Hey y'all! Hope you are having a great week! Today I have been busy working on the kids Valentine's Day gifts for school! I thought I would show you a little sneak peek! I am still working on the labels (I am not a huge fan of this one but my daughter liked it!) Tomorrow I will be adding more fun invitations  and some really cute chalkboard labels to the shop! I got a really fun Tiffany theme party request, which was for some fun bling cupcake sticks which went out today! I am thinking about adding these to the shop! I had SO much fun making them! So here is a few pictures of my last few days! 

You can purchase the candy tubes here: TheLittleGreenWagon Update 1/25/2014 I have been getting a  lot of emails asking how much my cake pop sticks are! Please email me for information! I will be adding these to my website soon! If you would like a quote email me at thelittlegreenwagon1@yahoo.com!

Sorry for the bad lighting on the Valentine's picture! With all the gloomy weather here (under 20 degrees, snow and no sun!) it makes for some not so great photos! :-) I only have about 51 more candy tubes to make, no big deal! :) Good thing I got my Starbucks fix today! I also sent out over 50 of the cakepop sticks! Kinda proud I got them out on time since the kids had off the last few days of school and we have had friends over for playdates as well!! Go me! :) Be sure to check the shop out in the next few days for more invitations and the chalkboard labels! Please be sure to follow me on Instagram and Pinterest here: pinterest & instagram! As always have a wonderful day!

~Hot Chocolate Bar!~

Hey y'all! I know it has been a few weeks since my last post, so I decided today would be my "catch up" day! I have had a few things I have been working on and a few things in the works I am very excited about! Even if it means long days and late nights! I am just glad I LOVE what I do! A few weeks back I was lucky enough to have worked with the lovely Kelsey from over at http://tatteredandinked.blogspot.com she did a wonderful Hot Chocolate Party using some goodies from TheLittleGreenWagon! 

Using Red, Gold & Aqua colors was a fantastic idea! How adorable are these colors combined!?!

I just love how she used the vintage crate as a prop! Kelsey is so talented and crafty and has so many amazing ideas! Be sure to check out her blog here! 

 

She used some mason jars (who does NOT love some mason jars?!?) for the hot chocolate and used some paper straws from TheLittleGreenWagon!

I love how she used the centerpiece to hold the yummy goodies for the hot chocolate! I am totally crushing on her Christmas blocks right now!

~Happy New Year Y'all!~

Hey y'all! I cannot believe it is all ready a new year! 2013 went by so fast for me! I have come to know some very awesome people, learned many awesome new things, branched out from Etsy to launch my own website (along with a VERY new Instagram and Blog!)  I am so thankful for all of the support I have got from past and new customers and the many Bloggers who have helped along the way as well! My two little ones are no longer so little, I now have a 8 year old and a 6 year old and since today is a snow day watching them play it is still hard to get over how big they have gotten over the years! Seems like yesterday I was just throwing my very first 1st birthday party!

I am very excited to start 2014 though, as I just know it will be a good year and I have many things going on that I am super excited about! I had a past customer reach out to me about making her a tissue paper garland banner to hang above her 16 year old's candy buffet bar. I had so much fun making it that it has turned into my new obsession (well Starbucks is still #1 of course!) I have found myself searching high and low for fun tissue paper and I now have banners hung in my pantry, my daughters bedroom and the kids playroom!

Not too bad for my first go! But I am hoping to get these up on my site next month! 

Last month the kids and I had a few little parties that I will be sharing! We had a Cookie baking party, an Ornament making party and we threw a party for my daughters AG doll who turned 1! We also had a Hot Chocolate party and a fun Christmas party! I am working on getting those along with Halloween (what! yes I said Halloween, its been CRAZY busy over here!!) photo's posted along with the recipes and crafts we did as well! 

I have been slowly adding new products to my website as well! Check out these ADORABLE Party Printables I added today:

Be sure to check out my website here: thelittlegreenwagon.net

~Fabulous Fall Find Thursday!~

Hey y'all! Happy Thursday! It is just starting to really feel like fall today and I am so excited! I decided to make Thursday's for the rest of October "Fall Finds Thursday" where I will be sharing yummy treats, fun crafts, and adorable finds! Thank you for the wonderful emails encouraging me to keep it up! I do have fun finding goodies to share! Today I wanted to share from Jen's over at My Own Road (now at eat.sleep.MAKE) great idea at some Monster Sandwiches! I am SUPER big into making my kids lunches fun, I know they probably do not realize I spend an hour or so each night on lunches, shaping eggs into cars, or fishes or making pumpkin shaped PBJ sandwiches or cutting fruit and veggies into shapes, but if I can get a smile out of them even a small one, then I am a happy momma! So in my search of a fun "Halloween" theme sandwiches idea I came across this blog and I have to say...HOW CUTE ARE THESE SANDWICHES? Almost too cute to eat! They look simple to make also! 

I love how the cheese is cut like teeth! My kids are going to get a kick out of these! Please check out her blog and the directions for making these fun monster sandwiches! You can find that link here: 

http://jensownroad.blogspot.com/2011/12/monster-sandwiches.html

I have also been big on trying smoothies the past few months. My kids actually have loved trying them and one of the ones they love is this Banana Smoothie. It is super easy to make and taste good!

Banana Smoothie

Here is what you will need and how to do it!

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 1/2 cups soy milk
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp flax oil
• 2 cups ice

Directions:
  1. Place all ingredients in a blender with the bananas on the bottom.
  2. Blend until smooth.

Makes 4 servings. 

I love these Bento Jars, I use them to put the kids smoothies in or I put a little soup in it for my son! You can find this and more over at: Laptop Lunches! I mentioned above that I love to shape my kids lunches, and I do that by using my Bento Creativity Tools! Here are some things I keep in my Bento/Lunch kit:

You can find the link to those at: Laptop Lunches 

Here is what I pack my kids lunches in!

Bento Lunch Kits!

I always include a joke in  my kids lunches also! Most of the time I just get on my handy Pinterest and pull up funny kids jokes and use those! This month I am keeping with the "Halloween" theme and write jokes about pumpkin's, ghosts, and scarecrows! You can check out my Pinterest page for kids jokes and notes here: http://www.pinterest.com/lilgreenwagon/%7Elunch-box-jokes-notes%7E/
