Splurge vs. Save: Easter and Spring Décor, Kids Easter

February 15, 2023February 16, 2023Leave a comment

For Easter 2023, we’ll go splurge vs. save on some Easter and spring decor, gifts, and home items. I have some great Pottery Barn dupes and Amazon finds from the Pottery Barn Spring and Pottery Barn Easter collection. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite Easter and Spring decor and kids’ Easter items with both inexpensive Amazon finds and Pottery Barn picks.

While each item on the splurge side is something I love and think is of great quality, it isn’t always in my budget to splurge on. I’m always on the hunt for lookalike items that are a little more budget-friendly. I’ll give you links and prices for both. Check back for more of the Splurge vs. Save series for Easter, Spring Break, and more!

Easy Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Easter Bunnies

April 10, 2022April 12, 2022Leave a comment

It doesn’t get any easier (or cuter) than these super simple cinnamon roll Easter bunnies. With only 1 ingredient, you don’t even need a recipe! These are great for an Easter brunch and Easter morning.

Check out our how-to video on the Made by Kids YouTube channel for instructions or read on below!

To start, buy a tube of your favorite cinnamon roll. Use one cinnamon roll as the face and keep 1-2 more back to cut and use for the ears

2. Unwrap the cinnamon roll and make your ear shape

3. Keep in mind that the roll and the ears will expand as they bake so give plenty of room. I used a little tin foil to keep the ear shape

4. Let the bunnies cool and add your icing

5. If you wish you can use chocolate chips and jelly beans to make a bunny face
