Angry Birds Cupcakes Tutorial

The other day I showed you a step-by-step tutorial for the Yellow Angry Bird pinata we made for my son's 3rd birthday party. (You can check out that post here).
Today I am back to show you a quick tutorial for the cupcakes we served at the party.
I ended up making 2 dozen of these cupcakes, 12 red birds and 12 yellow birds.

I've tried to include pictures to show the process, and I will explain as much as I can, but as always if you have any questions let me know!

Yellow Angry Bird Pinata Tutorial

Yesterday we celebrated my son's 3rd birthday.

For this birthday my son requested an Angry Birds party, and it was so fun going through the details and hearing specifically what he wanted to have at the party.

My son told me his favorite bird is the yellow bird, and he wanted a yellow bird pinata.

I knew we could totally pull this off, and I'm pretty proud of the end product. It turned out just how I had pictured it in my head.

Always a plus :)

I have a lot of step-by-step pictures for you so you can see how it was all put together.

Scratch Art Craft

A few weeks ago I saw a time-lapse video tutorial for these 'Scratch Art cards'

They looked really quick and easy to put together, so I thought we'd give them a try.

I think I was also just curious to see if it really worked as well as they say.

I was surprised that it did end up working pretty well!

This does take a little bit of prep work, so you can make these ahead of time for your little ones to scratch off the black part, or let them be apart of the whole process.

Pinwheel Headband {Video Tutorial}

If you follow me on any of my social media outlets you may have seen me posting a lot of pictures of headbands and bows that I've been making.

Within the last 2 months I've had 4 friends give birth to baby girls!

Needless to say, I have been working on my bow skills ;)

I have had a few people ask me how to make some of these bows, so I wanted to post some video tutorials for you. 

This one is for a fabric pinwheel nylon headband for a baby girl. (You can also use felt).

Let me know if you have any questions!!

Today's review is of a game called Circuit Maze from the company ThinkFun.

This is the second game we have reviewed from this company, (the other review was for a game called Square by Square. You can check out that review here).

As soon as I saw what this was I couldn't wait for my son to try it out.

We still love playing the Square by Square game, and I was hoping this one would be just as awesome.

I am here to tell you that it is!

I absolutely LOVE games that teach and challenge young minds, and this one definitely fits that description!

Raising Men

"Boys will be boys, or so they say, but I'm raising my boys to be men one day..."

I have 3 boys I get to call my own. 3 boys that my husband and myself are trying to raise in a world full of violence, evil, hatred, lust, and selfishness.
But also a world with hope, kindness, charity, and love.

Hopefully these 3 boys that have been entrusted to us will grow up to be kind-hearted, hard working, loving men one day.
That is my goal.
That is what my life revolves around right now.
Making sure my husband and myself take every opportunity, every small moment, every unspoken action to teach these future men how to be good human beings.
They say behind every good kid is a mom who's sure she is screwing it all up.
I hope that's the case because I feel like I am screwing it up on a daily basis.
This has been weighing on my mind a lot lately.
Our children are growing up in a different world than we did, and I hope and pray daily that we are doing our best to give them the tools and knowledge to make it through successfully.

I have another review for you today!

If you remember a few weeks ago I got to review a charcoal gel cleanser, in that post I mentioned that now, being in my 30's, I needed to have more of a 'grown-up' skincare routine.

I have been loving that cleanser, and now I have something else to take it up a notch.

This is the BrightTouch Sonic Face Cleansing Brush from BrightTherapy.
