Tasty Sprinkle Cupcakes!

For some reason, I felt the need to bake something.  So, I turned to my favorite little girl and she said, how about if we make some cupcakes.  I looked at her and said, what kind of cupcakes? With her most excited face, she replied sprinkle cupcakes.  And that is what we ended up making.  Not just sprinkle cupcakes, but with some color to it.  

I had a box of cupcake mix in the pantry and prepared the batter, with my lovely assistant.   I poured the batter in various bowls and asked Sophia to help me pour some food coloring in each of the bowls.  By the look on her face, she sure enjoyed it.  Now, we are ready to pre-heat the oven to the right temperature.  

Next, we were ready to pour the colorful mixture of batter in the cupcake pan and placed  it in the oven. Then came the time to wait for the cupcakes to bake. Tick, tock, tick, tock. Sophia waited by the oven calling out every few minutes, that they are getting bigger mama.  She sure put a smile on my face. I stuck a toothpick in the center and it came out clear so I knew the cupcakes were ready. We took them out of the oven and let them cool down.

Can't have cupcakes without the icing, so off to make some homemade icing with a little bit of food color.  So, now we have different color icing.  These cupcakes will be too cute to eat, yeah right! Not for Sophia, she loves icing and will gobble it up.  

Place the icing in some sandwich baggies and snip the end with some scissors. Squeeze the icing on top of each cupcake. Next, it was Sophia's turn to pour the sprinkles on top of the cupcakes.  Looking forward to this moment, Sophia reached for the red sprinkles and poured it all over the cupcakes.  Finally, it was time to take a big bite and eat it with joy.  Here you have our Tasty Sprinkle Cupcakes.  

Now, run along and make your family some Tasty Sprinkle Cupcakes!  Have fun doing it, it sure was a joy for us.

aden + anais dream blanket Review/Giveaway-CLOSED

As a mommy I am always eager to share my great findings with others, especially with other mommies. So when I was given the opportunity to do a review on a aden+anais dream blanket, I was totally excited.  Since my little one loves blankets, I was quite curious to see her reaction. The packaging was really beautiful and welcoming. 

We received the Star Light Dream Blanket and as I was opening the package to take out the blanket, Sophia immediately covered her entire body with it.  She said the blanket smelled fresh, which made me smile and she loves the colorful mixture of polka dots.  Sophia actually started to count the polka dots on the blanket, which kept her occupied and comfortable at the same time.   

Here is a some more information about the Star Light Dream Blanket: "Single 100% cotton muslin blanket. Unique in the marketplace, aden + anais Dream Blankets™ feature soft and breathable muslin cotton, which provides plenty of warmth without overheating. This plush blanket is generously-sized (47” x 47”) and uses four layers of fabric, making it ideal for both infants and toddlers".  I love the fact that the dream blanket comes in several different styles and are durable, gentle, strong, comfortable and breathable. What else can a anyone ask for?  All I would ask for is an adult size dream blanket, where I could cuddle up on the couch just like Sophia.  Isn't that the perfect dream.

Boogie Wipes Review and Giveaway-CLOSED

Ok, I must say a miracle has arrived in my house several weeks ago and I just have to tell everyone about it.  Being a mommy is the most challenging job for anyone.  So, one of my duties is always to find the right product for my little one, when it comes to cleaning her nose and face, especially when she has a cold or a runny nose. It is usually very difficult to wipe her nose without turning red and sore.  I always have to find a wet paper towel or cloth to wipe it off.  It usually takes a few tries before it is all gone.  Now, what I am about to tell you will really open your eyes and make your life and your little one's nose/face a little easier.  Believe me it will make a big difference.  Here we go!

I was given the opportunity to review Boogie Wipes and I was excited.  Here is some more information "Boogie Wipes are made with saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments.  Extra soft, alcohol, phthalate and paraben free, Boogie Wipes are available in Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol and Simply Unscented.  Recommended by pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue"

I use quite a bit of baby wipes on my little one but Boogie Wipes are different.  They are made with saline to remove all the mucus, which does not leave your little one's nose red and sore, which I like a lot.  Here is some more information that you will definitely like as much as I do. "Hypoallergenic • Alcohol Free • Unique Formula Moisturizes with Added Chamomile, Vitamin E and Aloe • Gentle Enough for All Ages • Lightly Scented"  Now, don't you want to know who those amazing women are that created Boogie Wipes.  They are two remarkable entrepreneur-moms, so get to know the Boogie Moms a little better.

Boogie Wipes is giving one of my Show Me MaMa readers 2 packs of 30-count wipes (fresh, grape or menthol-combination varies). Here is how to enter the giveaway.
