Graham Crackers and Frosting
Growing up, my mom would make a simple snack of two graham crackers sandwiched together with frosting. I only break it out for special moments. Big S was so excited when he came home from his first day of first grade to find a stack of graham cracker sandwiches waiting for him!
They are so easy to put together. Take a graham cracker, break it in half. Cover one side with a frosting of your choice. Our favorite is either plain vanilla frosting or chocolate frosting. Place the other half of the graham cracker to make a sandwich. Eat immediately. If you let it sit too long, the graham crackers will get soggy. Over the years, I have tried a few other things: dipping the graham crackers in chocolate, rolling the sides of the frosting in sprinkles. My kids just like the plain old graham cracker with a little bit of frosting.
Personalized Hand Sanitizer
Big S has finished up his first week of school. I wanted to send in a fun little back to school gift. Hand sanitizer is on the optional section of the school supply list. After being a teacher for ten years, I know how hard it can be to get optional school supplies so we always try to send in a couple of the items on the list. Instead of just sending in the plain old bottle of hand sanitizer, I decided to dress it up!
Start with one bottle of hand sanitizer and peel off the labels.
Create your vinyl letters and decorations. I kept it easy and just did a J for the teacher’s last name and circles for decoration. (A special thanks to E for letting me borrow her Cricut. I can’t wait to get one of my own soon!)
Place the letter in the center of the bottle.
Add your decorative elements.
Don’t forget to decorate the back of the bottle!
Tie a matching ribbon around the neck of the bottle.
Yay! A fun, easy, and inexpensive Back to School gift! This is also a great way to dress up inexpensive soap in your bathroom or kitchen!
I love these examples of other ways to decorate hand sanitizer bottles:
