Baby Shower - Diaper Cake and Giant Onesie Cupcakes!

A few weeks ago a couple of friends and I hosted a baby shower for a sweet friend, due with her first baby girl soon! We all provided food and my oldest made the beautiful, mod pink and brown cake. We also served Raspberry Sherbet pie, fruit, cookies, and delicious cheese dip.





A diaper cake, several giant Onesie cupcakes (tutorial here), and baby sock cupcakes, served as decorations.




We had a great time celebrating the Mommy-To-Be!

  1. What a great post it was and your Baby Shower - Diaper Cake and Giant Onesie Cupcakes are cute but hilarious! Loved taking a look at these photos.

One Simple Thing - Make Ice Cream! No Ice Cream Maker Needed!

 You can make amazingly creative ice cream with your little one by doing the following (the original recipe can be found here ):   Whip 2 cups of chilled, heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix one can of sweetened condensed milk with any mix-ins you like. We stirred in 1/4 cup Nutella and 1 tsp espresso powder for an amazingly rich Nutella ice cream. Later, we used chocolate chips and vanilla extract to make Stracciatella ice cream (shown below).        Fold the condensed milk/mix-ins mixture into the whipped cream. Transfer this mixture to a plastic container and cover with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Freeze for 6 hours.      Voila! Perfectly creamy ice cream! No ice cream maker needed! This was such a fun and creative project for the kids! They had so much fun making pineapple ice cream (adding 1 can of crushed pineapple) and chocolate (adding a chopped up chocolate bar and chocola...

One Simple Thing - Monday - Water Play

One Simple Thing you can do with your child today to increase his reading skills and boost science learning is to...play with water! Place an old towel or blanket either on a level surface, indoors or outside. Fill a plastic baking bowl or other plastic container with room-temperature water and add 2-3 small Tupperware-like plastic containers. Let the pouring and measuring begin! As your child scoops up water and scoops it from container to container, narrate what she is doing. Then, ask questions such as, “I wonder how many little scoops it takes to fill this bigger plastic container?” Ask other “investigative” questions and narrate what he is doing. Then, you are teaching language and science at the same time! Supervise closely and have fun!

Tile Coaster Tutorial

Tile coasters are easy and fun to put together and make wonderful gifts! Best of all, they are inexpensive and functional ! Here's what you'll need: Modge Podge (available at craft stores) 12x12 scrapbooking paper (scrap paper is fine too, you'll need 4x4 squares) 4x4 tiles (13 cents and up at home improvement stores) foam brush felt pads (any size, four per tile, found at Home Depot, Lowes etc.) clear acrylic spray Cut as many 4x4 pieces of scrapbooking paper as tiles. Using the foam brush, cover each tile with a thin layer of Modge Podge. Quickly press the paper unto the tile. Let the Modge Podge/paper dry for 15 minutes. Next, apply a thin layer of Modge Podge over the entire surface of the tile and paper. Let dry, then repeat. Finally, spray each tile with a thin layer of clear acrylic to seal. Add the felt pad to four corners of each tile and...Voila -water-resistant coasters that can be customized to match any season or decor!
