A giant THANK YOU to all of our men and women in uniform this Independence Day!

This garland takes a little time, but it’s really easy. You can do it while watching TV or something. Here is the tutorial: click here.

(click on any image to view larger)  Easter is such a fun time.  I love all of the egg coloring, fun candy, egg hunts and decorations.  Most of all though, I’m so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, whose resurrection we celebrate on this day.  I’m so very, very grateful for Him.

A little peanut butter slathered on some apple slices with a few marshmallows makes mouths happy.

My kids love doing this. You will need:

*a cookie sheet with sides (to catch the excess liquid and foam from the volcanoes)
*food coloring (if you want to color the volcanoes)
*baking soda
*vinegar
*canning jars or glasses
*teaspoon

Place glasses or canning jars on cookie sheet. Add about 1/3 cup of vinegar to each glass. Add a drop of food coloring to each glass. Then let your child spoon in the baking soda. You can add more vinegar and baking soda after each volcano settles down to make it active again.

My sister S and I had so much fun talking and making these fun garlands late into the night last Saturday. Sisters are so much fun! We got the idea here. (Click on any of the images to view larger.)
