Easter Trail Mix With Carrot Bugles

What You Need:

To make this Easter Bunny snack mix with carrot Bugles, you will need just a few ingredients.

You can easily adjust this recipe to accommodate for likes/dislikes or what you have on hand.

Making the Carrot Bugles

Creating the carrot Bugles is easy and adds a little bit of extra to an otherwise simple Easter snack mix.

Start by melting the candy melts in the microwave according to the directions. You will want to work in two batches so save a small portion of your bag to melt later.

Hold the Bugle chip by the widest part with your fingers and dip into the melted orange candy. So you are dipping the pointed part up to your fingers, leaving a small portion of the Bugles undipped.

Place on a silicone baking mat or sheet of wax paper to dry. Continue melting Bugles until you run out of chocolate.

Next, melt the second batch of candy melts according to directions.

Pick up each Bugle by the tip this time (the portion already dipped). Dip the wide portion into the melted candy and then immediately dip into the green sprinkles.

Place the Bugle Carrots back on the silicone mat to dry.

Mixing the Easter Trail Mix Up

Now for the easy part, mixing up the Easter trail mix with carrot Bugles.

Dump in one bag of Easter M&M’s, one box of Annie’s Bunnies, half a bag of mini marshmallows and the carrot Bugles.

Gently toss the ingredients together, place in a bowl or individual cups or bags for serving.

DIY Snow Pants for Kids

February 14, 2021 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

Make these easy DIY snow pants for kids before the snow hits! You will only need a few common household items and about 15 minutes of time!

It is snowing as I write this and I’m thrilled! We live right outside of Memphis, TN and snow isn’t exactly the norm. We usually get some kind of winter weather once or twice a year but it is rarely significant snow fall.

However, that is about to change! Later today and into tomorrow we are expecting up to 8 inches of snow! Ahh! I love it.

But when you live in the South and don’t get frequent snow, many people are not prepared with the proper clothing. All day yesterday, I watched the neighborhood Facebook pages flood with parents in search of snow bibs, snow pants, boots and sleds!

Some people got lucky and found a used option but many weren’t able to find the gear. Most retail stores around here don’t carry a large inventory (if any) of that type of winter clothing.

And since I have two kiddos that I know are going to spend days in the winter wonderland coming our way, I set out to find something.

DIY Snow Pants for Kids

If I am being honest, I searched Amazon and every retail store around first and had no luck finding snow pants for my kids.

So this morning as it started snowing, I figured I needed to get serious about coming up with something. I saw a few people saying they were going to layer their kids up like our moms did to us in the 80’s and send them out.

I’m ok with that but then I started remembering how I would come in from the snow soaking wet as a kid. And since the Weather Channel says it currently feels like 1 Degree (yes one) outside, I wanted to at least attempt to keep my kids as dry as possible.

That is where the DIY Snow pants for kids come in and save the day! You can make these with common household supplies and just a few minutes.

They may not keep the kiddos bone dry but it will be much better than just cotton or fleece layers! And while they won’t win a fashion contest, your kids will be more comfortable with these pants on!

What You Need For DIY Snow Pants for Kids

Here are the supplies that you need to make water resistant snow pants:

Bags – You can use ClickList Bags from Kroger, Target Pick Up bags or a Garbage bag (outdoor bags would work best)
Scissors
Duct Tape
Sharpie
A Pair of Your Child’s Pants (I used Jeans)

How To Make Homemade Water Resistant Snow Pants for Children

Making the DIY snow pants for kids is quick, easy & cheap.

To make the pants, start by cutting your bag along the seams. You want the bag to lay flat. Do this for a total of 2 bags.

Best Bags by Size

Kroger ClickList Bags – Toddler Sizes (Probably up to size 4T)
Target Drive Up Bags – Child Size (Probably up to size 7 or 8)
Black Garbage Bags – Youth – Adult

A few more notes on bags. Don’t use regular grocery bags. They will be too thin. They ClickList or Target Driveup bags are thicker and will be more durable.

If you don’t have these or a black outdoor garbage bag, a kitchen garbage bag is probably your next best choice. A cheap disposable tablecloth could work as well.

Creating a Template

Place the two flat bags on top of each other. Next, place the child’s pants on top of one of the bags.

Using the Sharpie, trace around the pants leaving about 1 inch extra space between the pants and the line that you are drawing. This extra space is important to ensure the pants fit over the layers. They will also shrink up a bit when you perform the next step.

I didn’t add enough at the waist on the example below and had to redo them because they were too tight. Don’t make that mistake and give yourself some wiggle room. You can always make it more snug if you need to with tape.

*If you are using the black trash bags, you may need have someone hold the pants while you cut (skipping the Sharpie step). Otherwise, a white chalk marker would work if you want to trace the pant outline if you have one on hand.

Cutting the Disposable Snow Pants Out

Remove the child’s actual pair of pants that you traced, leaving just your bag with the drawn on template and the 2nd bag directly underneath.

Take care to ensure that your bags stay lined up and cut through both bags following along the lines of your template. These DIY snow pants for kids are pretty forgiving so if you don’t get it perfect, don’t worry.

No Sew Snow Pants for Kids

Now it is time to “sew” those pants up. Bring in the duct tape!

Start on one side and apply pieces of duct tape along the side. Place the tape about 1/2 inch from the edge and then wrap it around the other side.

As you make your way down, overlap each segment slightly to ensure a good seal.

In the crotch area, you may have to cut a few small pieces to make it work. I also added an extra piece of tape there to reinforce.

Leave Openings

Remember to leave the bottom open for the feet to go through. Around the waist, I put a piece of tape on each side to create a hem of sorts just to create a little extra durability but don’t seal it shut.

How Much Do Homemade Snow Pants Cost

Making them with the Kroger or Target bags costs virtually nothing. I had all of these items on hand at home. Since I was reusing the store bags, my only real cost was the few pieces of duct taper that I used.

When you compare that to the snow pants that I was looking at online, I easily saved $30-$100 per child!

How to Wear the Snow Pants

Here is how I’m planning to use these DIY Snow Pants for kids.

We will put on a base layer of leggings or long underwear. Next, the homemade water resistant snow pants. After that, we will layer on a big pair of sweatpants.

Putting the 2nd pair of pants over the homemade snow pants should hold them up. But if you are having trouble keeping them up, you could always add a couple of loosely placed duct tape pieces to create a more snug fit.

Just make sure you layer up! These homemade pants will help to keep you dry, not warm.

60 Free Books For Kids By Mail

January 27, 2021 by Stacy Craft 2 Comments

You can sign up for a program that will send 60 free books for kids by mail from the time of your child’s birth until their 5th birthday!

Getting 60 free books for kids by mail is made possible by Ms. Dolly Parton herself! As a fellow TN gal myself, I just love me some Dolly.

Her love for reading and children was the inspiration for her Imagination Library. She started the library in 1995 & by 2016 she celebrated sending out 1 million free books out to children per month. Per month!

This program is such a great outreach and it is free to any child regardless of income through the age of 5!

(Affiliate Links are used in this post. A small commission may be paid to me at no extra cost to you and that helps to support this page. Please see my disclosures page for additional information.)

60 Free Books For Kids By Mail

So how does this program work to get 60 free books for kids by mail? Keep reading for all the details on how to grab these free books and my experience with the program.

Let’s start with my experience. I learned of this program when my daughter was 2 and signed her up immediately. We enjoyed the books until she aged out of the program.

My second child is now on his 3rd year with the Imagination Library. It is also interesting to note that I don’t think we have ever gotten a duplicate book, even with having had two kids in the program over the last few years.

It is such a fun treat to go out to the mailbox and have the kids find something new to read waiting on them. And honestly in a world of bills & junk mail, I don’t mind seeing a new book in our mailbox either!

Who Can Sign Up?

Residents of the United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland can sign their child up to receive free books! There is a link on the website to make sure that the program is in your area.

What Age Should My Child Be To Receive Imagination Library Books?

The ideal age would be as soon as the child is born. Dolly’s program starts at birth and continues until your child’s fifth birthday.

If you are just learning of this program, you can still sign up any child that is under the age of 5.

How Many & What Kind of Books Will My Child Receive?

The number of books that your child receives in the mail will depend upon when you sign up for the Imagination Library program. If you sign up at the time of your child’s birth, your child would receive 60 free books by mail by the time they are 5.

If you sign up later, your child will receive one book per month until they turn 5.

We have received all types of books since signing up for the Imagination Library program. Some of the books are very well known and popular classics. And other times we have received books that I was not familiar with but that we have enjoyed as much or more than the more well known authors.

Age Appropriate Content

The monthly book is tailored to your child’s age which provides them with engaging content to listen to as you read.

How Do the Free Books Arrive?

Each month you will receive one book per child wherever you receive mail. We are in the United States so our books are delivered by the United States Postal Service.

Each book is wrapped in a plastic covering to keep it protected from weather elements and other damage during the shipping process.

Most of the books that we have received have been paperback books filled with plenty of colorful pictures.

Where Do I Sign up For 60 Free Kids Books by Mail?

You can check to make sure that Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is available where you live here.

Assuming that the program is available in your area, you will fill out a short form and then should receive your child’s first book within 30 days.

Value of the Imagination Library Books Sent to You for Free

I pulled a few of our books off the shelf that we got from Imagination Library and checked them on Amazon to see what their value is if you bought them.

Here are the books I checked:

The books ranged in price but were generally anywhere from $8.99-14.99. That means that even if every book that you got retails at $8.99, you would get a value of $540 in books if you signed your child up at birth.

Wow! Such an awesome service to encourage literacy in our kids.

Donating the Books When Done

This is not necessary as the books are yours to keep. However, whenever my children have outgrown the books that we have received, I love to donate them to schools, churches or other preschool programs.

Donate to the Imagination Library

Speaking of donations, if you are looking to make a charitable donation this year the Imagination Library accepts monetary donations.

The Dollywood Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Christmas Reindeer Eggs in a Basket

December 19, 2020 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

It is so easy to make Christmas reindeer eggs in a basket. Your kids will get a fun breakfast and you will be happy that they are getting good whole foods without a bunch of sugar.

My Dad always made us a breakfast that he called a “one eye.” It was a piece of bread with the middle torn out and a fried egg in the hole. A simple meal that we always enjoyed as kids.

I’ve discovered that what I knew as a one eye is called about a thousand other names by others! According to Wikipedia you might call this dish eggs in a hole, eggs in a frame, one-eyed Jack, Toad in the hole, or gashouse eggs.

And after the Turkey shaped Thanksgiving eggs in a basket were such a hit, I knew a Rudolph version was required for December.

This simple Christmas reindeer eggs in a basket is easy to make without any special ingredients. You probably have everything in your pantry to make this right now.

Christmas Reindeer Eggs in a Basket

Making easy and fun food for kids is a great way to get those little mouths interested in what you serve on their plate. And when it is shaped like their favorite reindeer, it is definitely a fun morning.

This holiday shaped breakfast is made with minimal sugar (just one M&M for that bright shiny nose) & you could even sub that if desired. It is nice to be able to serve the kiddos a character breakfast that is pretty healthy vs. a big bowl of red and green sugary cereal.

Here is what you need to make some Christmas reindeer eggs in a basket breakfast meals.

Ingredients for Rudolph Egg in a Hole

Eggs
Bacon
Bread
Raisins
Red M&M’s or even a Dried Cranberry

How to Make Reindeer One Eye Holiday Breakfast

This breakfast is so easy to create. If you can make bacon and eggs, you can make this Christmas reindeer eggs in a basket.

Start by taking a piece of bread and removing most of the middle. You can do this by tearing it out with your hands (my Dad’s preferred method) or using a round cookie cutter.

Melt about half a tablespoon to a tablespoon of butter in a skillet & place your bread in the skillet over medium heat.

Crack an egg into the hole. You can season with salt and pepper if you like but I don’t when it is for the kids. They are plain Jane eaters.

Allow the egg to cook enough to where you can flip the toast/egg combo. Flip it and continue cooking the egg to your desired level. I cook these over hard when for the kids because they don’t like runny eggs.

Once the eggs are done and the toast has browned up some, remove the toast from the pan. Add your reindeer bacon antlers onto the plate and position your bread.

For the eyes, add two raisins to the bread. Next, place a red M&M or a dried cranberry in the center to represent Rudolph’s nose.

Serve your Christmas reindeer eggs in a basket to your kids and watch them eat up a wholesome holiday breakfast that is actually good for them.
