Easter Baskets and Easter Egg Hunts and all that fun stuff, I don't usually do the typical Easter Bunny decorations. For me the holiday is about the death, burial and resurrection of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. So, here's my take on Subway Art in honor of Resurrection Sunday. I did mine based on some of the names of Jesus. If you want to make your own, here's another idea that I think would look cool as Subway Art:Greatest man in history, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet he … [Read more...]

Last Minute Easter Craft – Notepad Printable

April 23, 2011 by

So, still no baby yet. Anyone tired of hearing me complain? lol With Easter tomorrow I realized that I did not have much time to get a basket together for my girls. Normally I do one for each of them but you should have seen me at CVS yesterday. lol I was pushing a disabled shopping cart (why do I always get the one with the bum wheel that has a mind of it's own?) and was all hunched over b/c my back was hurting and I just wanted to get out of there as fast as I could so I decided to do just one big one for the 2 of them to share. Of course, having 2 very competitive little girls, I just bought double of everything. I made it out of CVS pretty quickly but needed to stop at Office Depot to pick up a new wireless adapter and came across these cutie little clipboards for cheap. So I grabbed … [Read more...]
