March Madness Easter Basket

March Madness is in full swing and Easter is this Sunday,

what better way to combine the two than with

Easter Basket-ball!

This simple, silly Easter Basket is sure to be a slam dunk.
A small toy hoop tied onto the handle,
the filled with bunny eared, basketball eggs...

and I pumped up the balls this year with just a little Bunny Money!

Crafts to "Hoop it Up" for March Madness!

March Madness is almost here 

and I've got 3 easy crafts that will make anyone the MVP of the season.

A quick spin to the craft store is the key...

Every rookie knows you can never double dribble.

A simple painted cork trivet will be the best defense, 

just in case...

You will need:

Cork Coasters 

(mine is 6" in diameter but most craft stores have a variety of sizes)

Multi Surface Acrylic Paint in orange and black

paint brushes

Paint...

then add detail in black,

let dry a few hours...

and your drips and dribbles will never go out of bounds.

When the ball is in your court to decorate the table or bring a hostess gift, 

candles are always a slam dunk.

Orange votive candles

(these are from Ikea but you can find them everywhere)

swish perfectly into paint pen nets...

draw a series of white Xs around the perimeter of the candle 

and add the rim in black at the top

Basketball is the perfect excuse for a new pair of Hoop Earrings...

A fast break to the jewelry supply aisle for the dream team of 

ear hoops and orange gems...

and it's official, 

you are ready for March Madness!

Give it a Shot for Back to School - Basketball + Immunizations

I have been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are mine alone. #giveashot #collectivebias

There is nothing better than a great SHOT...

if you are playing basketball.

But, Back to School immunization shots are not always as exciting or fun, 

but they can be a quick, convenient slam dunk with Walgreens.

No appointment is needed, most insurance companies are accepted,

and with the Get a Shot. Give a Shot, 

when your child gets their vaccinations, 

they will help provide immunizations to a child in a developing country

through the United Nations Foundation Shot@Life Campaign.

That is something you can feel good about on the court and off!

My kids are older but they still fear getting their shots.

I made a fast break with them to Walgreens, 

and in less time that what would be on a shot clock 
we were immunized and on our way.

I made a few treats for our return home, 

just in case anyone wanted to take a dunk.
I hope they are old enough not to dribble!

No time-outs necessary for us, 

our immunizations are done.

The ball is in your court,
head over to Walgreens and Give it a Shot.

Easter Basket...Ball- Sports Themed Easter

March Madness is over,

 but basketball will still be all my nephew talks about.

He will be "hooping" down the bunny trail 

with a special basket from us.

I hope it will be a slam dunk...

and if you are wondering what his eggs will be filled with...

rumor has it that George Washington (and a few of his friends) 

will be the Easter Bunny this year…

just a little Bunny Money
