You can even jazz up standard popcorn with this idea from Family Fresh Meals. While I’m partial to chocolate, my girls would love adding gummies to theirs! What’s your topping of choice?

Make cookies and milk an extra special treat with fun glasses. I love this idea from Style Me Pretty.

How to Make An Easy Marshmallow Shooter

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

This July Fourth, make sure to add this Easy Marshmallow Shooter to your list of activities for the kids. This DIY Marshmallow Launcher combines a cup, a balloon and many laughs. 

Easy Marshmallow Shooter

Marshmallow Shooters

For obvious reasons, the Fourth of July is always big in our home location of Washington, D.C. Since having the younger kids, however, we do not always get out together in the evening for the big fire works. One of us goes leaving the other home with the kids. It’s a balance as finding a babysitter on July 4th isn’t really an option.  Every time it is my turn to get out with the kids, I get tears in my eyes. Nothing makes you more patriotic than watching fireworks with the National Monument(s) in the background. The years that I stay home with the younger kids, however, the warm feeling of the holiday disappears. It’s just another “day.” To involve the younger kids this year, and still have some holiday fun at home, we created these Marshmallows Shooters.

Add this to your list of Summer Bucket Items and Upcycled Crafts. All it takes is a toilet paper roll, scrap paper and a balloon. Of course you will need marshmallows, use the extra marshmallows to create these Seasonal Rice Krispies Treats.

Marshmallow Launcher Supplies:

  • Toilet paper rolls
  • Scrapbook paper (we used red and white stripe)
  • Balloons (we used blue)
  • Rubber bands
  • Glue stick
  • Marshmallows

Each toilet paper roll and balloon makes one shooter.


DIY Easy Marshmallow Shooters

To create these shooters honestly takes a matter of minutes. The hardest part is getting the perfect cut of scrap paper and gluing it on the toilet paper roll!

Easy Marshmallow Shooter Directions:

First, cut the striped scrapbook paper to fit around the toilet paper roll and glue into place.

Tie a knot in the bottom of a balloon (not inflated).

Next, cut off the top (round part) off the balloon.

Wrap the open end of the balloon around the bottom of the toilet paper roll and secure with a rubber band.

To use, place a marshmallow in the shooter and pull the knotted end back. Let go of the balloon to shoot the marshmallow out.

Our Pinterest community and I  would love to see how this worked out for you. Share your final craft.  Leave a comment and/or add a photo here on Pinterest!

Keep cool this summer with this eos printable gift for friends. This eos Lip Balm cute idea for an end of year or last day of school gift for students and teachers alike! 

EOS Printable – Keep Cool This Summer

Looking for a cute end of the year gift for students or teachers alike? This fun printable incorporates eos lip balm a fun summer wish – keep cool this summer. Use traditional lip balm flavors including sweet mint, passion fruit, strawberry sorbet or tangerine.

Most eos lip balms cost about about $3, so if you are doing this for an entire classroom, expect to pay about $60. You can buy eos bulk on Amazon, but I am not seeing it for much less than $3. In fact, some of the bulk packages cost over $3/piece.  You might be best running up to target and adding a bunch to your shopping cart. I saw them both in the health (near the band-aids) section, on end caps and also near checkout. At Walgreens, I have seen them for B1G1 50% off but they were at $3.99/piece. That would make each the same price as Target (not on sale at $2.99/each.)

If the price becomes too high for you to give to an entire classroom, consider use for a smaller gathering of friends or gift to a teacher! She will appreciate one in her pool bag this summer!

Keep Cool This Summer Supplies:

  • eos Lip Balm
  • eos printable (see below)

From an 80s themed party, neon sweet 16 to a late night summer rage party, have a good time with these must know Glow in the Dark Party Ideas for the kids. Make sure you include the black light!

Glow in the Dark Party Ideas

My research is done. I am so ready to throw one of my kids a glow party! I think I want this themed party as much as them. There are so many cool ideas to pull of the ultimate, most raging, glow-in-the-dark party for the kids.

Keep in mind, for the ultimate glow in the dark party, you will need a black light. Black light allows a neon spectrum, invisible to the natural eye, to glow. Otherwise, you will not have that pop with your colors and things will appear neon but not glow with the lights out!

Black lights emit most of their light waves just outside the range humans can perceive, in the Ultraviolet (UV) part of the spectrum. When a UV light wave hits an object containing substances known as phosphors, those phosphors will naturally fluoresce, and glow. Source: Today I Found Out.

Creative ideas Glow in the Dark Party Ideas for cupcakes, centerpieces, chandeliers, and even the pool – everyone jump in! Add this to your list of Summer Bucket Ideas for the kids!


Not included in this post are a Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt, How to Make a Glowing Egg, and a Glow in the Dark Volcano. Visit these posts if they are relevant to your Glow in the Dark Party.

Memorable Prom Tips – create the ultimate night with these tips from beauty, to decorations, etiquette, photos, style and more. Make it a night to remember, not to regret!

22 Memorable Prom Tips

Prom night can be one of the most fun and memorable events in your high school career. Make sure, on this night, you are bold and confident. It’s okay to go without a date. It’s okay to go with a date. It’s okay to do the asking, boys don’t always have to ask and why not be in charge of who you want to go to prom with? You can even make it a night to remember with your best girlfriends.

Have fun. Your biggest and best high school memories are going to be small moments. That doesn’t mean this big night can’t have smaller events. You aren’t going to remember the entire night but you will have a set of experiences that you file away and pull up later.  Do that sober and excited on juice, apple juice. Be confident, hold a smile, and when something goes wrong, embrace that moment, laugh, and move on. How you handle each smaller moment determines how the bigger night goes.

Are you worried about prom going off without a hitch? We got you covered!  While hiccups always happen, yes – expect the unexpected – we have tips and tricks to help you have the most memorable prom night.

Make it a night to remember, not to regret!


Keep that hair in place! Hold up that hair with this beauty hack. Spray your bobby pins with hair spray before placing them in your hair. This will help with the hold.

Don’t blow the budget. Save money when it comes to the makeup. Kara Larkin Llifestyle has a great list of professional vs drug store makeup swaps still giving you a million dollar look!

Chicks before…. ah forget it. Take photos with your besties. While a boyfriend or prom date might be temporary, many of the friendships will hold strong through the ages – from college, to weddings, to babies and more. Grab some photos with your best girl friends (without the guy!) Barefoot Blonde has an incredible, editorial friend-shoot for some prom photo inspiration! Photography by Stephanie Sunderland.

Hold them up.  No more pulling up on that strapless bra. A bra strap wrapped around your torso below your strapless bra will help keep your strapless bra in place and free from slipping! Genius. Thanks PureWow!

Don’t blink! Do your eye shadow before doing your foundation. Girl with Glam shows you how to make the most perfect winged eyeliner using tape – who would have guessed?! Practice a few times before the big night!

Talk with your hands. While a mani and pedi are nice, don’t break the bank on expensive acrylic nails. There are so many press on nails like these Ombre Glitter Press-On Nails under $5 from Forever21. There are 24 nails total, so just put a few extra in your purse should you loose one in the evening.

Walk on red; not the red carpet. Get designer looking shoes with red paint shoe bottom coat and restorer. I suggest stretching your shoes (see our tip below) and rubbing sandpaper to the bottoms (to prevent slippage) before painting them!

Get organized. Carry all that you need with help from the Anatomy of a Prom Clutch from My School Outfits. Have a perfume sample, your lipstick, safety pins, and blotting paper sheets!

Big girls don’t cry. Apply two coats of mascara. Layer waterproof mascara on top of your regular formula to make your mascara last longer. Our favorite mascara is L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara.

Dance in comfort. Get fancy with this bedazzled, glittery Converse tutorial from Love Maegan (website down)

Pin it correctly. Ladies, watch this video on how to properly pin a boutonniere from Snippet and Ink.

Pucker up! Go matte with your lipstick. Follow these steps from Beauty Tips for Her for making your lipstick last 8 hours. Powder is the trick!

The night sky. If you are in charge of the decor, a beautiful backdrop is a black felt curtain, string lights and star lanterns. (Source)

Say it with balloons. Grab balloons that announce the year. We love this friend-shoot from Seniorologie; it could be fun with the guys too! You can find numbered foiled balloons here.

Kissable lips. Gently to gently buff away flakes and hydrate lips with an exfoliating lip scrub. Having exfoliated lips will help keep your lipstick on prom night.

Don’t go hungry. Eat something and drink lots of water before going out for prom. If hosting a dinner night, finger food is good for snacking and keeping clothing clean. Consider this Epic Charcuterie and Cheese Board from Skinny Taste. The protein will be great before heading out the door!

Break in your shoes. Make sure to break in your shoes! Take a thick pair of socks, wear your new shoes, and use a hair dryer to blow on the tightest areas. Keep repeating until the shoes fit comfortably! Also rub sand paper on the sole of the shoe to prevent slipping on the dance floor!

Hide your money. Have your hands free and invest in this must have prom accessory: the garter purse. Hide extra money, your credit card, and even your phone!

Stay hydrated. Serve a party punch for the crew to sip while getting ready or taking photos. We love this recipe from Savor Home. Be sure to include a straw to protect lipstick!

Check it and forget it. Waiting until the last minute only ads stress. Take a look at the prom planning tips, from Sarah Jane. A to do list that goes as far as three months out!

Zits suck. Don’t let a pimple mountain ruin your night.  Blushing Basics gives you a step by step tutorial on how to conceal a zit. Don’t pop it, hide it!

Etiquette 101. Don’t shy away or be afraid to eat in front of your date. Going to a fancy dinner for the first time? Here is a diagram with some basic rules of etiquette for your your formal dinning.  Know which fork or spoon to use, which glass to pick up and how to pass the table and salt. (Source)
