Fun easy Easter treats to make with kids

by

This is a fun, and easy Easter treat to make with your kids, even toddlers!  As you can probably tell because my child made the ones below!  Simply dip into icing (put in microwave for about 15 seconds) then dip into sprinkles and set aside to dry.  It really is that easy!  The only items needed are:

  • Peeps (multiple colors)
  • Sprinkles (the more the merrier)
  • Icing (any color you choose)

DSCN2018

No baking required, no chopping, no prep, just dip and let dry.  You may choose to use melting chocolates instead of icing, I have done both ways and feel the icing is easier than the melting chocolates.  There are tons of things you can do with your peeps once decorated.  Put on a stick and hand out to friends, which is what we will be doing for my son’s class tomorrow.  It is hard to find something for my son’s class… one child is gluten-free, another nut allergy, another no dairy, and another child who doesn’t celebrate holidays.  Usually if I can’t make all 4 happen I will bring something else for those kids so they don’t feel left out.

 Happy Easter!

Ergobaby new 360 carrier review and more!

by

This post is written by me on behalf of Liz Lange and Ergobaby.  Product was provided.

Baby Bloggy Bootcamp was a few weeks ago and I got the privilege of attending and learning about the hottest newest baby products out on the market. They were demonstrating new baby products that are about to hit the shelves. I love the new stuff from Ergobaby and Liz Lange Maternity. I was so excited to see the new products Ergo had and the new fashions of Liz Lange.

DSCN1958

Ergobaby was demonstrating their new carrier the Ergo 360.  I was excited to see all the new upgrades.  I have used the Original Ergo for several years and loved it. It was used daily for 3 years and still looks brand new, so I know what quality to expect. The Ergo 360 has added features, such as a wider back belt waistband that Velcro’s and now has forward facing ability. I know forward facing has it’s dangers to the childs hips, but somehow Ergo has solved this problem.  Baby actually sits in the Ergo instead of dangling as other front carriers tend to do.  The baby’s knees are still above their bottom as they are facing inward. The new added features makes babywearing a lot more comfortable. I was so excited to use the new Ergo 360, my husband, baby and I headed to the local vineyard for a tour to test out the new carrier.

Ergo also demoed their Ergobaby Wrap.  The fabric on the wrap is incomparable to other baby wraps out there. It’s soft, comfortable, and the wrap keeps baby close to your body and your heart.

I also got to check out the newest from Liz Lange. Liz Lange Maternity offers comfortable maternity fashion at affordable prices.  The dresses are so velvety soft, feels like pure luxury.  Their maxi dresses are figure flattering and feels like pajamas. It almost make me want to get pregnant again, almost.

What is your Disney side?

by

images-2We love Disney!  But then again who doesn’t love Disney?  We love Disney so much we were asked to host a party to show our Disney Side, and it was so fun!  We planned a party for my niece who was turning 5 and had a princess (for the girls) and mickey mouse (for the boys) party!  The kids loved the snacks from craisins especially because Mickey Mouse was on them!

images-3

To go with our Disney Side theme we made colorful fruit skewers for the kids to enjoy!  When ever something is colorful I feel like kids are more likely to start munching on it.  We added two blueberries, two purple grapes, a raspberry, a tangerine slice, pineapple, and two green grapes.  The fruit skewers were gone before I knew it!  I wish I had made more, because I turned around and the kids had eaten them all up!

I have showed you the healthy snacks we served and I’m not going to lie we also had a candy table.  What kid doesn’t love a candy table?  The theme for our candy table was more the princess theme with purple and pink being the major colors.  The candy table was put off to the side so kids didn’t see it right when they walked in.  I told every child they could take a small bag of candy home with them if their parents would let them.  I think the parents may have enjoyed the candy table more than the children!

candy table

Some of the fun games we played were pin the tiara on the princess, and pin Mickey’s ears on Mickey!  It was very cute to see the little girls line up to see who could pin the tiara closest!  The little girls took the game a lot more serious than the boys.  The boys would take off the eye mask and just laugh, just little boys acting like boys!

We loved sharing our Disney Side with our guests and with you.  How do you show your Disney Side?
