For the Birds
Here's an easy frugal treat for your feather friends. The kids will love to make these Peanut Butter Cones and the birds love the taste!
Ingredients: bird seed, yarn, pine cones and peanut butter.Tie your yarn on first - trust me, it's less messy then after the pine cone is covered in peanut butter and bird seed.
I microwaved the peanut butter for 1 minute. It's easier to spread when thinner.
Learn from my mistake - maybe this is a better outdoor project. The peanut butter can get messy :)
These were quick to make! We made 9 of them all together.
Hang these tasty treats on your trees for the birds. They will even use the yarn for their nests!Do you feed the furry and feathered friends in your yard?

Too busy to blog?
Hi Elijah!
I never write on here anymore :( I have a real bad habit of starting something, becoming obsessed.. then lose my momentum. I love constant change - it feeds me.
I'm still going to the gym.. 5 or 6 days a week! I've lost 23 lbs in 6 weeks. I am so impatient! I hope you don't get that flaw from me - but I think you will. You get angry so quickly - just like me. Today you got real mad about the sprinkler. You said "I want to go in the sprinkler." I said - that's okay- go in. You replied, "But there's too much water" (did you feel me rolling my eyes?!)
Here's another Eli-ism:
Eli: Is today Sunday?
Mom: No, Eli - it's Tuesday, we had a long weekend. Plus Daddy is on vacation this week!
Eli: (holding arms out looking around the room) THIS is No vacation! We need a hotel!
(there I go rolling my eyes again!)
Another one: :)
For you Eli, it's not the YMCA... it's the YMCK and you get really really mad when we try to correct you.
As I've always said, it's a good thing you are cute!
Love,
Mommy
