After the first day of school, have a snack waiting that is fit for every Star Student (and they are all Star Students in our eyes, right?)…
The apples cut horizontally always get ooohs and aahhhs when they first see the star that is made by the seeds in the middle. Remember the star shape is actually the core, and so I recommend eating the part around the star but not the actual star.
It is so easy to make a batch of star shaped sugar cookies when you roll out the ready-made dough. I colored these yellow and printed the name on the star using Message in a Cookie Cutter* from Williams-Sonoma.
The star in the glass is an ice cube using the Wilton star shaped silicone tray. Chalkboard paint on drinking glasses makes the messages you can choose endless!
Add a cute straw~these straws with stars are from Shop Sweet Lulu~ and watch your child twinkle as they snack and tell you about their stellar first day at school!
Enjoy!
*A note about the Message in a Cookie Cutter…I recommend these only if you have a lot of time and patience. There are pre-made messages that are easier to use- and remember to roll the dough thin or you will have very illegible messages. Maybe I just need to practice, but mine never looked this good…

Birthday Party Ideas for a Teen- How to Celebrate a TEEN
Wow! My daughter turned into a teen! Sometimes it can be tricky to decide what to do to celebrate this milestone. I wanted to share with you some ideas that may help if you want to mark the occasion but also keep it low-key. At first, my daughter wanted to have a very large sleepover to celebrate. I loved it that she wanted to include everyone she knew, but laughed at the thought of trying to corral close to 30 tweens and teens! So, I told her she could have a little, bitty, teeny sleepover and her “real” party could be bubble soccer (which she had been begging to do at this huge sleepover she was planning ). So, realizing the play on words with a “teeny” party, we went with the TEENY theme and used as many miniature things as we could. It was such a fun theme and the ideas could go on forever…but this is what we decided on for her teeny, little sleepover.
