Sweetest School Support

Can you believe "back-to-school" time is here already? Now that I am no longer a teacher, I can join the other moms and dads and be ecstatic for this wonderful time of year!!

 As a little back to school treat I am making these candy bars for my daughter. They are encouraging and so sweet (hehe excuse the pun!). I found them over at Sugar to Designs and the printable is free.

Go ahead,sweeten up your little scholar's day. :) 

 Love and lots more free time, Kerry, the Momster 

Kiwis and Kids and Krafts

This is such a fantastic idea, that I wish I had come up with it! For busy moms, no need to stress about whether you are being creative enough, or doing enough arts and crafts with your kids, the wonderful people at KiwiCrate.com do it for you.

Each month you receive a box with all the supplies, materials and instructions for easy, exciting and enriching activities. Aimed at ages 3-7 yrs, many can be done alone, but they are so fun you will probably beg to participate. You can sign up for monthly deliveries ($19.95), or buy a gift for someone for just 1,3, or 6 months. And to add siblings it's just $7.99. Each project is designed with children's healthy development and learning in minds, and list the areas of growth such as: Creating, discovering, gross motor, fine motor, communicating and caring.This is the perfect gift for the child who has it all!

Summer Fun

My kiddies are a handful to entertain in the summer but this recipe for sidewalk paint was so easy, cheap and had them entertained for ages! Right after I plonked them in the bath and they were delighted by how the water turned colors too!

Recipe: 1 cup corstarch to 1 cup water, mixed with food colorings of your choice. Seperate into muffin tins.

Love and color,

Brownies and Bows

Presents are always acceptable, anytime, anywhere,for any occasion, and edible ones are just that little bit better. Here is an adorable idea I snagged from Family Fun magazine over the holidays that hits any girl's big 3:frilly,fashionable and full of chocolate!

How to make the bows:

I used starbursts, but you can use airheads or another gummy candy.

 

Divide the starburst in half, then divide one half in half again ( 3 parts). 

Roll into long bow.

Bend over into bow and stick the smaller piece over the top to seal it into a bow.

Voila!

Make Brownies from your favorite recipe or a box mix, then melt chocolate candy while they cool.

Dip the cooled brownies into the chocolate using a fork.

Place the bow on top while the chocolate is still wet.

Place on wax paper to dry.

Put in pretty boxes and send off for eating pleasure.

These  lil' girly gifts would make great treats for sisters, moms, kiddies, or co-workers for Valentines Day... or just make a whole lot of them for yourself JUST because they look so freaking cute!

Love and frills,
Kerry the Momster
