PEEPS Easter Recipes & Crafts

Mar

2013

 

I actually really like PEEPS and I admit that I like them when they are just a little bit chewy.  You know, the day after Easter when the package has been sitting open.   Every year in our home, we make an Easter Bunny Cake.  This tradition started with my Mom when my brother, sisters, and I were kids.   We have so much fun making the cake.  Mostly because we eat the jelly beans, licorice, and coconut before the cake even pops out the oven!

This year, we are going to try something new.   We decided on to keep the Easter Bunny Tradition but change it up a little and try the PEEPS Bunny Patch Cake.    Look at the detail in this cake.  Those little carrot the PEEPS are eating are Mike and Ike’s!   Hopefully we will have some leftover Easter Bunny PEEPS to make  PEEPS Easter Bunny Cupcakes.    Can you believe PEEPS are 60 years old?  Pick up the 60th Anniversary Party Flavored PEEPS, sold only at Walmart.

If you like PEEPS, but can only eat a few, save the rest a make PEEPS Easter Craft.   You will have to resist the urge to eat them once they are opened.

Head over to Walmart to PEEPSonalize your  very own PEEP.   I call mine Rocking PEEP.

Check out PEEPS at Walmart and PEEPS Recipes and Crafts.   If you have your own PEEP Crafts, be sure to share it.

Teacher Gift Ideas On A Budget

Nov
28
2012

 

This is a repost from last year, but I wanted to share this idea for  Teacher Christmas Gift on a Budget.

I have received quite a few people who are looking for budget minded Christmas gifts for teachers. I know that teachers prefer to receive items like gift cards, but  many of you are working on a very limited or no budget. Some of you only saved catalinas, ECB or UPR – perhaps even your stockpile.

There was a great suggestion on Facebook I wanted to share.  I think this is a GREAT idea if you don’t have the money to buy a gift. Nicole said that many teachers have to buy supplies for their classrooms.  I quickly made this basket from items in my stockpile.  Items you might want to include:

  • Hand Sanitizer
  • Gum
  • Post It Notes
  • Pencils
  • Pens
  • Notebooks
  • Lysol Wipes
  • Tissues
  • Sharpies
  • Crayons
  • Hand Soap
  • Lotion
  • Glue Sticks

You can use a basket or a tote.

These were all items I had on hand. If you can afford it, perhaps a $5.00 gift card to a coffee shop or a book store. This may not be the perfect gift, but it something they can use – and you can afford.

Reader Beth suggested that if you can not afford a gift, perhaps a letter of appreciation. You could put it on cute Christmas stationary.

There are a ton of great ideas here on Facebook – check out over 75 suggestions.

Do you have any gift ideas?
