Pinspired–Peep Smores

I don’t care much for Peeps, but when I saw a Pin on Pinterest using them in Smores, I couldn’t wait for the After-Easter sales so I could buy these babies on clearance!

My older son’s favorite color is green, so I opted for some green Peeps (does anyone else want to raise their arms up to their sides and yell “MY PEEPS” when you say Peeps? No? Well, um, I don’t either).

We don’t have a fire pit out back (yet) so we made them the good ‘ol fashioned way…in a microwave. :)

We layered the ingredients up….

Then cooked them for about 15 seconds.

The result was an ooey, goooey, green, deliciously marshmallowy smore.

If by chance you ever find anything on the blog you would like to Pin, I have made it easier for you to do so.

At the bottom of each post, you will now find a “Pin It” button. One click and you will be able to pin away! :)

Happy Pinning!!!

Easy Peasy–Growing Your own Green Onions

I don’t remember if I saw this on Pinterest or elsewhere, but by golly is it genius!!!

One of my goals this year is to cut back on grocery spending (so we can spend it elsewhere, like a new pair of shoes for mommy…er, well, like for family adventures and such heehee). I saw this tip and decided to try it.

Instead of throwing away the stems of the green onion, put them in a container and cover the white bulb part with water.

I forgot to take a “before” picture, but this is what they looked like after only a day of sitting in water. You can already see the growth.

This is the growth on the third day (the stalks in the back). I had added a new batch of green onions the prior day so those are the ones with new growth in front.

This is the growth after only 5 days. Crazy cool, huh?

Now, instead of going to the grocery store for green onions, I have them growing in my kitchen.

Pinspired–Important Dates of Our Lives

This is the first project I worked on that was inspired by Pinterest.

Armed with a Cricut, a couple Cricut cartridges, vinyl, cardstock and 12×12 canvas (the flat kind), I got to work! The numbers are 2″ tall and made from vinyl. The heart and flourishes are from cardstock.

I am still not quite sure how I want to frame it and display it on the wall. Maybe amidst a collage display of family photos??? Pin It
