How to make Egg Cups
Here is what you need:
Bread- any kind you want
Something to cut it with (I used a julienne cutter)
Eggs (one for each cup you make)
Rolling pin
Muffin tin
First your going to want to flatten your slice of bread
Once your bread is flattened you want to cut all of the crust off.
Gently fold your bread slices into your muffin tin
You can either cook your eggs in your muffin cups or you can scramble them stovetop and add the eggs to the cups afterwards (whichever you prefer) our kids prefer scrambled.
Cook at 350 for 10-15 mins (longer if you are cooking your eggs in the cups)
Take out and let cool, enjoy!

How to start meal prepping
Plan your meals: Decide on the meals you want to make for the week, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can include a variety of foods Make to keep your meals interesting or you can be a little crazy like or family and have themed weeks. Yes, we had a "asian week" and a "Mexican food week". My kids really get into it.
Make a grocery list: Write down all the ingredients you need for your meals, including any snacks you want to have on hand.
Go grocery shopping: I find when I make the list above it helps me avoid impulse buys.
Prepare your ingredients: Wash and chop your fruits and vegetables, cook your proteins, and get everything ready to be portioned out into containers.
Portion out your meals: Use airtight containers to portion out your meals into individual portions. Label each container with the date and type of meal.
Store your meals: Store your meals in the refrigerator or freezer, depending on when you plan to eat them.
Enjoy your meals: When it’s time to eat, simply take your meal out of the refrigerator or microwave from the freezer, and enjoy!
Meal prepping is a great way to ensure you have healthy, home-cooked meals at your fingertips. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can save time and money while maintaining a healthy diet.

X-mans 9th Birthday Harry Potter Party
The Invitation:
I looked around the web and after talking to X was informed he wanted the invite to be an acceptance letter like Harry receives in the book. So with some help with my very talented husband we came up with some really cute letters along with a 'Ticket'. I was even able to get ahold of a wax stamp kit with the Hogwarts crest from Amazon.com.
Our living room was set up with portraits of famous wizards, a potions cabinet with a pensive and some other items you may find in the wizarding world. We used battery powered faux candles everywhere since we had 23 nine year old boys.
Then after everyone was settled in the kids had a big surprise. Harry and Hermione showed up! They went thru a sword fight some spell making with the boys then played Quittage with the boys for a couple of hours. I found them thru Action Events and they were truly amazing. The kids and adults loved them and they were absolutely fantastic.
Till next time,
Jen
