DAY 2 Palm Frond Crosses

It’s Palm Sunday, a special day in our home because it is the source of our son’s namesake. When I was pregnant with my 3rd, with no agreed upon baby name, Lily came home from school waving a palm frond. She explained that the people waving palm fronds as Christ entered Jeruselum were called “palmers”. I went into labor on Easter and our Palmer was born the next day. Today we are making crosses out of palm fronds. Now I do feel compelled to tell you that Palmer thought the crosses were more fun as guns. Here is a great tutorial:

A cute way to display cake pops 

Cake pops are tricky to display. To stand them up you need styrofoam but it’s just not that cute. One idea is to wrap the styrofoam with your favorite wrapping paper.  If you wrap each one individually in little bags from Michaels, you have a great Break Room treat.
