Happy Thanksgiving

The Two Savvy Sisters are wishing everyone a happy and fulfilling Thanksgiving!! We hope everyone has a fabulous Holiday weekend and I wanted to share some of our Thanksgiving treats!!

Yummy cupcakes we made for my son's preschool Thanksgiving show, we had to add our fall cupcake toppers of course!!

I saw this fabulous idea over at Fresh Chick Design Studio. I decided I would make some fun fall gifts for my son's teachers, a small gift to let them know we are so very thankful for them!!

We also made chocolate covered Oreo pops to place inside of the gifts. It was a very fun and MESSY craft!!

I also made a fun Give Thanks banner for my son's preschool show and for my older son's kindergarten feast!! I love the Holidays and the joy of doing fun crafts and baking with my boys!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving Feature~Whoot of Thanks Play-date

I am so excited to share this amazing Whoot of Thanks Play-date with you today! I just fell in love with this Whoot of Thanks Play-date hosted by The Savvy Mom's Guide...SO FABULOUS!! I have been waiting and waiting and waiting to post this fabulous play-date but had to wait for my week dedicated to all things Thanksgiving...I am so excited to finally get to share it with all of you!!

For the "Whoot of Thanks" Play Date theme, their inspirations came from a collaboration of fall, Thanksgiving, and Owls. They wanted to feature natural elements such as woods, moss and leaves to compliment this inspiration.

How adorable are these fabulous cupcakes, cake balls and owl cookie pops that coordinated with the colors and theme perfectly...so fun!!

It looks like the kiddos and mommies had a fabulous time!!

Make sure you visit The Savvy Mom's Guide for more Whoot of Thanks fun...LOVE it!!

Cupcake Recipe Of The Week~Mini Thanksgiving Cupcakes

Cupcake Recipe Of The Week~Mini Thanksgiving Cupcakes

Since this week is dedicated to all things Thanksgiving I am sharing these mini Thanksgiving Cupcakes!! I am going to make these for my son's preschool Thanksgiving show...so excited!!

Mini Thanksgiving Cupcakes

1 cup whole milk, room temperature

6 large egg whites, room temperature

2 teaspoons almond extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 and 1/4 cups cake flour

1 and 3/4 cups sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

12 tablespoons (1 and 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces and softened

Whisk the milk, egg whites, and extracts together in a small bowl.In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.

 Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat the butter, one piece at a time, into the flour mixture, about 30 seconds. Continue to beat the mixture until it resembles moist crumbs, 1 to 3 minutes.

Beat in all but 1/2 cup of the milk mixture, then increase the mixer speed to medium and beat the batter until smooth, light, and fluffy, 1 to 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly beat in the remaining 1/2 cup of the milk mixture until the batter looks slightly curdled, about 15 seconds.

Preheat oven to 350 and mix all ingredients, bake for 20 to 25 minutes and let cool.

Divide the frosting into three bowls and tint each with desired food coloring tint.

Using your pastry bag and desired tip, pipe the frosting in a cone-shape on the cupcakes!!

Buttercream Frosting

1 cup butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon meringue powder

1 tablespoon milk

1 package powdered sugar

Happy baking, if anyone decides to bake these adorable cupcakes I would love to see pictures

 

Holiday Cards

Shutterfly is my favorite store for photo cards, calendars, and photobooks. I love giving photo calendars as gifts to family members. You would not believe how many compliments I have received on my calendar gifts.

Every Christmas I make photo calendars for our families...it is now a family tradition. Every one in my family loves all the photos and fun memories that are shared in the calenders. I love it because it cuts down on the amount of Christmas shopping I have to do!

I have I am so excited to share our Christmas card with all of our family and friends. I have to be honest, I have been thinking about our Christmas card since we had our family pictures taken over the summer. Shutterfly has so many options that it's hard to narrow down my favorites.

Lovable Labels Giveaway!!

Lovable Labels Giveaway!!

Both my boys started school this year, Cayden started kindergarten and Cody started preschool!! So there is no joy in labeling everything with a sharpie for it to just come right off...not so fun!!

The best solution is Lovable Labels  it provides me with the resources to make sure nothing gets misplaced. When Laura(a mom of a child in daycare) had to label everything for her son, she noticed a need for labels that could withstand everything a child could do to it. Laura created a line of labels that include Regular and Slimline Stickers, Shoe Labels, Iron-ons and Bag Tags. They are not only bright, fun and colorful but also met the high standards that parents have come to expect. The Regular and Slimline labels are microwave and dishwasher safe, the Iron-on labels stay put in the washer and dryer, the Shoe Labels have an extra strength adhesive to ensure they won't come off and the Bag Tags are made of a durable and flexible plastic.

My son Cayden was sent a Back To School Pack of labels.

Back To School Pack includes:

•15 Regular Sticker Labels

•40 Slimline Sticker Labels

•72 Press n'Stick Clothing DOTS

•12 Shoe Labels

•2 Mini-Metal Tags (two 4” silver ball chains incld)

•12 Square Labels

 Here is one of the mini metal tags that I put on Cayden's back pack and lunch box.  They are perfect for so many things because they are waterproof and weatherproof!

LOVE the press n' Stick Clothing DOTS. The pack includes 72 of them in a variety of sizes so that I can stick them on shirts, pants, jackets, and more! Simply attach them to the garment tag or care label.

The regular stickers are also great for putting on things like sippy cups, water bottles, and school supplies. They are microwave safe, waterproof and UV resistant!

I would recommend these labels to any mom with kids in daycare or school. Visit Lovable Labels to view all of their products. Be sure to purchase a Holiday Gift Pack before they are gone!
