DIY Upcycling Challenge

By -

*I am part of the Chick-fil-A Mom Panel. From time to time I'm given promotional cards and other items for participating in various ways with the group. I love being a #ChickfilaMom!


 Around Valentine's Day I was sent 2 cards for soup and 2 cards for breakfast items at Chick-fil-A. The enclosed letter challenged me to use the cards for the soup and keep the containers to upcycle into something new.


Being that I just had a baby, it's been pretty difficult with 4 kids to get up to Chick-fil-A like we had been able to previously. I was just now able to get to the restaurant today and pick up my soups as well as my New Mommy Meal (more about that at a later time!)


I already had several ideas in mind and I was given another card for soup in a separate envelope. My kids helped me come up with a seed starter or mini greenhouse for one container. This will have our milkweed sproutlets growing in it. I also thought a baby bank would be cute for another. The last container I came up with was for a wipes dispenser or maybe even a container for trash bags.








I really enjoyed this challenge as I like to get crafty when I can and I am always saving items to use in projects later. This got me and my kids thinking outside the box and helping to reduce, reuse and recycle things into something useful around the house that we didn't know we needed.

I've taken a few pictures for this post but still need to finish eating the soup and creating the diy projects since I am barely getting any extra time for myself right now with a newborn. Pictures and anything extra I may need to add will be up after lunchtime tomorrow and no later than 6 tomorrow night.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post and please follow me/share my posts if you like them and want to see more posts like this one in the future.

    I have a different way of upcycling these! We actually wash them out and use them to put little fruit cups for the kids in there. :) You can also do so much more like starting seeds and the list goes on and on! :)

Popped Passion Customized Popcorn Cakes

Life is better popped! * We received a free Valentine's inspired customized popcorn cake in exchange   for our honest review February was a busy month for us. We had our youngest celebrate his 2nd birthday and several other things pop up. Since he was born on the 9th, I don't do much around Valentine's day other than celebrate his birthday and make some treats for the older kiddos. This year was a little different because I made a special mini Valentine's party for the whole family and the kids enjoyed having their very own popcorn cake be the star of the show. Jon (pictured above) thought that this was  HIS  cake and he would not give it up for quite some time. Everyone gathered all around the kitchen island to inspect this cute  Insta-worthy popcorn  that just screams all things Valentine's day and to take a bite already. Since we were just sharing as a family we didn't even bother with cutting into it and just picked pieces off

Kitty Kick Stix Catnip Kicker Toy - Review and Giveaway!

* Kitty Kick Stix  was very generous in sending "Bear" & "Hans" their most popular 15" Kick Stix to test and review. While we did receive a product for free, all opinions are entirely my own!  (Our 15" Kitty Kick Stix) Since adopting "Bear" at the end of the year last year, we quickly realized he was no ordinary cat. Here is a short story about his life journey and how he became our kitty. Abandoned as an itty bitty tabby kitten with 1 sibling, they soon were taken in by  Operation Pets Alive . His foster mom bottle fed him and helped him grow into the 5/6 month old kitten we would adopt later on. (Such a cute little kitten he was!) When we met "Bear" for the first time I just knew I had to have him. He was in one of those cat condos in a pet store and I always feel so guilty looking in at the kitties through the window. He seemed to be very playful but also very affectionate. I thought he would be the perfect
