While celebrations like the Fourth of July, Halloween, and Christmas have a plethora of festive treats and projects, holidays like St. Patrick’s Day are often forgotten.

Of course, there are parades and parties, but families don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day like they do the other holidays.

Get in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day by wearing green from head to toe and working with your family to catch a leprechaun with this free, printable leprechaun trap!

And then go make this Leprechaun Bait, the perfect kid-friendly Saint Patrick’s Day treat!

Personal Creations made a delicious recipe for this snack bait and created printables to help catch your leprechaun too. The first step to catching a leprechaun is to make a delicious snack to act as bait.

Be sure to make extra because you and your little ones will love it as well! A salty and sweet treat mix is the traditional lure, but there is also a yummy healthy option.

Simply mix together square rice cereal, popcorn, pretzels, marshmallows, chocolate candies, melted white chocolate (with green food coloring), and green sprinkles.

How to Dye Pasta

February 19, 2019

Wondering how to dye pasta? It’s SO easy! Today’s post will show you how!

Dyeing pasta is one of those activities from my teaching days that I’ve used as a parent again and again.

It’s quick, it’s easy, and there are so many things you can do with the colored pasta! Sorting activities, patterns, noodle necklaces…the sky’s the limit.

So today, I’m sharing with you all about how to dye pasta! Pick up a few extra boxes this week at the grocery store , make a big batch, and see what imaginative ideas spring to mind!

Here’s what you need:

Boxes of Pasta
Rubbing Alcohol
Food Coloring

Step 1: Take your pasta and separate it into plastic baggies. Just as an FYI-I try to buy different shapes/sizes for variety and to use for sorting activities…but also make sure to have some sort of tube pasta for necklaces!

Step 2: Into each baggie, pour a couple of teaspoons of rubbing alcohol, and a few drops of food coloring. The more food coloring, the deeper the hue (I used roughly half a bottle per bag, but you can definitely use less).

Step 3: Close the bag, double bag it if you’d like, and then, (this is where it gets fun)-shake, shake, shake! The kiddos love helping with this part, as you can imagine.

Step 4: If the color is where you want it, lay pasta out in the sun to dry for a few hours. Once completely dry, store in a plastic bag.

How would you use colored pasta with your kids?

DIY Air Freshener {How to Make Your Own Home Air Fresheners}

February 4, 2019

Sharing 10 DIY air freshener recipes that are easy to make and smell great! Pick your mood and spray accordingly to make your house smell fresh, naturally!

Air fresheners purchased at the store can contain harmful chemicals, and you can definitely smell them! It’s a good thing you can easily make homemade air freshener with a few ingredients that you likely have around the house.

All you will need to do is collect your materials, pick your fragrance and combine them in a spray bottle. Now, you will want to use the correct amounts to get the desired effect. You don’t want to have too much or too little essential oil or you risk it being too strong or too weak.

The folks at Simply Self Storage put together a list of 10 DIY Air Freshener recipes that range from fresh and clean to relaxing or invigorating.

Here’s the infographic for how to make 10 DIY Air Fresheners, scroll down for all the recipes!

How to Make DIY Air Freshener in 3 Simple Steps

To make your own homemade air freshener to use around the house just follow the steps below. It’s incredibly easy. Once you get the hang of it you can mix and match scents and play with the strength of the concoction!

1. Gather Your Materials

To make these air fresheners you will need a base of 3 ingredients, and then you will swap out the scents as you wish. You will want a spray bottle that fits 8 ounces, a funnel, distilled water (if you don’t have distilled, tap is fine), and two tablespoons of either 60+ proof vodka or rubbing alcohol.

Vodka and rubbing alcohol both have ethanol which is used to solubilize (or dissolve) the oil into the water and acts as a preservative. They also have mild disinfectant properties.

2. Pick Your Scent

Next, you will want to pick the scent you will be using for your DIY Air Freshener.

Citrus scents will feel more invigorating and refreshing, while scents like lavender and chamomile can be soothing. Mix and match until you find a scent that is uniquely yours.

3. Combine Ingredients and Shake

Finally, just grab the spray bottle and use the funnel to pour in about 1 cup of water. You can double the recipe if you want to make 2 cups of air freshener or find the smell too overpowering. Lastly, drop in the prescribed amount of essential oil and shake it up.

10 DIY Air Freshener Recipes

These essential oil air freshener recipes range from invigorating to earthy and are incredibly simple to make.

1. Lemon-Basil

This air freshener has a fresh and clean scent, perfect for a light and bright home. Lemon essential oil is said to nourish the skin while the basil balances with its earthy tones.

1 cup water
2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol
5 or 6 leaves of fresh basil
5 drops lemon essential oil

2. Tea Tree Eucalyptus

With its herb-like aroma, tea tree essential oil mixed with eucalyptus produces an invigorating scent. The mix also acts as a natural deodorizer for fresh, clean air!

1 cup water
2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol
4 drops tea tree oil
6 drops eucalyptus essential oil
5 drops lemon essential oil

3. Lavender Chamomile

Relaxing and sweet, this aroma is best to help you wind down after a long day. Spray it on your pillow before bedtime for instant relaxation.

1 cup water
2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol
10 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops chamomile essential oil

4. Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lime

Room spray with citrusy notes can provide the opposite effect. Spray this in the morning when you are gearing up for your day for a refreshing boost.

1 cup water
2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol
3 drops grapefruit essential oil
3 drops tangerine essential oil
3 drops lime essential oil

5. Orange Rose

This combination is romantic and revitalizing, great for a soft, feminine atmosphere or anyone who needs a mood boost.

1 cup water
2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol
7 drops of orange essential oil
7 drops of rose essential oil

6. Citrus Lavender

Calming yet rejuvenating, this room spray has the best of both worlds. Spray it before your big meeting or interview to relax and awaken your mind.

1 cup water
2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol
5 drops of lavender essential oil
5 drops of orange essential oil
5 drops of tangerine essential oil

7. Invigorating Mint

Just like the name says, the peppermint in this air freshener will open your eyes and get you ready to greet the day. Spray it in the mornings or any time you need a little pick-me-up.

1 cup water
2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol
7 drops of orange essential oil
7 drops of peppermint essential oil

8. Sandalwood

The masculine scent of sandalwood mixed with the earthy tones in the tea tree oil make this a lovely scent for your man cave. The lemon adds a hint of brightness to the concoction.

1 cup water
2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol
5 drops of sandalwood essential oil
5 drops of tea tree oil
5 drops lemon essential oil

9. Pure and Simple

This simple, classic scent feels refreshing and clean. Spray it on your fresh linens!

1 cup water
2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol
5 drops lemon essential oil
5 drops lavender
5 drops rosemary

10. Healing Herbs

Eucalyptus and tea tree oil are known for their healing properties, and this freshener has an earthy scent perfect for your zen space.

1 cup water
2 tablespoons vodka or rubbing alcohol
7 drops eucalyptus essential oil
7 drops rosemary essential oil
5 drops tea tree essential oil

Using these homemade air fresheners around your home will help keep your space deodorized and smelling fresh. Depending on your mood you can mix and match recipes or stick to a favorite.

Either way, your family will be reaping the benefits of a natural, inexpensive DIY concoction!
