Pinterest overload

I am kind of behind on my Pinterest a day. We have done lots of pins but I couldn't exactly tell you what day we did each one.
Here are a few that we have done

Homemade all purpose cleaner.
I love this one. With little kids I don't want anything that could harm them so I had been buying expensive green cleaner with ok results.I used ingredients that we already have and it worked amazing!!! It just uses vinegar, baking soda, dish soap and water. Definitely 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brownie gift mix
This was lots of fun and very easy. Lance loved helping me measure and layer the brownie mix ingredients. We put them in the pampered chef batter bowl and everything fit perfect! This will be a perfect gift for teachers and they get a useful batter bowl with a lid when they are done. All they have to do is add 3 eggs, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup of oil to make some superb home made brownies. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Name signs
This was so easy! I just used tape to spell out the kids' names on canvas and they painted the canvas. When it drys you peel off the tape revealing their name. Lance and Lexie love to paint so of course this is a huge hit! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chicken pillows
Omg! These are amazing!!! Here is a link to get the recipe

My only tip is don't use cheap crescent rolls. They don't stretch and can make it very challenging to make the "pillows"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pumpkin spice cookies
This was really good but very sticky. All you need is one can of pumpkin and one box spice cake mix. Seriously, that is it!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Croc-pot baked apples
These were so yummy and made the whole house smell so good!! They taste just like apple pie without the fattening crust. Here is a link for those http://skinnychef.com/recipes/baked-apples
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hand print Turkeys
We have already started making cards for people since Thanksgiving is coming up. We found all sorts of ways to make turkeys using the kids hand prints. It is so much fun painting with the kids. It can be a little challenging at times trying to supervise both kids, but it is lots of fun. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Applebee's Garlic Mashed Potatoes
I made these as a side to our chicken pillows. We all loved them!! Lance ate 3 helpings of them. http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/635135-Applebee-s-Garlic-Mashed-Potatoes
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Emergency contact stickers for car seats
I thought this was genius! I printed out a list of emergency contacts on address labels and stuck on the kid's car seats. God forbid, but what if we were in a bad accident. What if mom and/or dad were hurt bad. This would give them a list of people to call besides just us. There is a chance they may not see the stickers but there is a BIG chance they will, especially since I told Lance about them. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


If you can't tell, I am really enjoying Pinterest!! I am not that creative so Pinterest is a great help!
