No Sew Bunny Tutu

March 24, 2015 By Callie Leave a Comment

Our Easter celebrations are beginning! We are pasteled and bunnied and peeped and chicked out. I love Easter…and for us as Catholics this is our big holiday-even though it may not seem that way. This is the final match! This is the day the promise was fulfilled and the gates of Heaven were opened. It’s amazing really.

This year Rowan and I are hosting a Toddler Easter party. It has always been about the moments as I call them. Moments to remember. My friends know I’m all about making memories and not missing a thing. We worked really hard to get Row here and we are not missing out.

Our party will consist of fun Mama times and playtime with snacks, a visit from the Bunny and an egg hunt. I wanted to make something cute and easy so I scoured Pinterest and then I found cute bunny tutus. I changed it up a bit by making them no sew tutus-because EASY!

Supplies-

Tulle-I chose pink.

Elastic

Large White Pom Pom

I love using the smaller size tulle on a spool for tutus and gifts because it’s precut and easy. Measure your toddlers waist with the elastic, cut and tie. Cut a ton of tulle-I actually ended up using the entire spool.I don’t measure as I cut I just wing it.

I found something in the house to stretch out and hold my elastic in place and then simply start knotting.

Once complete and full you can trim any extra long pieces. Hot glue the pom pom on the back to create the tail effect and bam Little Bunny Foo Foo.

So easy and cute. Row loved it and decided to twirl in it for evening entertainment.

Grinch Christmas Cookies

December 17, 2014 By Callie Leave a Comment

The toddler Christmas party I hosted included a Christmas cookie exchange for the mamas! Each mama was asked to bring two dozen cookies of their choice and in return left with a two dozen variety of their choosing. I love to bake-cupcakes are what I’m best at but cookies are becoming a fast second in line.I love trying out new things-especially when they’re super fun! I scrolled through pinterest and found a recipe for Grinch cookies. I immediately chose them. I changed them just a bit.

Ingredients-

One box of french vanilla cake mix-or you can make from scratch.

Vegetable Oil-you can substitute applesauce if you wish!

Eggs

green food coloring

heart shaped sprinkles

powdered sugar

To make follow the directions on the cake mix and add green food coloring. Row helped with this! I also doubled the recipe because 1. I make a little my cookies a little on the big size and 2. I wanted to make sure I had enough for two dozen.

Chill batter in the refrigerator for roughly 15-20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper or a silpat sheet-love those. You can also use baking spray but I prefer not to for cookies. Leaves a bit of an after taste. Pour some powdered sugar in a bowl.

Remove batter and scoop out roughly one tablespoon at a time, roll into a ball, drop into the powdered sugar, roll and cover-use this liberally.Put on the cookie sheet and press in the single heart sprinkle-right in the middle.

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let firm for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet and then move to a cooling rack. These tasted really good because well they’re cake. Row approved and they were super cute. You could easily use this recipe for Valentine’s Day with pink or red batter!

Happy eating!

And that’s how we feel about that!
