St. Patty's Day Pins

Now that Valentine's Day is over its on to the next holiday of the year. Me being Irish and all I particularly love this holiday. Here are a few of the ideas that I found to do with the kids.

Clockwise from the top left- rainbow twizzlers and rolos for Aiden's classmates, rainbow pudding, leprechaun craft, rainbow paint drip pots, rainbow bath paint, button rainbow craft, pom pom rainbow, chocolate covered pretzels

Halloween Pins

I love Halloween. I love all holidays that I have an excuse to decorate, make awesome food and create fun crafts. Here are a few of the things that I want to try out for Halloween. I’m pretty confident that they will come out decently, but I will let you know in the end.

 Clockwise from top left- Glitter Pumpkins, Witch hat cupcakes, Glitter spider webs, popcorn hands            (though I will probably use Cheerios or puffs for these), Spider Lollipops, Glow-in-the-dark Cupcakes.

Fall Pins

,

With fall starting up there has been an influx of great fall décor ideas and with that come yummy fall food. That would be mostly desserts. And a lovely article on MSNBC covered the top 10 fall foods that will add to your waistline. A few of them being pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, creamy soups and lasagna. Stuff that gets eaten A LOT over the course of the fall and even into winter.  Here are a few of the things that have caught my eye for me to do this fall.

 Fall Dessert

(clockwise from top left- Pumpkin Layer Cake, Apple Pie Bread, Pumpkin Bread with Salted Caramel Drizzle, Apple Cider Caramel Cookies, Apple Brie Melts, Spiced Spice Kisses, Baked Apple with Cinnamon Streusel)

Little Holiday Crafts time

I was reading a blog of a fellow mom and she was talking about how she wishes she had more time to do some of the holiday crafts with her kids that she saw on other blogs and on Pinterest. And of course seeing a few of the things that she wanted to make made the crafty side of me come out. I'll admit that I have not taken full advantage of the 3 days a week that Aiden is home with me to do more crafting and drawing so today I decided that we would do something together while Rebecca was sleeping and she wouldn't get into everything either. Here is what we did today. I still need to add some final finishing touches so that we can put it up. Maybe a decorative frame with a red bow on it.

 Painting my hand for the first layer.

 Painting his hand for the second color.

 Adding in a third color just on his fingers.
