Easy Bubble Refill Jar!

Pin it on Pinterest

If you have kids or grandkids, you know that bubbles are a must have for summer! But with bubbles comes the mess – sticky hands, multiple containers all over, and don’t get me started on the spills! Then you’re left with a bunch of empty containers and sad kids.  We found a very EASY way to keep the fun of bubbles without the headache and mess.

Head to your local store (we went to Walmart) 1.5 Gallon Beverage Dispenser ONLY $11.43 and pick up a beverage dispenser with a spigot for easy pouring.  Grab some easy stick and peel vinyl stickers to label it so no one gets confused with it being something to drink (lets face it, it could happen!).  Pour all the bubbles you have laying around into the dispenser and put the lid on tight.  Add your stickers to say whatever you want!  Then, make sure you grab a few Red Solo Cups or any other cups you have around the house to empty the bubbles into.  Make sure you keep the bubble wands from your old containers!

When you’re ready to play bubbles, grab a cup and pour in some bubbles and enjoy!

No more wasting and sticky hands, just quick and easy fun!

Chocolate Chip Cookies Made w/ a SPECIAL Ingredient
(Don’t Skip This!)

Pin it on Pinterest HERE: http://pin.it/RkPpX3O

We all probably have our own chocolate chip cookie recipe that we used, maybe passed down through generations or maybe just one you found online that you love! But, let me tell you this, after you read through this recipe and try this special ingredient, you’ll never go back to the other ways again.  Trust me.  I LOVE chocolate chip cookies, especially when they are light and fluffy and well….chocolately.  (Is that a word? It is now!)

So when you look at this stack of ingredients, you basically see everything you usually use, right? Flour, sugar, butter, baking soda, vanilla….but notice we added something different.  That’s right.  Jell-O Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix. Yes, you read that right! It’s a little addition that makes them so light, fluffy and melt in your mouth delicious!

Recipe:

Here are the basic ingredients you’ll need:

  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • (1) Package Jell-O Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (I personally like mine with a lot of chocolate so I add an entire bag!)

Baking Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking soda.  Set aside until later.
  • In a large mixing bowl (I used my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer Bowl), cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar together until completely incorporated.
  • Add the Instant Pudding Mix until well mixed
  • Add eggs one at a time and then the vanilla
  • Add the flour mixture slowly (adding it too fast will make it dry)
  • Mix in the chocolate chips
  • Place spoon fulls of cookie dough on your baking pan (well greased is key!)
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on your oven, you may need more or less time!
  • Let them stand on your cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes and then move to cooling rack.

Another TIP: Did you know, if you don’t have any Vanilla Pudding Mix, you can use cornstarch? Yup! Simply add 2 teaspoons in with your flour, salt and baking soda mix when you add to the wet ingredients.  It makes them incredibly light and fluffy!

Footprint Mistletoe Decorative Keepsake Plate

November 16, 2015 By Mac Leave a Comment

Footprint Mistletoe Decorative Keepsake Plate

If you’re looking for an adorable and fun craft to do with your children for the Holidays or even as a gift, try this! We made these great decorative plates in a day with my children for Christmas gifts this year! Any aunt, uncle or grandparent would love this gift! After a quick trip to Wal-Mart to get the supplies, we came home to tackle the project.

Supplies Needed:

  • White dinner plates:  We used the $0.88 MainStays Stonewear plates from Wal-Mart in their dinnerware department.  Cheaper than the dollar store! My store had limited quantities, so if you need a few, I would go HERE and order them for free site-to-store pick up!
  • Tabletop Easel: Because these are being gifted as Decorative Plates, I wanted to be sure that they weren’t mistaken for regular dinner plates. We found these in the picture frame aisle for only $0.97 each! Again, if you need more than one or two, go HERE and order them for free pick up!
  • Acrylic Paint: We stopped by the arts and crafts aisle of our store and got an assortment of colors for the light bulbs around the trim of the plate.  We chose the brand Apple Barrel with their Multi-Surface paint.  It’s easy to work with and wipes off little feet and hands quickly with a warm cloth! I picked up the small 2fl oz bottles, which is more than enough.  And a great price at only $0.88 per bottle in store but we found them for only $0.50 online HERE!
  • Black Sharpie Permanent Marker

Instructions:

  1. Paint the bottom of one of your child(ren)’s foot.  Put it at an angle when you put it on the plate after you’ve painted it.  Wash the paint off and then do the same to the other foot and again put it at an angle with the heels of the feet touching on the plate.
  2. Take your little one’s finger in the red paint and make the red balls at the top of the heels.  We did three!
  3. Let the paint dry before you take a permanent marker and make the string for the lights.  You could also use paint, but I had a steady hand with a marker.
  4. Once the paint is dry, start at the edge of the plate and make your loopy lines for the lights.  At the points where you want to add your thumb print lights, add little black squares & add the colors on top.
  5. Let air dry overnight and then wrap accordingly.
  6. ENJOY!
