I have wanted to make simple cupcake liner flowers for a long time now. And I'm loving this method! These flowers are really easy to make and they look fantastic! It doesn't matter whether you use bold bright colours or the standard plain white cupcake liners, these flowers will look beautiful no matter what supplies you can round up at home! They look pretty on their own, or you can glue them onto a card for Mother's Day or Easter! I planted almost 300 spring bulbs in the fall. That's right … [Read more...]
Pom Pom Branches
Hi there! It's Megan from Homemade Ginger again. I'm excited to share a cheerful and springy craft today! Easter is a tricky holiday to decorate for, if you ask me. Where I live, it is usually cold and dreary on this holiday that is associated with spring. It's hard to get into the spring mood when there is often snow on the ground outside. In fact, my 4 year old daughter loved helping with this particular craft because she had to dig through snow to find branches to paint! But that is one … [Read more...]
How to Transfer ANY Image onto an Easter Egg
This post is sponsored by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. As always, the opinions are entirely my own. SING Special Edition is now available on Blu-ray & DVD! So I went on a mission to figure out how to transfer the movie characters onto Easter eggs. You can use this method to transfer ANY image onto an Easter egg! Don't they look adorable?! And they're so easy to make! We watched SING last night with the kids and it was such a cute movie! It's an animated musical comedy … [Read more...]
How to Decorate Easter Bunny Cupcakes
Our house is about a 5 minute walk to the kids' school. Which is truly a blessing most days! In our crazy dash to get everyone's shoes, jackets, and backpacks on and out the door, it's an absolute life saver that we don't have a long walk or drive in the morning. ("Wait, did I remember to put your lunch bags in your backpacks? Let me just unzip and check. NO NO sweetie... don't stop walking, we're going to be late... I can walk and zip at the same time...") Once I get back home after dropping … [Read more...]
Spring Snack Chex Mix
Other people stress about what to wear each day. Or about picking fabric samples for curtains (well... that would actually stress me out too...). But apparently I'm the type of person who stresses about what type of candy to put into my Chex mix. I went to the bulk store and bought way too many different choices. And then I filled little bowls, sat on the floor with my group of bowls and kept refilling and rearranging them to figure out which combinations would look and taste the best together. … [Read more...]
Mason Jar Easter Gifts
Have you noticed lately how the stores are just FILLED with inexpensive Easter candy? Like seriously. How much candy does a kid need at Easter? Do you think we go overboard these days? I find it hard not to go overboard when there are so many choices - especially with all the really inexpensive and cute things from the dollar store. So this is me toning things back. *breathe* I'm already having trouble leaving it at just this. There's this guilty feeling in the back of my mind, like somehow … [Read more...]
Lolly Pop Bunnies
I want to be that mom. You know the one. She's the one who sends really fancy treats to school for her kids' birthdays, and manages to always put together fancy gift bags for everyone in the class for EVERY holiday. Then my kids come home and say, "Next time, can we bake fancy cookies and decorate them like this for everyone in the class?". And I grit my teeth and mumble some kind of excuse, "Oh, I don't know honey, those look really hard to make!" I know. It sounds ridiculous given that I'm … [Read more...]
Homemade Easter Cream Eggs
Hi there! It's Kelly from Typically Simple and I'm back with an oh-so-yummy treat that is perfect for Easter! I love all of the treats that come out just for Easter, like Reese's peanut butter eggs, jelly beans, and Cadbury Creme Eggs. Any sort of treats with chocolate and peanut butter are my absolute favorite, and I recently made a batch of homemade peanut butter eggs that were quite delicious. Since I already had out most of the ingredients that are needed to make homemade Easter cream eggs, … [Read more...]
Easter Peeps Fruit Kabobs
This morning, my 7 year old popped out of bed, and said "Guess what Mommy? It's the first day of spring!" My first thought, as the wonderful and supportive mother that I am, was that she was clearly wrong. We had to confirm it with Siri (Oh Siri, always there to settle an argument when we need you...), and sure enough Siri confirmed that my daughter was right. Woo hoo! It's the first day of spring! I don't know why that makes me so happy. Well, happy might not be the right word. Relieved? … [Read more...]
Tie Dye Easter Eggs Using Paper Towels
These tie dye Easter eggs were so easy to make! I have to admit, I was a little nervous about the idea of tie dying something. It sounds like it should be scary. Or complicated. Or at the very least, messy. But you know what? It wasn't any of those things! As long as you wear rubber gloves... if you choose not wear rubber gloves and you get food colouring all over your hands, don't say I didn't warn you. I don't have very many Easter posts on the blog. How crazy is that!? Last year I had to … [Read more...]
