Target Easter Clearance

After an early play date today, I had the courage to run to Target and check out their Easter clearance section with my two little ones.  So glad I did!!

In the back of the store (where they orginally had their Easter section) was some leftover Easter items marked 50% off.  However, most of the items were ringing up 90% off!  The candy was ringing up 50% - 75% off, still not a bad deal.







Here's what I got for only $4.26!  Woohoo!!


3 Plastic Table Clothes - $.49 (originally $4.99)
1 Easter Egg Hanging Decoration - $.60 (originally $6)
1 Spring Banner - $.50 (originally $5)
4 Easter Baskets $.30 (originally $3)
3 Bags of Easter Eggs $.08 (originally $.80)


Not bad for a quick trip to Target with two little ones!!  Happy Savings! :)

DIY Easter Bunny Picture Frame

With Easter only a couple days away, I decided to do some Easter crafts with the kids today.  My little guy and I talked about it, and he decided that he wants to make an Easter present for Grandma.  So this is what I came up with:


What you'll need:
  • Any kind of heavy paper (I used photo paper I purchased at the Dollar Tree)
  • Cotton Balls 
  • Pink and White construction paper
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • 4x6 photo



Take your heavy paper and trace the 4x6 photo on the back.  Then cut about 2 inches from the line that you traced to make the frame.  Cut out the pink ears and white middle ears, just a bit smaller.



Glue the ears together, and then glue to the top of the frame.  I then put some glue dots around the edge so my little guy could glue on the cotton balls.



Let that dry and then add the photo of your choice.  Just tape it onto the back of the frame.


And there you have it.  A simple, fun and easy DIY Easter Bunny Picture Frame any Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt or Uncle would be proud to hang on their frig!

Happy Easter to everyone!

2 Ingredient Pancakes



These are the easiest, most kid friendly, inexpensive and delicious pancakes you have ever had.  If you're a banana lover that is.  Oh...and did I mention, gluten free!

My kids are pretty picky eaters, so when they started eating these pancakes, I was pretty excited! This is a super easy recipe, something I always appreciate in the morning!

Ingredients:

2 Eggs
1 Banana


 Take the banana smash it with a potato masher or just a fork.  Then add the eggs.


Whisk the eggs and bananas until they are all mixed together.  The batter will look a little lumpy, that's fine.


Then cook in a non-stick pan, just as you would a typical pancake.  (I put a little bit of butter in the pan, just for taste.)  They are more like crepes, thin and fragile, so be careful when flipping them.


I get about 5 medium size pancakes out of one recipe.  My kids love them with a little bit of maple syrup, or even some jelly.



Hope your family loves these as much as we do!  Enjoy!!

DIY Wood Polish




Ever wonder what's in your wood polish you buy at the store?  Lots of chemicals that you may not want to breath in after looking them up!!

I've been doing some research and found a very effective and inexpensive DIY Wood Polish recipe.  I found the recipe at Fabulous Farm Girl, a great website, totally worth checking out!!

Here's what you'll need

1 3/4 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
20 Drops Lemon Essential Oil
1 Spray Bottle

*I purchased the Lemon Essential Oil on Amazon for $6.64 + FREE shipping on Amazon.  NOW Essential Oils 1 fl. oz.


Take the ingredients and mix in a bowl with an immersion blender.  (If you don't have an immersion blender, you just mix it well with a  whisk or in a mixing bowl with the whisk attachment).  Mix until all ingredients have become incorporated.


Then pour into an empty, clean spray bottle.  (I purchased this at my local Dollar Tree.)


There you have it!  And it works!!  Make sure to shake well before using, it separates a little on the top.  It also makes the whole room smell fantastic when you clean!
