Last weekend the grandchildren were over for our monthly Crafting with Nanny date. Easter is just around the corner so we kept our craft project simple. We found a FREE oval shape template online (via Google image search) resized it to our liking and then printed it out. That is the base for your refrigerator magnets.
You can use a stiff felt or a craft foam to make the Easter Eggs. We opted for craft foam and use any color combinations that you would like. Have the kids cut out small circles, squares, triangles, waves, etc. from different colors of craft foam. They will need to be sized appropriately to fit onto the oval shape.
Use a quick-drying, all-purpose craft glue. I don’t recommend hot glue on foam which can melt it. Let the kids decorate them as they see fit. If you have rhinestones, beads, pom-poms, mini buttons, etc. in your craft stash, let them use those too! You can keep them simple (like we did) or bling them up with fancy decorations and accessories.
Let the front dry for 1-2 hours or until the decorations are firmly in place. Flip it over and add a commercial-grade magnet on the back with glue. You don’t want to use cheap magnets. It needs to be heavy-duty since you’re working with craft foam and don’t want them falling off the front of the refrigerator door. Let dry for 2-3 hours.
To finish up they took a Sharpie Marker and wrote their name and date on the back as a keepsake memory. In one afternoon they each made 4-6 Easter Egg Refrigerator Magnets. They’re now decorating the front of the refridgerator at their home. Easy and Cute!

Happy Easter to all of the Classy Chics blog readers! We got up early and went to sunrise Mass and then came home to make breakfast. After breakfast we put the ham into the oven along with a few of our sides. While everything is …
Every year I look forward to putting together Easter Baskets for my kids. I never purchase pre-made or pre-filled baskets, as I like to tailor each basket to suit each child. My tween daughter likes different things than my 5 year old son. I fill up their baskets with a variety of chocolate candy, regular candies, small toys, stickers and Little Debbie snacks.

While I was at a local store a few days ago I spotted two varieties of Little Debbie items that we’ve never had before. I tossed two boxes of each one into my shopping cart. I had a feeling that the kids would love them and they make great after-school snacks or take-alongs in their school lunch bags. I gave them a few to enjoy now and the rest were set aside for their baskets on Easter Sunday.
Little Debbie Unicorn Cakes with Sparkling Strawberry Filling comes with 8 individually packaged cakes.
Serving Size is 1 cake at 190 calories per serving.
Little Debbie Easter Carrot Cake Rolls comes with 6 individually wrapped cake rolls.
Serving Size is 1 cake roll at 270 calories per serving.
Here’s what we thought about them:
My children loved both flavors but did prefer the Unicorn Cakes a little more due to all of the colorful frosting and sprinkles. I taste-tested both and as an adult I preferred the Easter Carrot Cake Rolls, although I would eat both anytime, anywhere.
They both tasted freshly made and were soft. I like to toss these types of snacks in my kid’s lunchbox or backpack. I’ve also kept these types of snacks in my desk drawer at work. They’re better than the crap in the vending machine in the break room.
Like my parents we travel a lot and enjoy outdoor activities such as camping and hiking. I always pack a few boxes of Little Debbie snacks and cakes to take along with us. It’s much more affordable to take along your own snacks when traveling than to purchase them while on the road. Plus, you know the ones you have along with you are fresher and haven’t been sitting in a vending machine for months on end.
Both of these varieties were big winners in our household. I’m hoping I’ll see them again and if so, I’ll be picking up a few more boxes.

Easter is just around the corner and every year we like to make and serve ham. Our family is picky about ham and prefer it to be a little moist, tender and sweet. We use my grandma’s Pineapple Cherry Glazed Ham recipe which we think …
