My girls love to work together and do different projects with my husband and I. We always have something going on around the house, but sometimes are at a loss at coming up with something specifically special just for them. With Crafters Crate, my girls had a variety of projects that they could do either on their own or with a little bit of help.

About Crafters Crate:

When you sign up for CraftersCrate, each month you will receive a box full of craft kits curated for your girl. Each crate includes 4-5 crafts and activities as well as all the materials you need to complete them.

CraftersCrate is suggested for girls ages 5 to 10, but they have members that are even as young as 3 and as old as 12. It truly depends on the child and how much time you want to spend helping them with the craft time.

CraftersCrate Story:

Rachael, CraftersCrate Founder, was not your typical “crafty mom” and so she definitely didn’t have a room full of craft supplies ready to go right away. After she had her daughter, she began to realize its hard to find good craft and activities. She did find many projects on Pinterest, but in order to get everything together to complete one kids craft was a job in itself.

With summer here, we constantly have our barbecue grill out. My husband being a cattle farmer means that we often have a lot of beef. Nothing is better than a good steak at home with ones you love. The wonderful Swamp People Marinade, Steak Sauce, and Hot Sauce has been a great addition to our Barbecues.

About Swamp People Sauces:

These great sauces are inspired by the characters, culture, and gustatory delights of Cajun Country, hunters, grillers, Cajun cooks, or series fanatics.

Sauces Include:

Tree Breaka Cajun Steak Sauce
Mudda Fricks Horseradish BBQ Sauce
No Guts, No Gator Habanero Salsa
Tree Shaka Cocktail Sauce
Pierre Part Inhospitable Hot Sauce

My Thoughts:

I was very impressed with the Sauces. When we had steak this past weekend we were very excited to try out the new steak sauces. The Swamp People Louisiana Critter Marinade was wonderful. I put it on my steaks about 30 minutes or so before we were going to grill them. They were absolutely amazing. Occasionally I do like having some steak sauce with my steaks, and I will admit that the Tree Breaka Cajun Steak Sauce was great.

Home Made Moon Sand- Great Kids Activity

June 4, 2014 by Danielle 4 Comments

My girls absolutely love to play outside. I always love to try new things to change up our normal activities. Moon Sand was definitely a great fit for us. I have been wanting to try it out for awhile, but never really had a big enough container to put it in.

I went on a mission to buy everything that I needed for my girls to be able to play with the Moon Sand.

How To:

1 5lb Bag of Flour
2 Cups of Baby Oil

Pour the Bag of flour and the cups of Baby Oil into a big container. You then just have to mix with your hands until it is a nice smooth, powdery mixture.

I chose to make a double of this batch so that we had a good decent amount to out in our big container. I then gave my girls some measuring cups and spoons, as well as some plastic cups to play with.

Who doesn’t absolutely love smelling nice 🙂 ? I know that even on drab days smelling good makes me happy. I was very happy to try out some awesome new fragrances from Masik Collegiate Fragrances.

About Masik Collegiate Fragrances:

Masik Collegiate Fragrances was founded by CEO, Katie Masik, in 2008. A Chemical Engineering graduate from Bucknell University, she spent the early part of her career in the energy industry. However, an entrepreneur at heart, she grew restless after several years and was ready for a change.

Katie has always loved perfume. She said that even when she was little, she would spend a great deal of time smelling perfumes in the stores. She wanted to take a different angle and somehow create more individualized fragrances that would celebrate a part of everyone. One day Katie was able to realize exactly what her goal was- to create different signature scent men’s and women’s fragrances for universities – a celebration of college and a unique way for alumni and fans to show school spirit. She really wanted the scents to be special and inspired by elements such as school colors, campus style, flowers and trees, traditions and locations. She also wanted the schools themselves to be involved in the process.
