Cute and Simple DIY Bunny Garland

If you're looking for easy to make Easter decor, check out this adorable Bunny Garland I made! I used only items that I had on hand, and thankfully I already owned a premade beaded garland for Valentines Day (you can find that here) all I had to make were the lil bunnies!

I recycled a paper bag and drew out a single bunny to use as my pattern. I made as many as the bag would allow, but ended up only needing seven bunnies for this. I drew each one, then cut them out, and used a black permanent marker to draw on the eyes and mouth. Then I laid the bunny cutouts beneath heavy books for a few days, to make sure they would stay flattened.

I hung up the premade garland and used a few ball point sewing pins to attach the bunnies onto the felted hearts, but the pins also double as little buttons for each bunny. So cute! If you do not have a premade garland, all you would need is some string and beads, and maybe some tape to stick the bunnies on. This is such an easy diy decor project and I love how it turned out! This could be up year round in your little girls room, but I'm using mine for cute and simple Easter Decor.

Let's Celebrate: March 12th is National Girl Scout Day

Did you know that March 12th is the designated date for National Girl Scout Day? Girl Scouts began in Savannah Georgia, on March 12, 1912, by a lady named Juliette Gordon Low. Juliette organized several adventures for these girls including enrichment programs, outdoor activities, service projects, and more! Her first meeting contained only 18 girls, and has since grown into well over 3.7 million members all around the world! It has quickly become a well known organization where young girls can come together and not only have fun, but also build key traits to help them grow as a person and shape their future.

Many people hear the word of Girl Scouts and automatically think Cookies!! Though their organization is not only about cookies, in 1917 they did have the beautiful idea to start making cookies to help fund their activities. Their first popular flavor was a homemade Sugar Cookie, which was published in The American Girl magazine. Each cookie, made with love by a Girl Scout and mother in the community, were wrapped in wax paper and sealed with a sticker, sold door to door for just 25-35 cents per dozen! By 1951, three new cookie flavors were added on: sandwich, shortbread, and chocolate mint. As time went on, more flavors were added and new names had become, making Girl Scout Cookies to be some of the most famous selling cookie in the region.

With all the cookie sales, Girl Scouts are continuing to be able to provide several amazing experiences to young girls around the world. With our help of purchasing their delicious cookies in several flavors, we can continue helping them develop valuable life skills and make their communities a better place. If you have a little girl that would like to join the Girl Scout Community, check it out here for all the information and details to sign her up. Or if you're looking for a place to purchase a box of their cookies...or 10...you can find that here.

I know I'm about to go indulge in a sleeve of their Thin Mint Cookies...a family favorite!

What is your favorite Girl Scout Cookie?

Read Your World Day with GeGe and Di Di’s Big Day With Elephant - Book Review

Ge Ge and Di Di’s Big Day With Elephant is a fun and educational children’s book written by K Yee with translations by Ethan Cheng and illustrations by Tanja Russita. It is written in English, traditional Chinese, and Pinyin, making this an enertaining read along for those interested in learning these languages!

This book is about two brothers, Ge Ge and Di Di, doing ordinary things at home, such as making messes, playing, eating, and getting ready for bed, all while with their large, friendly elephant tags along.

The illustrations are simple yet detailed enough to keep your children’s attention, and each page includes everyday vocabulary connected to what’s happening in the illustration. The words are color coded across languages, and there are small vocabulary lists that encourage kids to point, notice, and engage with the scene. It’s the kind of book that naturally invites conversation like: “Can you find the cup?” “Where’s the elephant now?” “What do you think they’re doing?” This makes it fun and inviting, while teaching the language, and it’s something you can explore together at your own pace.

Ge Ge and Di Di’s Big Day With Elephant would be a great book for families raising bilingual or multicultural kids, parents who want to introduce another language naturally, or really just anyone looking for a calm, engaging read that supports connection during story time.

You can find Ge Ge and Di Di’s Big Day With Elephant available for purchase on Amazon or in a local book store near you. Also check out Green Cow Books on Instagram and Facebook as well as greencowbooks.com

☆ Happy Read Your World Day! Be sure to check out the #ReadYourWorld Virtual Party happening tonight, January 29th at 8pm EST. Where they are giving away 100 books! 10 book bundles of 10 books each! Plus 20 books in assorted languages celebrating diversity in the classroom and at home from Language Lizard.

Mason Natural Mushroom Power With 95% EGCG and Matcha

I recently had the opportunity to try Mason Natural Mushroom Power, a dietary supplement designed to support overall wellness through a blend of medicinal mushrooms and green tea compounds. This supplement combines shiitake, maitake, and reishi mushrooms with 95% EGCG and matcha, ingredients commonly associated with immune support, antioxidant protection, and stress resilience.

Rather than offering immediate or noticeable effects, this type of supplement is intended to work subtly in the background over time, supporting general wellness rather than targeting a specific symptom. It aids in:

Gentle immune system support
Antioxidant and cellular health benefits
Stress and inflammatory response support

The supplement comes in tablet form, one taken daily with water. The tablets are easy to swallow, which is always a plus. One thing worth noting, is that the tablets have a bit of a bitter taste when first placed on the tongue. Fortunately, there is no lingering aftertaste or burping, once swallowed, so the taste is brief.

I took Mason Natural Mushroom Power for several weeks to see how it affected my energy, stress levels, and overall sense of well being. While I didn’t experience any negative side effects, I also didn’t notice any significant or measurable changes during the time I was taking it. That said, this wasn’t entirely surprising. Supplements containing medicinal mushrooms and antioxidants often work quietly and may not produce noticeable effects, especially if you’re already maintaining a fairly balanced routine.

Mason Natural Mushroom Power may be a good option for someone specifically seeking very subtle, a long term immune or antioxidant support and who prefers tablets over powders or teas. But for those expecting noticeable improvements in energy, mood, or stress levels, the effects may feel too mild to detect.

You can find Mason Natural Mushroom Power supplements available for purchase in your local stores or on Amazon.

I received a complimentary product in exchange for an honest review and compensation.. All opinions my own.

Let's Make Festive Christmas Brownies for National Brownie Day

How to Make Festive Christmas Brownies

There’s something magical about the holiday season, and National Brownie Day happens to arrive during that time, (December 8th) so it becomes a happy excuse to make festive treats! These brownie triangles are decorated as Christmas trees, cheerful snowmen, and adorable reindeer making them the perfect dessert to make for National Brownie Day! They’re charming, easy to make, and ideal for parties, cookie plates, or cozy weekends.

Let’s dive into how you can make your own magical holiday brownies at home.

What You Need:

For the Brownies

Your favorite brownie recipe or boxed mix
9x13-inch baking pan
Parchment paper (optional, but helpful for easy removal)

For Decorating

White icing
Red candies (like M&Ms or gumdrops) for noses (you could also use red icing instead)
Mini pretzels for reindeer antlers
Star-shaped sprinkles or other candy for tree toppers
Food coloring (green, red, orange)
Assorted sprinkles
Small pretzel sticks or candy canes (tree “trunks”)

How to Make Holiday-Shaped Brownies

1. Bake the Brownies

Prepare your brownie batter and spread it evenly in the pan. Bake according to your recipe’s instructions. For best results, use parchment paper so you can lift the brownies out cleanly.

Allow them to completely cool before cutting.

2. Cut Into Triangles

This is where the holiday magic begins!

Cut the large brownie slab into long strips.
Cut each strip into triangles.
For trees: Add a pretzel stick at the bottom.
For reindeer: Keep the triangle point at the top.
For snowmen: Use the tall triangles and frost most of the surface in white icing.

3. Decorate!

Now for the fun part.

Christmas Trees

Use green icing to pipe a zig-zag “garland.”
Add tiny colorful sprinkles to mimic ornaments.
Finish with a star sprinkle or candy on top.

Snowmen

Cover the top with white icing, leaving a bit of brownie showing for the hat.
Pipe on eyes, a carrot nose, and a smile.
Add a scarf using colored icing. You could also use candy, like Twizzlers for this.

Reindeer

Add mini pretzels at the top for antlers.
Pipe eyes, and use a red candy or icing for the nose, to create a Rudolph look.

Not only are these brownies delicious, but they spark creativity and are the perfect dessert idea to bring people together. Kids and adults will love decorating them and they add instant cheer to any holiday table. So gather your supplies, pour some hot cocoa, and let your kitchen become a winter workshop of sweet ideas!! 𐂷☃𐂂

Enjoy Quick and Convenient Dinners With The True Nature Meats Co

I’m so excited to be part of The True Nature Meats Co!

They were an extension of our Thanksgiving feast this year, saving us time and adding delicious meats to our table. We were able to cut our cooking time in half, by serving premium chef-approved meats, all we had to do was heat the meat up and it was ready to serve.

True Nature Meats Co was established as a premium wholesale meat business in 1995, and have over 30 years of recipes from around the world. All of their meats are sourced from sustainable ranches across Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming, as well as global regions like Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil. They offer premium seasoned and fully cooked beef, chicken, and pork that has been flash frozen to lock in the flavor and then shipped to you for convenient, easy to cook meals. This not only reassures you to have dinner ready every night, but also cuts your cooking time down so you have more time to get other things done!

I’m so grateful that we were able to try True Nature Meats Co and have loved trying each flavor to find our favorites! Some of our best tries have been the Texas Sliced Brisket, the Japanese Teriyaki Chicken, and the Brazilian Inspired Garlic Steak. Because of the meats being precooked and already seasoned, it allows dinner to be made within minutes with no extra flavoring needed. Some of the meats are naturally higher in sodium, so they pair well with white rice or a buttery noodle and a healthy heaping of vegetables. I love that these meats help save us time and give us a variety of options to choose from.

With True Nature Meats Co, you can purchase a one time order or set up a subscription service with them to receive meats weekly or monthly to make meal time go that much smoother; and if you use my code TEMPORARYWAFFLE15 you can get $15 Off your first order!
