How to Freeze Eggs!
With Easter quickly approaching, we will be seeing tons of sales on
eggs. Most years I may buy a few extra than normal, knowing the kids
wanted to decorate some, and thinking I would try to make a couple more
egg dishes over the next couple weeks. But now that I have discovered
that you can freeze your eggs, I’m stocking up! Who ever thought you
could have an egg stockpile? So find out how to freeze eggs by
following the steps below.
Two “cubes” will equal about one medium egg and three will equal about one large egg. If you want to be more accurate you can always mix each egg individually and freeze one egg per “cube”.
Obviously these eggs will not be useful when making a sunny side up egg, but they can be used to make scrambled eggs and just about any recipe that calls for eggs. Instead of going for the fridge, just go for the freezer.

What you Need:Once the eggs are frozen you should pop them out of the tray and store them in a freezer bag or an air tight container. Be sure to label so you know to which you added salt and to which you added sugar.
–Eggs
–Ice cube tray
What you Do:
–In a mixing bowl, mix together the yolk and whites of the eggs.
–This next step you will need to think ahead to what you will most likely be using the eggs for. If you are unsure maybe do a little of each. In this step you need to add just a little bit of salt or sugar, depending on what you will be using them for. Add sugar if you plan to use in your baking and add salt for everything else.
–Pour mixture into an ice cube tray and put into the freezer.
Two “cubes” will equal about one medium egg and three will equal about one large egg. If you want to be more accurate you can always mix each egg individually and freeze one egg per “cube”.
Obviously these eggs will not be useful when making a sunny side up egg, but they can be used to make scrambled eggs and just about any recipe that calls for eggs. Instead of going for the fridge, just go for the freezer.

Craft Idea: DIY Moon Sand!
My son and I made moon sand to play with today and it is so simple to do, I thought I would post it for you as well. Moon sand is different from regular sand because it is a little denser so it can be molded into shapes. The easiest way to explain it is if you imagine building a sand castle. It is much easier to work with wet sand then it is to work with perfectly dry sand. So it can be a lot of fun to get brightly colored sand for the little ones to make all sorts of things with.

DIY April Fools Pranks
April 1 offers the chance to summon your inner prankster and catch
family off guard. What’s your April Fools MO? Are you the mean one who
rubber bands the kitchen sink sprayer, switches the salt for sugar, and
(my favorite) rubs a little numbing Orajel into your spouse’s
toothbrush? Or are you just a doting mom who turns the milk green and
serves baby food for lunch? Whatever your strategy, here are a few new
ideas that probably won’t cost you a thing:

DIY Bell Pepper Clover Stamps
Grab
that wrinkly pepper from the back of your produce drawer, round up the
little leprechauns in your house and make these fun clover stampers!
With St. Patrick’s day approaching, this activity is great to do as a
family and will add some green to your house. So head to your
kitchen–you should find everything you need right there!
Here is what you will need!
- A green bell pepper (Look for one with three or four seams in it; this will ensure the 3 or 4 leaf clover design)
- A knife
- Green paint
- Paper
Here is what you will do!
- Using your knife, slice off the top half of the bell pepper. Clean any seeds away leaving the rim clean. The bottom portion will be your stamper. The top half can be your snack.
- Apply your paint around the rim of the pepper, or pour paint into an old pie pan, perfect for dipping.
- Press down firmly on your piece of paper, then add a stem. Presto!

this. BUT, I never really thought about doing it myself the way they do
it. Making it look like theirs. Sure I make an egg sandwich in the
mornings, but this is brillant! Who would have thought to use the
muffin pan to make the eggs perfect and then bake them!! Genius!! For
