For teacher appreciation week this year we did some Pinteresting and found this cute idea. We put individual Crystal Light drink mixes & tea mixes inside the cups. They were a big hit with Jack’s teachers

Bacon wrapped asparagus
May 20, 2012 by
You will need:
- fresh asparagus stalks, ends chopped off
- bacon
- TS garlic garlic
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
Wrap fresh asparagus stalks with strips of bacon, place in a greased shallow pan. Season generously with garlic garlic and salt & pepper. Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil over asparagus. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes, then broil on low for an additional 10 minutes, flipping if needed.
These were so yummy. Next time we are going to make them on the grill though because we like our bacon crispier!
Flowers that last forever
May 17, 2012 by
After seeing an idea on Pinterest, I concocted this for my grandma to keep in her hospital room as she starts chemotherapy. She lives and breathes for her grandchildren so what better way for us to always be with her. It turned out so great and she loved it. I thought it would be much better than bringing her fresh flowers because those only last a few days.
I used die cuts for the flowers, cut out all the faces of the grandchildren (even the dogs), laminated them. Spray painted kabob sticks green & stuffed foam in a vase and covered with fake grass. Glued on a ribbon bow and vaaala.

Thanks to Pinterest, we found a cute idea for mother’s day gifts this year. Cut out kids pictures and use them as flowers. Paint flower pots & kabob sticks to hold them in place.The kids loved helping with this project!
