Teacher Christmas Gifts



I know it is a little early for this but I started early due to a foot surgery that I am about to have.  I found this idea HERE and absolutely loved it.  So I decided to get my kids teachers Christmas gifts made ahead of time so that I did not have to worry about it after my surgery.  The one on the blog is for teacher appreciation week but I geared mine more toward Christmas.  This is another fun project that I got to use my cricket!!

Breakfast Quesadillas


I got a quesadilla maker for my birthday and it is one of my new favorite toys.  I made these for breakfast the other day and now my husband wants them every morning!  You do not need the quesadilla maker to do this but it does add a little special something.  The best thing about these is that you can be creative and put whatever your little heart desires in your quesadilla.


First start out by scrambling 4 eggs and cook through.


This is what I added to my quesadilla.
Sliced Deli Ham
Monetary Jack Cheese
Green Onion
Red Bell Pepper
Pickled Jalapenos


On a flour tortilla add all your ingredients and half of the eggs, then topped with another flour tortilla.  Lightly butter both outsides of the tortillas.  Now here is my yummy secret.  On your pan or quesadilla maker, sprinkle some cheese directly onto the pan.  Afterwords you get a yummy fried cheese taste that sticks to the outside of the tortilla.  Cook until nice and crispy and serve with salsa.  So yummy!!

Twirli Girli Gown Giveaway

Twirli Girli


I came across this etsy shop awhile ago and thought that these gowns were so much fun.  When I read more about her shop I thought it was great that she was making gowns for girls in need around the world!! I was lucky enough to have a gown sent to me and I have to say that it was very well made and so cute!  I showed my daughter and she loved it.  You will not regret getting one of these for a special girl you know. These make the perfect Christmas gifts for girls age 3-10!! The best part, the profits from these gowns fund the gowns for other girls!

-----------------------------------

Here is a little bit of info on the shop owner:

Hi, I'm all about happy girls twirling in comfy, fun, pretty gowns. I designed this gown for my daughter so she could have a full-length, easy off and on, 100 percent cotton breathable garment in pretty, unusual fabrics. She loved her twirligirli gown so much she didn't want to take it off. She played and twirled in it during the day and slept in it at night. I then made it for nieces and family members. They loved it, too. I decided to make the gown for other girls so they could have twirly fun,too. The idea spread to make the gown for girls in need of cheer and a good twirl. People began to donate money to my business, twirligirli, and made it possible for me to send these gowns to girls in need in Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Ethiopia, Texas and patients at hospitals. Profits from the sales of my gowns go toward funding these charitable gowns. You can be on the twirly girly team by buying a gown and helping a girl twirl. Thank you!!
