Thursday: Family Inspiration Fun Day



Well the school year is coming to an end! I always tried to find something to make for the kids teachers it is fun for me and the kids! I haven't decided what craft I would like to do yet! But while I was searching I found some really cute ideas I'd thought I'd share. It has to be fun this time of year to be a teacher.. All the cool gifts they receive from students and not to mention the summer vacation ahead... I think I am leaning towards the colored pencil flower arrangement idea!(So cute)

Tuesday: What you can get for under 25$ day





I missed blogging yesterday because we had some issues with our Internet services... So today Is a mix of what I was going to talk about yesterday and it ties into today's topic also. I normally like to talk about inspiration on Monday because it's after a long weekend, church, family time etc... This weekend made me think about this book. I have a few years before I will go through teenage years with my kids. Its a very difficult time for some families, this is when the changes start to occur and the kids start to rebel a little or a lot because they want to be able to do whatever they want without being told what to do. This is also the time when the adult reminds themselves of some bad mistakes they had made and try to prevent there child from doing those same things. THIS causes some very serious conflicts and communication is the key when dealing with those kind of issues. You want to be able to connect with your child while there searching for themselves and dealing with some uneasy situations. I found this book at my local store a few weeks back and thought this would be a great gift to give to your daughter before middle school or right before high school so that you guys are able to communicate and hopefully have a easy transition during those teenage years. Here's some info about the book.....ONLY 16.00$

This book is a fun, fresh journal to help other moms and daughters get to know each other in a whole new way. Advice and thoughtful writing prompts pave the way to discussing everything from friends and school to crushes and growing up. Also includes pages for drawing pictures, making lists and plenty of free space for writing about whatever comes to mind. With perspectives from both generations this one-of-a-kind journal is sure to become a keepsake for any mother-daughter pair. Ages 10 and up.

Thursday: Family Inspiration Fun Day




Its becoming a trend that I end up writing about cute treats I would like to make with the kids or something I have already done.. So I think Thursday's theme will be Fun Treat Day... Since it is Strawberry Season and it is Picnic Season and a few Summer Parties are in the mix. I found these yummy, cute and fun strawberry snacks you can make with the kids. I think they will be so cute to decorate any table.. Move over Chocolate covered strawberries .. hello sparkle strawberries.. Just think of 4Th of July with red, white and blue strawberries or a cute picnic with rainbow colored strawberries.. I can go on with the endless color selections you can do with these and not to mention it's a healthy choice! Here's how you make them...

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

1 pint fresh strawberries

1/4 cup colored sugar

4 ounces softened cream cheese

2 teaspoons confectioners sugar

4 teaspoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Wash the whole berries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Fill a shallow bowl with colored sugar (you can buy this at the grocery store or mix your own by stirring two drops of food coloring into 1/4 cup of sugar).

In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, milk, and vanilla extract with a fork until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

Holding the berries by their stems, your kids can dip them into the cream cheese mixture, roll them in the sugar, and enjoy.
