This 3 D Paper Lady Bug Craft  is perfect for kids of all ages. It is so easy, that even the little ones can help make these! With red and black paper and some glue you too can create these. The cute googly eyes are optional. If you have them, of course, use them. If not, create eyes with paint, paper, buttons, or something else. 

The supplies couldn't be more basic. Glue, 2 circles of red paper, in any size you like, and black paper, and a background are all that is required really. I used a hole punch to make circles easily and I had 2 pink googly eyes, so I used them!

Cut your circles together so they are the same size. 

Then fold them in half.

Glue one side of the circle to your background paper.

Line the other folded circle up and glue it on the paper.

Cut a teardrop shape from the black paper and affix this as the head of the 3D Ladybug.

Create and affix black dots with a hole punch, or a marker.

Then attach the eyes. 

Now you have a cute and super easy 3d paper ladybug  craft!

J is for Jam Coloring Page

Harper is almost finished with her first year of preschool, so we are working harder than ever on writing our abc's. It is so cute to see her early stages of penmanship! There is something about a backwards letter that tugs right on my heartstrings!

I made this fun coloring page for her. It combines coloring and a chance to practice the letter Jj. We found this printable to be perfect around lunch time. Naturally it inspired us to add a little jam to our day.

Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad

           Delicious and easy, this recipe takes chicken salad to the next level of tasty!

We have been in a lunchtime slump for months now. I rarely think ahead and plan for lunch and am left standing before my kitchen feeling a little lost at lunch time. The number of days when Harper and I call cheese and crackers lunch is ridiculous! Yesterday, I decided to take the mid day meal back into my court and I created something on a whim that will save the meal for us time and time again!

Cheesy Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad couldn't be easier to make. While I made this with a whole chicken breast, you could easily save some time and swap that for some rotisserie chicken, or even a can of chicken breast if that is what you have on hand!

This recipe comes together easily. If you are using pre-cooked chicken breast, it comes together in under 5 minutes for a yummy lunch in spite of a busy day or limited culinary skills. In this recipe I used shallots because that is what I had on hand. You can use the onion of your choice. Celery might make a nice addition if you like it. I do not like celery so I didn't use it.

Ingredients for 4 sandwiches:

• 8 ounces of chicken breast, cooked and shredded or cut into small chunks.
• 4 tablespoons of mayo
• 1 tablespoon of ranch dip mix
• 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup  of bacon crumbles
• 1/4 cup of shallots or onion, finely chopped. 

Directions:

• Combine the mayo and ranch dip mix together, blending well.
• Add the onion or shallots and mix well.
• Add the chicken, bacon, and cheese and stir until well combined.
• Serve on bread, tortillas or on crackers for a tasty and easy lunch!

I think this tastes better the next day, so you might mix it up the night before and have a total treat of yummy for lunch the next day!
