DIY Fruit Christmas Tree

 

We recently went over to my Mom’s house to help decorate her Christmas Tree {Hayden is SO into Christmas, so we are making the rounds and helping people decorate their trees. You need help? Give us a call!} and my Mom went all out on snacks.

Hayden is a fruit lover, so she made him his very own Fruit Christmas Tree, which he loved! You can use whatever fruit you love, but since Hayden loves grapes, raspberries and strawberries, that is what my Mom used.

Materials and Ingredients

- 1 Green Styrofoam Cone {Purchased from Michael’s or craft store{

- Toothpicks

-  Assorted Fruit {This tree was made of grapes, raspberries and a Strawberry Star. A pineapple in the shape of a star would be cute too!}

 

 Create

- Cover the Styrofoam cone in toothpicks.

- Attach fruit to toothpicks.

- Enjoy!

What fruit would you put on your Christmas Tree?

Seen on Pinterest: Bento Box School Lunches

 

Hayden just started his second year of preschool and while he only goes in the afternoons and eats lunch at home, I figured why can’t he have a fun lunch at home?

Over on Pinterest, I’ve started a Food is Fun Board and I have been seeing the most creative lunches to serve at home or for your child to bring to school! Here are just a few of my favorites to check out!

 

The blog Meet the Dubiens has a ton of bento box lunch ideas – over 100 of them! Make sure to check out her blog as the ultimate resource! She’s even got posts on where to buy the cute bento boxes she features!

I love the idea of doing this and I found this set of 4 Easy Lunchboxes that are BPA-Free and only $13.95!

 

 

Do you make your kids fun lunches?

Pin It Tuesday: Springtime Salads

 

 

After this past week of traveling plus the Holiday, I am ready for some light food! Last night for dinner, I made us all a large salad with chicken and felt good not to eat something so heavy!

I headed to Pinterest to see if I could find some other delicious salads!

This Avocado and Grilled Corn Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette looks like the perfect salad to serve up at a BBQ!

 


Ever since Lolo over at Crazy About My Baybah posted about a Kale Salad, I’ve been on the hunt for one! I found this one a few weeks ago, made it and I’m in love! I felt healthy just eating it and I’ve been trying to incorporate kale into my diet more.


I just love salads with strawberries and this Summer Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Vinaigrette looks so good!


Greek Salads are another one of my favorites!

Cupcake Love from Pinterest

 

 

I absolutely love cupcakes! They are so cute and so much fun! I even started a cupcake blog about 3 years ago {I’ll have to share some recipes here!} because it seems there are just so many different types of cupcakes out there!

Over on Pinterest, I have a Cupcake Love Board and wanted to share with you some of my favorites!
