Have you tried hot chocolate bombs? They are the newest food trend. We couldn’t stop with hot cocoa, we had to make the best coffee bombs too. Mixing chocolate and espresso, these mocha coffee bombs hit the sweet spot.

The Best Coffee Bombs

I remember the first time I was introduced to fusion food. It was the early 2000s and I recall going to a restaurant that mixed all sorts of flavors together. I do not recall the meal, very well, but I do remember the still water was $4 – isn’t that crazy? I also recall that the dessert was a hamburger made with chocolate and a donut. The restaurant didn’t make it long (perhaps because of the expensive water, perhaps because it was a little ahead of it’s time for the area I lived), but my love of fusion was built during that time.

When I think of coffee bombs and hot chocolate bombs, I think of fusion food. It is mixing something creative and unique and creates a beautiful display – sometimes too beautiful to enjoy or eat. Since I love chocolate drinks, but don’t drink hot chocolate enough, I wanted to create my love of chocolate with my love of a need – coffee.

What is a coffee bomb?

To first answer what is a coffee bomb, you must know what is a chocolate bomb? A coffee bomb, similar to a chocolate bomb, is a round hard shelled chocolate ball with instant coffee inside. When added to hot milk it breaks apart and creates a Mocha Coffee. Chocolate bombs and coffee bombs are fun recipes you can make at home that are excellent for gift giving.

If you love Coffee, you likely love Starbucks. Look at our Starbucks Inspired Chocolate Bombs too!

Mocha Coffee Bombs

With instant espresso powder and some hot milk, you can create your own chocolate latte bomb in a matter of seconds. The hardest part is the prep but we promise that taste is well worth the effort!

Makes 6 bombs
Prep time: 30 minutes
Setting time: 4 hours

Coffee Bomb Ingredients

1 12-ounce package dark chocolate chips
6 tablespoons instant espresso powder
¼ cup white melting chocolate
6 cups hot milk to make the bombs

In addition to the Mocha Coffee ingredients, you will also need a round silicone mold.

Gift giving? Have these plastic chocolate bomb containers for gifting coffee chocolate bombs.

Coffee Bomb Recipe Directions

It is really easy to make Coffee Hot Chocolate Bombs. Follow the following directions to get your started.

First, place one 12-ounce package of dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the dark chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted.

Next, take a spoonful of melted chocolate inside a half circle of the silicone mold. Use the back of the spoon to spread the chocolate up the sides of the rubber mold. Continue this process until all the molds are coated (approximately 12 half circles).

Set the remaining melted chocolate aside for sealing and decorating the bombs.

Allow the chocolate in the molds to set completely, around 2 to 3 hours. You can speed up the process by placing the chocolate in the refrigerator.

When the chocolate is set, remove each of the chocolate pieces from the mold. Add around one tablespoon of instant espresso powder in each piece.

Reheat the dark chocolate in the bowl in 15 second intervals until melted. Pick up an empty chocolate piece and dip the edges into the melted chocolate. Carefully place it on top of a filled piece and lightly press it into place. Using your finger, smooth melted chocolate around the seam. Continue until all the chocolate bombs are sealed.

Melt the white chocolate according to the package instructions, then place the melted white chocolate into piping bags. Lightly drizzle white chocolate over the top of the bombs to decorate.

Allow the chocolate decorations to set before using, around 1 hour.

To make the mocha bombs, place the bomb in the bottom of a mug. Pour one cup of hot milk over the top of the bomb to melt the chocolate. When the chocolate is completely melted, stir to combine.

Enjoy or wrap in hot chocolate bomb plastic containers for Hot Chocolate Bomb gift giving.

Coffee Bombs Gifts

As a former teacher, I can tell you coffee was one of my favorite gifts. I did not enjoy a coffee gift for the holiday season but the “just because I was thinking of you” type of day. If you want to give a teacher some thanks, attach our adorable C is for Caffeine or I Like you A Latte Gift Tags.

If you are a REALLY amazing parent, drive through the Starbucks line and order hot milk before you bring your child to school. Drop the Mocha Coffee Bomb and the hot milk off in your child’s classroom as a “just because” thankful Thursday gift.

Air Fryer Cheat Sheet

Answering simple questions like What is an Air Fryer and What are the Benefits of Owning One? For those rocking this kitchen appliance, we have a Air Fryer Cheat Sheet Printable PDF you can instantly download and access. This kitchen hack is perfect for busy moms on the go!

Air Fryer Cheat Sheet

I have emphasized in almost every post on this blog my need to find hacks in the most every day situation. I hate digging for recipes, the only thing that organized my family was a printable family command center in one place, and I am constantly chasing busy mom hacks for my family of seven. If you want to hang with me and follow these mom hacks and tips, take a look at this newest helper – the Air Fryer Cheat Sheet cooking chart.

What is an Air Fryer

First… Ashley, what is an air fryer? While air fryer ovens have been around for awhile, I too was like – what is an air fryer? It wasn’t until a few years ago that this product became coveted by myself and many American families.

An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that cooks food while circulating hot air similar to a convection oven. A mechanical fan circulates the hot air around the food at high speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy brown layer. Despite the misleading word fry, there is no frying involved in an air fryer. When air frying, there is no need to add oil, which makes it healthier for your family.

You can see some of our Easy Air Fryer Recipes for Beginners.

Is an Air Fryer Worth It?

There are many Air fryer benefits for your family. First the air fryer is a small appliance that can be stored in your kitchen cabinets or pantry. Easy clean up.

There are air frying health benefits. An air fryer oven produces low fat entrees and sides. The air fryer appliance uses hot-air circulation cooking your your food from all angles with no oil needed! Lastly, you remove that unwanted aroma from your home that is often produced with deep frying food.

Do I need an Air Fryer?

You do not necessarily need an air fryer. You can produce similar outcomes on your dinner entrees and low-fat sides if you use a convection oven. However, many homes are not equip with a convection oven and replacing your kitchen oven can be quite costly. Some people use Toaster Ovens but a toaster oven will not feed a family of four – there is limited space or volume!

Amazon Best Seller Air Fryer

These are the Amazon Best Seller Air Fryers.

First, COSORI Air Fryer,Max XL is a 5.8 Quart Air Fryer.

For my family, that was a bit too small. The largest air fryer is the GoWISE USA Deluxe 12.7 Quart Air Fryer. It also is a Rotisserie and Dehydrator. You will pay for those extra features.

You might want to settle for the Ultrean 8.5 Quart Air Fryer for easy storage.

Air Fryer Cheat Sheet Printable

If your family is looking to add healthier dinners to your weekly menu plan, an air fryer is of course a very helpful kitchen appliance. Being a busy mom and needing all the mom tips and tricks I can get, I bring to you the Air Fryer Cheat Sheet Printable.

I keep a copy of this Air Fryer Cook Times Cheat Sheet in my Recipe Binder. (Another suggestion would be to laminate this cooking chart sheet and keep it beside your air fryer for times and temperatures. Laminating this air fryer tip guide will keep it clean and easy to wipe.)

Summer Camp Hacks & Tips

July 8, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media, Summer Leave a Comment

Whether you’re sending your kid to sleepaway camp for the first time or they’re a seasoned pro, this ultimate list of Summer Camp Hacks is a must! From free printables, to summer camp packing lists, to camping tips and tricks, there’s something for every little camper who’s going away for a few weeks. This list of summer camp ideas will have you all set to go for your outdoor summer adventure away from home.

Summer Camp Hacks & Tips

Last year was my first official experience with prepping for summer camp, and it was a crazy time! My girls had their first sleepaway camp experience, spending two weeks away from home. One of my girls had never even had a successful overnight out of the home without a family member. So, since I was already quite anxious about her being away for two whole weeks, I began the process of doing everything I could to prepare the girls for summer sleepaway camp. I wanted to gather all of the best camp tips to make their experience as comfortable and fun as possible!

What should you NOT bring to summer camp?

We’re about to dive into all the things you should bring to summer camp, but first, make sure to leave these items at home. Camp isn’t anything fancy, and you should only bring what you really need. We don’t recommend that you bring…

Valuable or expensive items, like jewelry or nice watches
Anything so sentimental that you don’t want to risk it getting damaged or lost
Food (Many camps don’t allow food in to keep critters out)
Phones, laptops, etc. (Summer camps are all about unplugging and having fun without your devices!)

How do you pack a summer camp trunk?

When you’re packing all your things away for the summer, make sure that your kids’ necessities and everyday items are towards the top, while less frequently used items are towards the bottom. This will help them access everything easily. Also, it’s a good idea to pack their towels and sheets at the very top of the trunk. These will be the first items they need to use when they are setting up their bunk.

Camping as a family or with the girls? Take a look at our Girls Clamping Ideas as well as our Camping Hacks and Tips. Also make sure you and your little girls watch American Girl Story Summer Camp (for free with Amazon Prime) before you go!

Summer Camp Packing Tips

You’ve got to be smart about packing for summer camp! Check out these summer camp packing tips and tricks to make the most out of what you bring.

First, you need a camp trunk — not a suitcase. I learned this a little late in the game. For our first mommy/daughter camp we went to, we brought a suitcase and it was quite a challenge to get through the mountains.

We learned our lesson on that first trip. Having a trunk to open and close every day was much more efficient for our girls. Camp Trunks are so affordable on Amazon.

This is the summer camp trunk that we got. The price was great! If I had to change one thing, it would be to get a trunk that’s a little bit larger, but now their trunks are totally personalized with stickers so they’re here to stay. stickers.

I thought I did amazing things with my girls’ trunks, but woah — Ashley has done something even greater! This frugal-friendly, customized summer camp trunk tutorial will make your kid’s trunk just as unique as they are. | Lil Blue Boo

We have a freebie for you. Download and print this kids Summer Camp Packing list by being a member of our email list. This is primarily for sleep away summer camp but you can, of course, leave off the things not needed for overnights (like sleeping bags) if you are going to a day summer camp.

I am happy to share printables. When sharing with others, please lead them to my website instead of emailing them the file(s). It takes time, effort and money to put the freebies forth and I earn when you visit. Thanks for visiting and thanks for sharing with others!

Camp Hair Don’t Care! Keeping your hair in check is quite hard when showering in the mountains, so we’ve learned some camp tips for hair the hard way. Make sure to pack hats, a lot of hair ties (for getting lost sharing a big cabin) and bandanas. Don’t forget to pick up the Camp Hair Don’t Care tees!

Every VSCO girl and summer camper needs a metal Hydro Flask water bottle to refill with their name in Sharpie underneath. Camp VSCO stickers allows kids to personalize their canteen. For your camp water bottle, grab small stickers during your travels and add them on or grab camp Hydro Flask stickers from Amazon. They have some really cute options! You can use these stickers to personalize your camp trunk too. | Source

Friendship bracelets are one of the best activities at summer camp! Use your water bottle as a base for friendship bracelet making. Make sure to pack Embroidery Floss for yourself and a lot extra for friends. It will be very popular! | Source

Summer camp schedules keep the kids pretty busy, but there’s more downtime than you might think. For a fun and memorable camp experience, have your child bring some printables to complete during their free time. We love these printable Mad Libs from Woo Jr. You could also grab this summer camp Mad Libs book.

Remember that free time we spoke about? Pack a book (or two for bookworms or long stays at camp). My daughter worked on the Camp Confidential series while she was away at camp.

Tip: Curious about the book rating or what other thing, visit Common Sense Media to search book titles.

Most of the time, when the counselors say “lights out” they mean it. However, having a battery operated book light can be good for girls who want to read later into the evening before the official “bedtime hour.”

We also suggest bringing battery operated string lights – such a cute touch to a bunk and cabin.

Make sure you have a battery operated fan. The evenings can be extremely hot (or extreme cold – pack a sweat shirt) and plugs are hard to come by. A battery operated fan should give you enough life to get through your summer camp stay. If staying for a prolonged time, make sure to pack extra batteries. | Camp Greystone

It is inevitable kids get home sick. Sleep away summer camp is sure to busy them and exhaust them so they fall straight asleep, but having little photos from home will remind them of their loved ones. Allow your kids to bring some things to personalize their space including photos, lovies, or little mementos. Washi tape will help them hang their prints. | Camp Greystone

For our two-week summer camp, the parents have the ability to email! Letters are printed out and delivered to the kids. However, the children can’t send emails back, so snail mail it is. Make sure to pack your child summer camp stationary. Do not forget the stamps and an extra pen or two.

This is the stationary set that we ordered. It came with an address book for collecting addresses for friends. It comes in two styles.

Camp Letter Printable

We also have a free printable letter from camp! This one comes in a cute newspaper design and guides your kids with things to write – things you would likely ask them and want to hear about!

Our camp uploads photos of the kids to albums. Each day parents can visit to see what the kids are doing. I save those photos and then turn them into a fun little postcard that I get mailed from Postable. This lets them see the fun things they have done and gives them something to hang on their bunk.

If you want to ship a postcard form Postable, sign up today. You can $5 off any order of $20. Use promo code MRK8UR86JF at checkout.

How to Make a Postcard for Summer Camp

Below is a tutorial of how to make a postcard for summer camp using Postable and PicMonkey.

Sign up for Postable
Sign up for Picmonkey.
Using Picmonkey, create a collage of photos (I chose to do something with the size ratio of 5×7.)
Save your collage.
On Postable, go to “upload your own” on the top menu of the website.
I chose size flat vertical 5×7 (you could also do horizontal layout or a folded card.)
Upload your saved Picmonkey collage.
Write your message
Address your card.
Checkout. You can $5 off any order of $20. Use promo code MRK8UR86JF at checkout.

My kids are at summer camp for two weeks, so I get these postcards made early in their stay so that they get it in time before leaving. Postable also has options (like the hiking card above) if you wish not to make your own photo collage online.

One of my top summer camp tips? Label it all! Label all clothing, all accessories, all shoes, etc. Even label your kids underwear. We picked up a pack of Mabel’s Labels Camp Labels.

Looking inside of a trunk can be very overwhelming. Organize clothes by day of the week or type/style using Ziploc Gallon Bags or Packing Cubes (my choice!) | Kelly Elko

The KAVU Rope Bag camping backpack is great and very popular for summer camping. It can be pricey so I monitored it during the off season and gifted it to my girls for a spring holiday.

There are so many patterns on Amazon. I went through all the patterns and looked for those that were most discounted. I added those to my cart and then selected my favorite at the end. If you want something more frugal-friendly, Ambry makes a similar discounted Rope Sling Bag.

Kids get so excited to receive care packages from home! Hit up the Dollar Tree and wrap really small items or go for a bigger package with larger treats. We also came up with this Summer Camp Candy Notes (though many places will not allow you to send in candy anymore.)

Speaking of backpacks Grab a white pillow case, white t-shirt or white backpack (like we did) and download this Straight Out of Camp Iron On. Perfect for friends to sign at the end of the week!

Also enjoy these outdoor backyard games. Perfect for youth groups, summer camps and other activities under the sun! Mix it up with these Minute to Win it games for a quicker pace.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Staples Online Printing: How to Print Documents

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

June 25, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Coupons, Online Shopping, Printable, Retail 1 Comment

Staples Online Printing –Everything you need to know to print documents online, including how to upload printables to Staples Printing Services. Have them shipped to your home or pick them up in the store! Includes directions to print B&W or color documents, portrait or landscape orientation, how to print on cardstock and cover stock for durability, AND Staples printing prices!

Staples Online Printing

Staples printing services is my first choice for all my printable needs on Frugal Coupon Living. There are many reasons, but these are my top three.

First off, Staples Online Printing offers AMAZING quality. The printables I give you on Frugal Coupon Living often need to be printed on cover stock with bright colors for the best results(after all, we aren’t dull.) I find that the quality that Staples online printing delivers is great and very vibrant. If you’re looking to print posters, you’ll want to use Staples poster printing to get that vibrancy and quality.

Second, the Staples printing department is great. The employees aren’t just helpful —they’re friendly, too! They actually love when I use their services and look forward to the different documents I submit for printing, since they stray from the regular old business documents they normally receive. They now know me by name and by brand.

Finally, I save. After all, this is Frugal Coupon Living! I save money on both printer ink and cardstock. Those goods can get pretty pricey, so I leave the supplies (the ink and paper) to the Staple pros to provide. It keeps me sane and keeps from a place where I’m low on printer ink all the time! (It was all the time before I was using Staples online printing services.)

How to Print Documents from Staples

We have tons of free printables for you on Frugal Coupon Living. Here are few places to find these prints!

It will take you less than five minutes to upload your first document to Staples. Yes, five!

Enjoy the video above for directions on how to print at Staples. The video steps have changed some but mostly are telling off all the choices you have when it comes to printing at staples. The following steps below are up to date as of March 2021.

How to Print at Staples

Have your PDF, Word Document or printable saved to a folder on your computer.
Sign in or create a Staples account.
Return to the Staples Printing Service Page.
Scroll down to Document printing.
Click the red button, start creating.
On the next page you can choose between simple print and professional print. Choose professional print as there are more Staples printing options.
Click start project under professional printing.
Browse your files and upload your document from your computer.
Next choose your paper size from letter, legal, ledger.
Also select your document orientation from portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal).
I suggest checking scale to fit and unchecking double sided.
Click Next.
On the next page choose your paper type: I like premium/specialty paper in white coverstock 110 lb. This is great for crafts for prints you want to frame.
Choose next.
Choose your color options: color or black and white.
Choose next.
Choose your binding option including comb, coil, cover binder, 3 ring binder, or stapled: In most cases, I choose no binding.
Choose next.
Choose finishing including lamination, folding, cutting or hole punching. Since I like control, I choose no finishing.
Choose next.
Choose your print options. This is where you can rename your document and choose your number of copies. When it comes to prints I want to frame or craft with, I often choose 2 copies so I have ab ack up for mistakes.
Choose delivery (you can still pick up in store). You will be promoted to sign in again or create an account if you have not already signed in.
Next choose your delivery option including ground, express or expedited. Or choose pickup in-store including standard or express. Standard has never gone me wrong, especially on smaller print jobs. If you choose pickup in-store, make sure you find the store closest to you entering your zip code.
Click the red button, add to cart.
Follow the steps for a secure checkout.

You can choose to ship to your home or to pick up at your local store. Pay online and show your invoice when you pick up (I just show the order number on my phone at pick-up.) The order invoice will arrive in your email inbox.

Staples Printing Cost

Printing to Staples is extremely affordable. I print often and have a lot of content, so I rely on Staples online printing to deliver amazing quality (they always do!). I find Staples Printing Costs to be far lower than the cardstock and printer ink it costs me to keep up with my demand at home.

A break down of pricing…

While you can get as low as $0.13 for a color copy, I am never printing more than 50 pages. I typically spend $0.53 for a color copy. Usually, I’m printing around 10 at a time.

I also choose a 67 lb card/cover stock media, so this adds around $0.10 per print. This typically puts my ordercost around $0.60 to $5.00!

I’d recommend you opt for free shipping to your local store for pick-up. This is often the route I take, unless I have an extra large order and want my order to come straight to me. Shipping starts at $9.99!

Staples Printing Coupon

There are a few ways to get Staples Printing Coupons.

First, be a loyal costumer. You can sign up for Staples Rewards here.

Staples Rewards

Benefits of Staples Rewards include $25 off Print & Marketing Services in store each year! Additional reward benefits include free next-day delivery on orders over $49.99. My favorite perk is earning $2 back in rewards per recycled ink cartridge (up to 20 per month.) That means you could earn up to $40 a month in recycled ink cartridges! Ready to join? Sign up here!

Second, pay attention to your receipts. Often during in-store pick-up for a document, I am given a coupon for my next Staples printing need. I just stack those coupons in my car for next time.

Third, look online. You can look for Staples coupon codes and promo discounts on Savings.com.

look forward to hearing about your experience with Staples online printing. I’m sure they will quickly become your number one place to print your documents!

Christian Elf on the Shelf Alternatives

If Elf on the Shelf isn’t your thing, first we say – “why not!?!” Ha, ha. Really no judgment. We have some Christian Elf on the Shelf Alternatives for your holiday season.

The most popular is the Shepherd On the Search Advent Activity Set from DaySpring.

Embark on a family journey and find Christ in Christmas! During the Advent season, begin reading the story of your shepherd’s timeless journey in a beautifully illustrated interactive children’s book, and let the fun begin every day as you hide your shepherd and your children find him in a new place along the search

Also take a look at The Little Christmas Angel by Peggy Barons.

This boxed gift set contains one hardcover color illustrated children’s book, with beautifully designed Christmas Angel doll. The story begins in ancient Bethlehem, but quickly moves into modern times taking the reader on a lively journey with a little angel, right into their own home.

Similar to an advent calendar and a blend of Elf on the Shelf, the Christmas Star From Afar has a hidden star to create a fun and challenging hide-and-seek Christmas game for kids of all ages.

This Gift Set includes soft cover book and 15 piece wooden nativity set additional items – The Star From Afar Stable Animals and Scripture Cards! To play, Set up your nativity. Hide the Star every night. Once your children find the Star move all Three Wise Men to its location.

Also take a look at The Shepherd’s Treasure Book. An advent calendar that eventually brings the gift of Jesus.

The Shepherd’s Treasure is a faith based countdown to Christmas. During the month of December, children follow their Shepherd on a fun, interactive treasure hunt to find the true meaning of Christmas. On Christmas morning, they find their Shepherd kneeling before the greatest treasure of all time: JESUS!
