I love baking for my girls, I’m not the greatest baker, but the easy things (cookies, cupcakes etc.) I can do. But as a busy mom who’s got multiple things going on I don’t always have the time to bake as much as I’d like to, so when Hearthsong gave me the opportunity to check out the Mini Cupcake Maker I couldn’t pass up the chance.

This little Mini Cupcake Maker allows me to bake my girls cupcakes, muffins and brownie bites all in a quick easy way. Set up is easy, you simply plug it in and when the green light comes on your ready to go!

This Mini Cupcake Maker is so easy and quick to use, I’ve even made fresh chocolate chip muffins for my girls in the morning before school. I just make the mix to the directions and then fill each well with the batter/mix, about 6-8 minutes later, out come fully baked, warm yummy treats!

Even though this is a cupcake maker, we’ve not only been able to make cupcakes, but I’ve made pumpkin chocolate chip brownie bites, muffins and even mini quiches! This machine is simply AMAZING and a must have for every home!

Just think, when you’re little one hands you a note the night before that says you need 24 cupcakes for school, you can quickly whip up a batch of mini cupcakes in just a matter of minutes rather than getting the oven ready and turned on, you no longer have to have a hot kitchen to bake!

The Mini Cupcake Maker retails for $29.98 and can be found by visiting hearthsong.com.

Back to school essentials, one of them are definetly labels! Every kid needs them, no matter what the grade, being able to claim your personal items ensures that they won’t be tossed into the lost and found, never to be found again!

I’ve tried labels from various companies, and I think by far, my favorite ones are now from Bright Star Kids! Their Name Label Value Kits include all of the labels you’ll need for just about any occasion (not just school) at affordable and competitive prices. 

I got the School Labels Value Kit ($39.95) for my youngest daughter, the kit includes over 175 labels. You’ll get 10 large labels, 30 small labels, 80 tiny pencil labels, 16 large round labels and 16 clear covers, 10 book/subject labels, 30 tag iron on clothing labels.

The process to purchase your labels is easy, you first enter the name you wish (and you can get a secondary line if you want), choose your label color, choose your font style, and then choose one of many cute icons! You’re also able to preview your labels before you purchase.

We opted for purple labels with a cat, kiddie font and my daughter first and last name. Her lables (not including her last name on them obviously for my blog) look like this:

I love how durable they are, they don’t rip easily like some other labels I’ve encountered, they stick on just about everything, are dishwasher safe, microwave, steriliser and freezer safe, all of the clothing labels are safe in washing machines and tumble driers.

Don’t be fooled by the location of Bright Star Kids thinking your order will take forever, although they’re located in Austraila shipping and ordering is prompt! Orders are processed within about 2 business days and I got my package within a week, super quick!

Bright Star Kids doesn’t just carry lables either, they have a variety of products such as wall art, bags and products for the home. Be sure to check out Bright Star Kids for your back to school and home needs at their website brightstarkids.com.au.

Two lucky readers will have a chance to win a $30 voucher to spend at Bright Star Kids!  Use your voucher for back to school or home items, whatever you’d like!
