Drizzled frosting technique over heart shaped sugar cookies from a Martha Stewart magazine I purchased a few years back

Sugar cookies pre-made + or from whichever season of motherhood you’re in… (Target, Local Bakery, or handmade) we’ve done them all so far!

DIY piping bags from plastic baggies, oh yes! + our royal icing recipe?!👇🏻


Royal icing

1/2 bag of confectioners sugar 

4 egg whites

1 drop of pink + purple frosting 

in two separate bowls. White (no need!) 


MAKING NOTE: video tutorial/Instagram reel, here. + I’ve learned a little bit of water can help your frosting be more “runny” so it drizzles for you. Both with our recipe or pre-made ⭐️ All details/supplies I could sourced here.

Holiday Storage Hack

 

Created a new holiday decor + extra craft supply storage system for the year which I'm so so excited to start! As I've heard tons of you do something very similar to this! + a few of you even take photos of what's in your storage to help not only you, though also your spouse know where things are : ) Genius!

Basic concept? + what I'm trying out?! Created DIY labels using this gold vinyl for my all time favorite white storage bins. They hold up fantastic in the garage and are also beautiful to look at (something I appreciate in the garage + our closets!) 

Then I typed up everything inside them on my computer in a list format. Printed it out + placed on top of each bin. This way I can actually remember in a year what we have while also seeing storage wise what we  have room for to add as our collection is still growing.

I’ll let you know in a year how it works out for us!😉

DIY NYE Noise Makers

 

Noise makers

Do you have any left over wrapping paper rolls?! We cut one into 4s to make our own  DIY noise makers in helping our girls ring in the New Year for nooner! (count down at 12pm) sandwiched with a  paper plate disco ball craft before + sparkling cider after noon.

To make it truly unique for the holiday, as you can see I cut out "2-0-2-2" from card stock + glue gunned one to each roll. (Glue gunned felt needed in making sure the numbers stayed on as they shook them) Here's what we did!

Supplies:
Wrapping paper roll (makes 4-5)
Wrapping paper (4 styles)
Elmer’s Glue
Glue gun
Rice (inside rolls)
Card stock (gold, pink + silver)
Gold ribbon - optiona



How we made ours:
*Cut wrapping paper roll into 4/5s

Step 1
*Cut card stock squares + glue one wrapping paper roll to end so it covers

Step 2
*Add rice to each wrapping paper roll

Step 3
*Glue gun other wrapping paper side with square card-stock so rice stays in. 

Step 4
*Cut off extra card stock on both ends so it becomes a perfect circle. 

Step 5
*Wrap each wrapping paper roll with different style of wrapping.

Step 6
*Glue gun 2 stars on top by also over lapping one star point of each star to the other.

Step 7
*Glue gun number set I&II to front + back of top portion to your wrapping paper roll as well to the “stars” in the middle so everything creates a tent shape.

*Shake, jump, run + have fun!
