Celebrate the arrival of Spring by making one of these cute Blooming Twig Trees using all the pretty blossoms popping up right now! They’re beautiful, simple and fun to make.

We have an old crabapple tree in our yard and every spring it never disappoints. The blossoms are big and pink and beautiful. We love it it so much! But like all the other blossoms around our yard, they never last quite as long as I’d like them to. My daughter and I came up with this sweet craft to enjoy our crabapple blossoms even more. We used crabapple blossoms, but any kind of blossoms will do!

Mud-n-Moss Energy Balls {with Pistachio and Chocolate}

April 12, 2020 Leave a Comment Recipes· Snacks/Appetizers

Mud-n-Moss Energy Balls are such a great springtime snack. They’ll give your kids a big boost of energy, but they’re also really fun to eat, because they look like muddy moss balls found on a rainy spring day.

I love making energy balls for my kids. They’re loaded with protein, taste delicious, they’re easy to make, and they travel well. Oh, and my kids will actually eat them, unlike so many other healthy things I make for them. There are so many variations you could try, but my kids love these particular protein balls because they look like mud and moss! Mmm…yummy. Ha ha!
