What better way to celebrate Mom than with the best muffin breakfast ideas for Mother’s Day? We’ve gathered the Best Tasty Muffin Recipes for your Mother’s Day Muffins with Mom Breakfast. Mmm, I can smell the fresh baked muffins already!

Muffins with Mom Muffin Recipes

Muffins with Mom Muffin Recipes for Mother’s Day

One of my favorite memories with the girls is when they were in preschool. The teachers would hold a Muffins with Mom and Doughnuts with Dad breakfast around Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. They were such special moments for the kids and I and provided more than enough adorable memories. Plus, it goes without saying that the muffins were beyond delicious!

I took inspiration from those preschool Mother’s Day muffin breakfasts and put together my own list of the tastiest Muffins with Mom recipes that I hand-picked from across the internet. If you’re searching for the best Mother’s Day breakfast idea, I guarantee this will wow Mom on her special day! Accompany your muffins with fresh fruit, coffee, a mimosa, and/or any other breakfast treats that Mom loves. These make a great addition to your Mother’s Day brunch spread, too! Or if you’re planning to deliver breakfast to Mom in bed, muffins are the perfect option since they’re low on mess. We’ve included fruity muffins, savory muffins, healthy muffins, and more, so you can perfectly cater your Mother’s Day breakfast menu to Mom’s favorite flavors.

Want to complete the experience to truly make Muffins with Mom a unique and memorable event? Don’t forget our Muffins with Mom Invite – a free printable you can use for your breakfast with Mom! She’ll be over the moon seeing the special touches you and your family put into her breakfast celebration. Have fun with Mom, and enjoy!

What supplies will you need for these muffin recipes?

All of these recipes have their own tasty flavors that set them apart from the rest. However, if you’re looking for muffin basics to have on hand, you’ll generally want to have these ingredients. You’ll likely already have most of these ingredients, so once you select the muffin recipe that you think Mom will love, simply shop for the items you don’t have in the kitchen. The remaining ingredients depend on the individual recipes you’ll find below!

Most of these Muffins with Mom recipes call for…

  • Eggs
  • Milk (any milk you have on hand will do, including non-dairy milk like almond, oat, etc.)
  • A neutral oil or butter
  • Flour
  • Sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Muffin tins
  • Muffin liners (these are optional, but colorful muffin tin liners really jazz up the presentation of your special Mother’s Day breakfast! If you don’t have any on hand, you can grease your muffin tins with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.)

Glamping Ideas for the Ultimate Camping Trip for the Girls! Glamping: where stunning nature meets modern luxury.

Glamping Ideas for the Girls!


If I get a chance to get away with the girls, sleeping arrangements are often more like a 4/5 start hotel over an outdoor camping facility. I have always wanted to get one with nature, but I really enjoy the comfort of a nice bed and the enjoyment of a temperature controlled environment.  Since camping was always polyester tents and sand in my toes, and bed, I never really considered it. With the evolution of glamping, camping has one again peaked my interest!

If you have always desired a camping trip but feared loosing your comforts of electricity and down comforters, take a look at these Glamping Ideas for your next trip with the girls! Glamping is doing things outside of your comfort zone, while not straying too far!

Gnome Cookies

Gnome Cookies

Did you catch the movie Gnomeo and Juliet? If so, you might find gnomes as adorable as our family. The movie is basically a creative twist on the classic Shakespeare tale. Two young garden gnomes, Gnomeo and Juliet, try to avoid tragedy and find lasting happiness together when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors.

If you enjoyed this movie, be on the look out for Sherlock Gnomes. When the gnomes go missing, there’s only one gnome for the job. This fun mystery is released in theaters on March 23, 2018.

Before kitting the theater or perhaps after you enjoy the show, make this adorable Gnome Cookies. If you don’t make them to go along with the movie, they are also fun for a garden party!

How To Cut Vinyl in Cricut Design Space

How To Cut Vinyl on your Cricut machine with complete confidence! Cut vinyl in this step-by-step Cricut Design Space tutorial on Frugal Coupon Living.

How To Cut Vinyl in Cricut Design Space

The possibilities for creation with your Cricut machine is limitless. There is so much you can make for yourself, your family, and friends once you better understand how to use your machine.

Cutting and decorating with vinyl is no exception. This lightweight crafting material makes the perfect add-on to any decoration in your home, and today I’ll be showing you, step-by-step how to cut vinyl in Cricut Design Space.

How to Cut Vinyl in Cricut Design Space

You’ll first want to connect your machine to your laptop or smartphone. Once your Cricut machine is connected, go ahead and log into Design Space and select “New Project.”


Most of the time when you create with vinyl you’re doing projects with text rather than shapes. For this tutorial, you’ll want to select the text button and type in the words you would like your Cricut machine to cut for your completed project.

Pro Tip: if you plan on using a phrase such as, “Our home is built on love” to add to your living room, and you know you want the words “home” and “love” to be a cute scripted font and the other words to be a standard font, then I recommend adding the words “home” and “love” together. Then add the words “our is built on” with the standard font you’d like to compliment your scripted font.

It’s perfectly okay if the phrase you want to use isn’t in a complete sentence in Design Space. You’ll be in charge of assembling the sentence after printing the words on the vinyl.

For the rest of this tutorial, we will use the word, “Queen” as an example.

After you type in the word you’d like to use your font in Design Space is a standard font. In order to change the font to meet your project’s standards, you’ll go to the top of your screen and select “fonts.”

You can either buy fonts from Cricut or if you’d like to use the fonts already on your computer (that are completely free) then select “systems” to change the style you’d like.

I love how Design Space will show you an example of what the font looks like before you select an option to give you a visual to meet your project’s needs.

Once you have your font chosen for your project, you’ll want to click on your main word and move the word on your screen so you can keep working on your project. This will allow you to add more words (if you’re wanting to design a cute quote).

Also, you’ll want to use the blue arrow in the bottom right corner to make your font bigger or smaller depending on your projects needs. This option is also available at the top of your screen, but I have found the blue arrow to be a faster option.

Once your word is the size you want, you’ll want to click on the word and look to the right side of your screen. Double check to make sure the font has the scissors for the “cut” option rather than the print, write, or text options also available to you. This is telling Design Space that you want your Cricut machine to “cut” this word.

Pro Tip: You can (and should) change the project color to match the color of the vinyl you’re using for your project. This is perfect and will help save your sanity when it comes time to cut on your Cricut machine. When you have multiple words and you change the color of each word, this tells your machine that you’ll need multiple “mats” or “cuts” for your project.

Once you’re happy with your project you’ll select the green “make it” button in the top right-hand corner of your screen. You’ll also want to take the time to select the number of copies you’d like to make of your project and select “continue” in the bottom right hand corner.

Once your machine connects to your laptop or smartphone, go ahead and select the vinyl option from the list available. You’ll then want to place your vinyl on your cutting mat with the color facing up towards you.

Follow the cutting instructions on the Cricut machine by inserting your cutting mat, waiting for the machine to cut, and inserting additional colors of vinyl if needed.

Once all your vinyl for your project is cut, then apply to your object, whether you’re decorating your wall, a pillow, a mug, or anything else, and enjoy your new creation!

Bullet Journal Ideas & Planner Spreads You Can Copy

Creative Bullet Journal Ideas and Planner Spreads to organize your life. Inspiring layouts you can copy and do yourself! Perfect for your diary, journal, planner, calendar and more

Bullet Journal Ideas & Planner Spreads You Can Copy

 

I am not a bullet journalist (is that the correct term.) In fact, I got a planner in 2015 (yes, I remember the year) and didn’t make it past January. This is my 10th year of blogging, and I think due to the amount of time I am online each day, I use digital calendars over your traditional paper in pen.

The Bullet Journal is a customizable and forgiving organization system. It can be your to-do list, sketchbook, notebook, and diary, but most likely, it will be all of the above. It will teach you to do more with less. Despite the fact, I am not a “team player” when it comes to planner spreads and bullet journals, I did have fun with my research in this round-up. First, if you are new to bullet journaling, get familiar with the acronym bujo or hashtag #bujo – bullet journaling. I did notice a lot of the bullet journal ideas were international, are most other northern Americans also not creating bullet journals? Raise your hand if you live in the USA and bullet journal – if you look dumb raising you hand in the middle of Starbucks, just leave a comment and tell me you do (and perhaps some of your favorite resources!)

Powered by Creative Market

These bullet journal ideas were very inspiring. I noticed for planners, many of you love the Erin Condren Life Planner. When it comes to Bullet Journaling, there are a lot of resources available online. From stickers, to printables, to stencils (for the perfectionists!) It really is a creative outlet and a great way to remain organized!

When journaling, I read that the right pen is a must – take a look at the the black Sakura Micron Pens in a variety of sizes. As a former teacher and pen connoisseur myself, I personally love these Dual Tip Watercolor Brush Markers and these Dual Tip Brush Marker Pens.

Enjoy!

Easter April Fools’ Joke | April Fools’Day Candy

Easter April Fools' Joke | April Fools' Day Candy

Hippity, hoppity, Easter  April Fools’ Day is on its way….

Ready for some foolish, silly Easter fun? We have a very cute idea to celebrate both Easter and April Fools’ Day! Did you realize that this year, 2018, they both fall on the same day – April 1st. Well both Easter and April Fools’ are two of our most favorite holidays on Frugal Coupon Living. Have you seen our Innocent and Playful April Fools’ Prank Ideas? That being said, we knew we had to come up with something creative to merge the two holidays this year.

This Easter Sunday, unwrap some Easter chocolate and replace with grapes! This is a clean, bunny approved April Fools’ Prank Idea. Another way to take this idea the extra mile bunny run, is to place your wrapped foil grapes in Easter Eggs and send the kids on an Easter Egg Hunt. This is sure to buy you at least 20 minutes of sipping that mimosa. These treats  won’t melt, even if you are experiencing a warm Easter Sunday.

Looking for more to do this Easter Sunday with the kids? Don’t forget our favorite Easter Food Craft Ideas for Kids.

Enjoy!

April Fools' Day Candy Grapes

April Fools’ Day Candy

Supplies:

  • Small Bunch Green Grapes
  • Foil
  • Permanent Markers in Assorted Colors
  • 1 bag Easter Candy with foil wrappers
  • Optional: Plastic Eggs


How to make a Easter April Fools' Joke

Directions:

  1. Cut 2 ½” X 2 ½” squares from the foil. Cut out as many as you would like to make. Have one square per grape you intend to wrap.
  2. Use the markers and color one side of the foil squares with Sharpie Markers and let dry for a few minutes.
  3. Unwrap the Easter candy from the decorative foil, be careful not to rip the wrappers. Flatten them out a little so the wrinkles aren’t too bad.
  4. Using the foils from the purchased candy and the foils you made with Sharpie markers, wrap one grape into each foil. They should look like the little chocolate eggs in the foils you can buy at Easter time.
  5. Put them in a dish (or Easter Egg) and serve them.
  6. Everyone will think they are getting a chocolate candy, but they will be unwrapping a grape.
  7. Now just say “April Fools!”

Optional: Place chocolate covered grapes in plastic Easter eggs.
