6 Super Breakfast Ideas

1. Smoothie Kits- in a quart size ziplock freezer baggie add two cups of frozen fruit and 3-4 cubes of pre-made cubes of yogurt that have been frozen in ice-cube trays. You can buy bags of frozen fruit  or use these tips to freeze your own fresh fruit. 

2. Frozen Breakfast Burritos

3. Homemade Instant Oatmeal Packets from Super Healthy Kids (one of my favorite sites) Save money!

4. Breakfast on the go- peanut butter/banana roll up!  Take a tortilla spread Peanut Butter first then the jelly place banana on one end then roll, then eat up!

5. Breakfast Bites (5 minutes or less!) 

6. Muffins- great to make ahead! Serve with a banana or some fruit and viola! Love these homemade blueberry muffins from Our Best Bites

DIY Saturday: An Owl Themed Birthday

Guess Whoooo is turning one! For my daughters first birthday we had an owl theme birthday party. I love planning parties. I am not the best, but I have fun nonetheless. I made all the banners, invites and owl cut outs with the Silhouette Cameo, but there are so many Etsy Shops that sell cut out owls and banners if you are not crafty. I have pictured them simply to give some ideas. Pick a color scheme and get creative! Balloons are a fun and easy decor and pictures of your birthday boy/girl are also fun to display. I also found a fun wrapping paper that matched my color scheme and made a table runner from it. So easy and adds some color to a plain tablecloth. It's all in the details. Fun straws were purchased at a party store or I know several Etsy shops carry them as well. Served drinks in mason jars and tied tulle around them. Pre-wrap plastic utensils in napkins and tie with tulle. Put in a cute basket! Make a little banner for the birthday girl/boy's highchair. Display pictures of your little one. We had taken monthly pictures so those were displayed.

Birthday girl shirt: ironed on an owl appliqué to a white shirt. 

Decor: pink rosette ball, tissue paper pom poms

Cake & cupcakes: owl cake and cupcakes

Birthday wreath: http://nestyourbest.blogspot.com/2012/03/a-birthday-wreath.html
Favors: grandma crocheted owls for all the cousins & "owl food" which consisted on pretzels, marshmallows and chex mix.

I hope some of these ideas are helpful!
