Easter Egg Planter
When we made a trip to the local dollar store for supplies for our Easter Egg Door Decoration we picked up a few other supplies. You know when you have an idea so you buy a few supplies even when you are not sure if it will work out or not? That is what we did. This craft actually took about 10 minutes. We wanted to create something before school so we put this together. The girls were overly excited to help this time.
Supplies:
Rectangular planter
Rectangular foam
Rocks

Mini Easter Basket
A couple years ago, I believe it was, I saw a post where a pop top can was opened from the bottom. It was cleaned out, refilled and a label was put on the outside for a christmas neighbor gift. I can't remember where I saw it, but here is another example with the instructions on the can portion. With the beginning of an idea from my mom I decided to use one of these cans I still had stashed away to turn it into an Easter basket.
Supplies:
can (see link above for instructions)

Easter Egg Stitches
Last year I taught my Little Chefs how to stitch on a plastic canvas to make these fun Stitched Easter Eggs. I showed them how to do each stitch and then let them loose. They created these on their own. (Actually, I did thread and rethread the yarn over and over and over again as it was pulled out of the needle.) They did ALL of the stitching. This is why this piece of art was displayed in our home for a very long time. They were all extremely proud of their work!
Today I thought I'd share ...

Easter Linky Party
I love seeing all the new holiday posts. I thought it would be fun to create a dedicated linky party just for Easter. Anything Easter related is welcome. I will leave this party open until the beginning of May.
Thanks for joining and be sure to help spread the word.

Challenge: Shed 300 In 30 Days
The weather is getting warmer where we live but it always does this and then gets really cold one last time. I am trying not to be excited about the warmer weather yet. After a long winter I want to open the windows and air out the house, declutter and make things brighter and sunnier inside to reflect the outside. With now 5 Little Chefs we have a lot of stuff. Each person doesn't need to have a lot to collectively have a lot.
I do know it is a lot easier to keep things picked up with less ...
Saint Patrick Day FREE Wordart
My Little Chefs were out of school so we decided to take a little vacation...a much needed vacation. We went to California to spend some time at Disneyland and with family. Vacations are not totally relaxing when we have 5 kids and 2 being hard to handle. Amazingly it went better then I expected. The car ride was not bad. We tried a few different tricks for travelling. (interested in hearing them?) We stayed in a not so great hotel and a couple better ones. We had a few bad mornings at ...

Christmas Bingo
One of the things my Little Chefs love about Christmas is the lights and the decorations. We frequently take a new route home or go for a drive to see all the lights and decorations on homes. This year instead of just checking them out we decided to play Christmas Bingo! This is a great game to get everyone out of the house, yet still keep them contained and warm. You can warm up the car before everyone climbs in, or bring some extra blankets to put on your laps.
One of the things we like ...
Christmas Tags using the Cricut Mini
There are so many ways to dress up a present. We thought it would be fun to create a couple tags using the Cricut Mini. The Cricut has so many cartridges and options but we used the basic shapes that came free with the machine. We discovered the machine is easy for kids to use. They are able to visually see where the shape will be cut by reading the grid on the screen and on the mat.
For the first tag we cut out the first two shapes. The snowflake we cut out with a punch.
Next, Little Chef D ...
