DIY Kids Bookmarks with Pom Tree Kids & Giveaway

Today I'm sharing an easy DIY Kids Bookmark tutorial and offering a giveaway!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pom Tree Kids. All opinions & photos are my own. Please see my disclosure policy.

Can I just tell you how excited my son was when we received some awesome crafting supplies from Pom Tree Kids? 

He couldn't quite decide what project to make first and then he remembered he really needed a bookmark, so he opened the kit and got busy using his imagination to make custom bookmarks. 

My son loved being able to complete this project all by himself without help. The kit included all the necessary supplies. Pom Tree Kids also offers tons of coordinating sticker buckets with 1000's of extras for any project.

 The sticky back foam really works and is easy for him to peel off the shapes without a problem. I love that these were self-adhesive so we didn't have to mess with glue.

Using the foam bookmarks and sticky shape sheets, you can create any type of custom bookmark you want. My son went with mostly monsters. :) He used the pipe cleaners in the kit as the finishing touch. Can I just say how proud my little boy was to finish this project all on his own? I was pretty proud of him too (plus, I love any kid project that I don't actually have to do 80% of the work which seems to happen more often than not!). He immediately went and got his library books to insert his bookmarks so he would have them handy to use. 

Pom Tree Kids offers so many different kits and products, visit them on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest to learn more about their amazing products. They are also giving away 10 Pom Tree Kids gift baskets worth $50 each! Be sure to enter below!

Celebrating "Pi" Day with pie!

Did you all know that March 14th is Pi day? A holiday celebrating mathematics? My husband and son are all over this, they love math. They may or may not sit around the dinner table during dinner quizzing each other about math facts. :) (While I sit and roll my eyes, lol) I may not love math but if celebrating Pi Day involves eating pie...then I'm all in! Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th around the world and what better way to celebrate then with a pie from Marie Callender's? There are so many selections and types to choose from you're bound to find one (or many) your family will love.

March 14th is also a special day in our house because it is my son's birthday. We had an unofficial birthday celebration last week with cousins, aunts & uncles, and grandparents while we were on Spring Break but we still planned to celebrate with our small little family of 3 tomorrow. Well, guess what my 7 year old chose for his birthday cake. You guessed it, he requested a Marie Callender's chocolate satin pie. I was pretty surprised, the kid is usually all about fancy custom made cakes by mom. I do have to say I will enjoy sitting back and relaxing with pie this birthday. :) 

I was secretly hoping he would choose the coconut cream (my favorite) but I guess since its his birthday we'll let him choose his favorite. :) I can't really blame him, this pie is so delicious and rich with the perfect creamy whipped topping and those yummy chocolate shavings on top.

  I think our favorite part was the chocolate cookie crust. It was the perfect complement to the creamy pie filling.

We know how we will be celebrating Pi Day, and you can join us in celebrating with your family by using this coupon for $1.50 off a Marie Callender's frozen pie at national retailers (coupon expires March 31, 2013). You can also rate and review any Marie Callender's product or just head over and get party ideas, how-to's, and more at the Marie Callender's Blog.

A Giant Surprise {sponsored post}

These past few months we have been trying make smarter choices about what we are eating in our house. Now, with kids in the house it can be tough to find yummy snack alternatives, and I was so thrilled when Green Giant shared their giant surprise with me...New Veggie Chips!

  We couldn't wait to open them up and try them out. We loved their light and crisp texture, not to mention their yummy flavor. We knew these would be delicious with homemade healthy guacamole, and it was a hit.

My personal favorite was the Multigrain Sweet Potato with sea salt, it was the perfect amount of sweet and savory. My son loved the Roasted Veggie Tortilla chips in Zesty Cheddar, he even asked if I would send them in his lunchbox to school. I love that these are made with real vegetables, that's what I call a great surprise. :)

As you can tell, these didn't last long. :) I can see these becoming a lighter alternative to snack and party foods in our home. Perfect timing with march madness right around the corner!
