March Playdough

This month I was originally going to do Mardi Gras colors of Purple, Gold and Green but decided to just focus on Purple, for the season of Lent and Green for St. Patrick's Day.

Purple and Green Playdough

I added Mardi Gras beads for fun!

The kids loved the beads.

Looks fun and the littles are amazed at the results!

Mardi Gras King Cake

Here is my lazy version of making a Mardi Gras King's Cake!

Ingredients: 2 cans of Cinnamon Rolls and Mardi Gras colored Sugar

Place Cinnamon Rolls on their sides equally around the Bundt Pan

Gently push Cinnamon Rolls on top of each other

Bake According to directions

I did bake mine a little bit longer... about 15 extra minutes

Let cool for a bit. Then turn over to plate.

Heat up icing for about 15-20 seconds and generously pour over cake

Yup...that's what I'm talkin" about!

Sprinkle sugar on top while icing is still warm.

Viola!! A Mardi Gras Kings Cake!
Oh and don't forget to add the baby...that, I forgot!

Capturing a moment from the week. 

A simple, special, extraordinary moment. 

A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
