Annie's Homegrown Freezer Meals

Thanks to the wonderful people over at Influenster, I was recently given the opportunity to try one of Annie's Homegrown freezer meals for free!

Now I know what you are thinking, freezer meals. Blah! Those are terrible! But it's simply not the truth in this case! Some days, I just don't have time to cook from scratch (mainly on work nights, when I sometimes get home too tired to even consider cooking), so we turn to convenience foods in these instances! This one did not disappoint! And since Annie's is known for using real ingredients, I felt a little better about feeding it to my youngins. 

We went to our local Target store, and we chose the Lasagna With Meat Sauce family size meal. Simple cooking directions, and we had dinner! Took very little time, and not only myself, but my toddler and husband, agreed that it was delicious! (And let me tell you, those two are TOUGH critics. 

I'd like to share a $2 off any Annie's Family Size Frozen Meal coupon with my readers!

Disclosure : I was provided a coupon from Influenster for a free product. All opinions noted are my own.

This week my feature is the Irish Soda bread from The Crafty Lumberjacks! Being an irish gal myself, I loooooove seeing the deliciousness that people make for St. Patrick's day! :)

St Patrick's Day Ink Pad Fun!

Getting a toddler and a 6 month old (what?!?!?) to listen and cooperate is definitely not the easiest thing in the world to do. Thanks to fun times at daycare, Piper absolutely LOVES making hand prints. So I figured, why not take advantage of that fact, and do a project that she will easily cooperate with?

I started off by making a header in photo shop, and printing it on a thick linen cardstock.

 I kept it pretty basic here. Next step, is to find a lovely assistant!

Miss P fits the bill!

Getting all ink covered is some HARD work!

We did both hands on the bottom, and then we used thumbprints to make the smaller 4 leaf clovers in the center.

Next step was to find some adorable chubby baby feet! Mr I fit the bill here!

Filled in the blank space with Ian's footprints, and ta-dahhhhhh! Personalized artwork! I think I want to make a field of thumbprint clovers now....

Awesome Things

This week my feature is the thumbprint family tree from day2day SuperMom!  I love personalized art such as handprints, fingerprints, and footprints, and this caught my attention because it looks so polished, as well as still being personal!

1. Jessica's pick:  Lego Activity table by My Creative Days

2. Victoria's pick:  Thumbprint family tree by Day2day Super mom

3. Krystal's pick:  DIY Burlap wood LOVE sign by Burlap and Bananas

4. Ashley's pick:  Love sign by My Creative Days

5. Randi's pick:  Colorful Reversible Necklaces by Jewelry Making Journal
