Craftykins // “Star Spangled” Fruit Wand

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor Leave a Comment

“Oh say can you see, some fruit on a stick” ……
Looking for a last minute Fourth of July craft or to jazz up some food for guests this Fourth of July? Than look no further than the “Star Spangled” fruit wand. Or Kabob. Whichever you would like to call it!

With one quick trip to the grocery store, I was able to purchase everything I needed to make these fabulous fruit wands.
You can even get a star cookie cutter from the dollar store.

Here is how you do it :
+ Take your watermelon and make thin slices so that you can use the cookie cuter to pop out the watermelon stars.
+ Wash your berries and start making your berry patterns by pushing the berries onto the stick.
+ Throw in a Marshmallow (that was my “white” for “red, “white” an “blue” ) or not. My kids went straight for the Marshmallow first, then the fruit.
+ Endless pattern possibilities! No two fruit kabobs can be alike!
+ Enjoy!

Craftykins // Carrot Cupcakes

Babiekins Magazine || Carrot Cupcakes
We are getting ready for Easter over here in North Carolina and we LOVE Carrot Cake here at the Kipphut House. Easter is a great time to make carrot cake!
You don’t have to make your carrot cake from scratch ( if you can, you’re amazing!) but you can also buy a mix. I found some really yummy mixes from Homegoods the store. They were so good that I went back to get more, but they were all sold out.

I used a heart-shape silicon bake wear left over from Valentine’s day ( why not? lol) &
Red & Yellow Food Coloring to make my White Cream Cheese Frosting …. ORANGE!
I then took green construction paper and folded it in half. On the side without the crease, I cut fringes on the paper for the “carrot stem”.
Then I took a knife and made a slit at the top of the “heart” and stuck in the green paper stalk.
That’s it!
Enjoy!

Funkins // St.Pat’s Fun & Healthy Shamrock Shakes

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor 1 Comment

Babiekins Magazine || St. Pat's Fun

Happy St. Patrick’s Day friends!
Growing up with Irish blood, we have always celebrated our Irish heritage BIG in our home. We went to our local St. Patrick’s parade every year and we gathered with friends and family for a feast that my Mom would make.
Since having a family of my own, I continue to celebrate and teach my children of the Irish culture.
My Dad use to say , ” the Irish aren’t particularly known for their exquisite cuisine…. you rarely hear people say , let’s go to the Irish restaurant”. Although I myself find a lot of Irish dishes very yummy, sometimes little ones don’t find lamb, corned beef, veggies, potatoes and cabbage very “yummy”. This year in addition to our traditional Irish food, I decided to make Shamrock shakes for the girls ( even though they aren’t really Irish). HEALTHY Shamrock shakes that is….. for the whole family! We have been making them all week and like pairing it with some tradional Irish soda bread. To make your very own healthy shamrock shake, follow the recipe below:

Babiekins Magazine || St. Pat's Fun

+ 1 overripe large banana, peeled and frozen
+ 1/8 tsp to 1/4 tsp pure peppermint extract (I like 1/4 tsp)
+ up to 1 cup almond milk ( or milk of choice)
+ 1/4 cup frozen spinach
+ Green Food Coloring ( optional)
and blend!
Makes one big serving.

Our family leaves you with some old Irish proverbs…..

“May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.”

“For each petal on the shamrock,
This brings a wish your way.
Good Health, good luck, and
Happiness for today and every day.”

Funkins // National Chocolate Chip Day

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor Leave a Comment

Babiekinsmag | Chocolate Chip Day
May 15th is National Chocolate Chip Day, the extra sweet to any treat. We decided to look past the obvious Chocolate Chip Cookie ( which has it’s own National Day as well) to celebrate Chocolate Chip Day. These tasty Morsels can be a great addition to Muffins, Ice Cream, Cookie Bars, Brownies , Granola Bars, Trail Mix, and our pick of the day, PANCAKES! We made mini chocolate chip pancakes, a fun and easy treat that you can make with even the rowdiest of toddlers. According to Elsie, mini pancakes are to be eaten all at once. She convinced me she could handle them all and wishes everyone a Happy National Chocolate Chip Day!

Funkins // Peanut Butter & Jelly Days

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor Leave a Comment

Peanut Butter and Jelly is favorite and go-to meal for most households, especially with little ones. April 2nd is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day and although it has has passed, any day can be a day to celebrate Peanut Butter & Jelly! Elsie and Sadie went head to head with their favorite, “the Peanut Butter” and “the Jelly”! And who doesn’t love Donuts? We decided to combined the two to celebrate PB&J Day with PB& J Donuts! All you need is Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits , Powdered Sugar and of course the PB&J . The easy instructions to make the biscuit donuts can be found on the Pillsbury’s website. I took the donuts, covered it in powdered sugar, sliced it in half and then added the PB&J. It was fun, it was messy, it tasted amazing , and it was a hit! Kid and adult approved, this treat is a great way to commemorate PB&J and spend some time outside in the warmer weather.

Copyright © 2021 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
