Big Bows & Tippy Toes: Birthday Pettiskirt Set

Birthdays come but once a year, and I know that there are only so many birthdays that my little girl will be little for (and let me dress her up!).  At some point she will want to have a party with her friends or not have a party at all- so I cherish each and every party that she is still my 'little girl' during.

I can't believe I didn't make these sooner. They are simple, affordable and the kids chow fruit when they are on a stick for some reason! We use this fun snack for birthday parties, BBQ's and when it gets real hot, we stick them in the freezer and have have Frozen Rainbows! The ingredients you will use will be based on the season and what area you live in. As you can see above, I have no 'blue fruit' on my rainbow stick, blueberries were sold out of the first store I went to and second store wanted 6.99 for a tiny container! The amount of fruit you need depends completely on how many sticks you need … [Read more...]
