How do you like to celebrate Cinco De Mayo? Whether it is throwing a full blown out fun fiesta with your family and friends or just having a quiet Taco Tuesday with your family grab some fun ideas to help you celebrate right here. You will find everything from a fun craft of maracas to the best margarita you've ever had. Let us know what's your favorite! 

Don't know what to do with all those plastic Easter eggs that are now in a plastic bag thrown in the spare closet for next year? Use them for this fun craft. For Kids of all ages, even my son age 11 enjoyed playing with his sisters so we are going to make some MineCraft ones for his Cinco De Mayo Celebration. Make your own Maracas and design them in your favorite design.
