Trolls Inspired Headbands

When your daughter's class is doing a Wacky Wednesday, you do whatever it takes to make her look wacky!! Backwards shirt, mismatch pants, skirt over pants, mismatching socks, and of course her headband!! Gianna loves her curls, so she insisted on wearing her hair down. I asked her after bath if she wanted silly pigtails or a crazy hairdo, but when she said she wanted something "MORE WACKY MOMMY!!" I knew what I had to do!. So, I pulled out my craft boxes and got crafting!! I had seen adorable Trolls headbands on Pinterest a few months back, and of course I had all of the supplies, so why not?

I pulled out some tulle, felt, my FABULOUS hot glue gun and got to work!! I let Gianna pick the colors of tulle and felt. I tried using just a hair tie to keep the tulle standing up, but found that it quickly leaned over when she moved. I added the flowers at the corners to keep it from flopping over.

To make this a little more educational, I taught Gianna how to measure. She learned about inch, 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch measurements. She had fun trying to figure out which measurement we were at while I pulled the tulle.  As we made this, we of course sang our Rainbow song, naming the colors of the rainbow. She has already asked to make one that looks like I rainbow!! Tommy has his request in as well... he wants to look like a dinosaur... GOOD LUCK TO ME!

Easter Party Time!

Easter is one of my absolute favorite holidays! I mean, who doesn't love a bunny butt??? How adorable are these cupcakes I made for Gianna's class. I have seen these on pinterest for years and always though "Wow, these are cute, but how long will it take to make all the little details!" Well, my friends, WILTON did it for us!! I found the kits with everything needed to make these adorable cupcakes. I enjoyed baking funfetti and strawberry cupcakes (I usually make everything from scratch, but it's been a super busy time these last few weeks) to create these adorable treats for the Easter party.

While it started out that I only needed to bake a treat for Tommy's class, Gianna asked so she received, OF COURSE!! I realized it's my last preschool party for her and I could not bake when she asked.  For Tommy, he insisted on Peeps cupcakes so I made his little dream a reality with these cute cupcakes.  I found edible grass, which has very minimal taste, but looks super cute! Add a Robin's Egg candy and call it a day!! Super cute and easy is always the best!

Finally, my friend and I created these adorable centerpieces for the Easter party. We decided to mix a few ideas we saw together to create these adorable and personalized centerpieces. We simply put some grass, two peep bunnies, and candy eggs into mini mason jars. My friend cut out paper to go on under the lid and we wrote their names on top. After, we embellished the tops with ribbon we hot glued on. I can't wait for the kids, and parents, to see these adorable treats tomorrow at the party!!
