Heart Marshmallow Pops




I am so HaPpY with how these turned out! Super Easy and Super Cute!!


Supplies:
Heart Shaped Marshmallows (Walmart)
White Chocolate Chips
Lollipop Sticks
Misc Toppings
Sprinkles, M&Ms, Nerds, Melted Chocolate
Assemble the Marshmallows on the sticks. I played around with the arrangement. I found one down and one up worked best.



Next I melted the white chocolate, filled up a ziplock, snipped off the corner of the bag and drizzled away. I did the same with the milk chocolate on some and added the sprinkles.

So Good! And a BIG HIT with the Kiddos too!!



I used these as teacher treats...SUPER CUTE!!!

100 days of school!!



Tomorrow is the 100th day of second grade for Logan. The elementary schools make a big deal about it. Logan asked yesterday for something special in his lunch for the 100th day. I'm not really sure what he had in mind, probably 100 m&m's :) Instead I made him a lunchbox note that I think he will LOVE for a couple reasons. First, he loves money. Not for the obvious reason, to buy Legos. He likes to collect it, read about, quiz me about it. Right now he has two state quarter collections going on after he finished two with grandpa. Second, he's working on a report on Benjamin Franklin so since I don't have several hundred dollar bills laying around the house, he'll get a kick out of seeing this one.

Happy 100 days!! Maybe I need to start keeping track of my days of working out and then celebrate when I get to 100...or maybe just 10.

UPDATE: To celebrate the 100th day of school, Logan's teacher gave them a snack every 100 minutes. And she turned it into math problems figuring out how long til the next snack and at what time. He LOVED it!

Another Easy Valentine's Decoration on the CHEAP!!

I've LOVED seeing this quote on all sorts of signs, so I decided to make my own version with no $$.

Step 1. Type the quote. I played around with the fonts for a bit, trying to find a good combo. I used Robot Teacher & Teenage Girl 2. ( Not sure where I found those fonts but I know they were free because I've never paid for a font)

Step 2. Using yet another extra frame, I wrapped the back with some Valentine's gift wrap

Step 3. I outlined the LOVE with some glitter paint to add some dimension and sparkle.



Wrap it up with a bow! AND DONE!

Gotta Make this one too!

OK, so I think I need to rename this blog...."Stop procrastinating and pack Logan's lunch!"

Again, I've had my eye on this for a long time and I think it would be PERFECT for Caden. He always is asking "Where are we going today?" "And after that, where are we going?"

You can find the info here...BTW - the writer of this blog has a beautiful name! hehehe
You should check out the rest of her stuff! Great ideas!!!

Menus made easy

I've had my eye on these for a while now...I love the idea of having all the regular dinner ideas at your fingertips to try and eliminate the weekly..."what will I make for dinner this week?" chore. I also know that if I go back to work next year, I'm going to need to be much more organized...YIKES! This is the best one I've found so far! The step by step tutorial can be found here. By posting this, I hope to motivate myself to get this done!

♥Chalkboard Valentine♥

Love this idea!! Think I might have to give it a try! Thanks Martha :)
