UltimateMama and her family are spending this New Year’s Eve at home.  In order to make it a little extra special she brought out some Welch’s Sparkling Rose (Grape Juice Cocktail) in fancy flutes!  Cheers to all!

UltimateMama enjoys surprising her two little ones with Gingerbread Houses to decorate during the holiday season.  Much to her amazement, Michaels had the perfect Christmas Tree Gingerbread Kit on sale for $4.99 (from $9.99).  The girls loved how easy it was to assemble and frost their trees!  A must buy!

UltimateMama loves to use Wilton 3 tier treat stands as table centerpieces during the holiday season.  These sturdy dessert stands make beautiful presentations of your favorite creations from cupcakes to cookies to brownies.  UltimateMama’s kids enjoy dressing up the stands with mini pumpkins in the fall for a sweet, seasonal surprise.

UltimateMama has a few Easter bunny tricks up her sleeve for her tween and teen girls.  Easter baskets will include:

UltimateMama and her kids had a magnificent time coloring Easter eggs with the PAAS Shake & Color kit.  All you need to do is add rice to the kit’s liquid dye and shaker bag.  A few shakes and you are finished. Don’t forget to rotate the eggs among the various colors for a marbled look!

UltimateMama wishes all of you a Happy St. Patrick’s Day.  A few ideas to make this holiday fun for the kids as follows:

-Start the day off with green bagels

-Place festive green napkins at each place setting

-Gift your family members with St. Patrick’s Day headbands (UltimateMama loves the “Kiss Me I’m Irish” variety) or hats

-Read your children a book about St. Patrick’s Day (UltimateMama enjoys The Story of St. Patrick’s Day by Patricia A. Pingry for younger kids)

-Do a St. Patrick’s Day craft project (creating friendship bracelets with green yarn is fun)

-Listen to music from Ireland

-Cut out shamrocks from green construction paper

-Paint nails green

-Bake cupcakes and make green frosting

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
