Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming! Excuse my while I get all “Buddy the Elf” over my favorite holiday. The kids love Christmas, too, and a few years ago, my mom introduced them to reindeer food. If you don’t know what reindeer food is, you’re in for a fun new Christmas tradition! …
This past weekend, my husband took the kids to Comic-Con in Dallas. Both kids love Star Wars and Minecraft, and as I was at a blogging conference for the day, he loaded up the kids and joined some friends at Comic-Con (and for the record, he says he does not recommend taking young kids unless …
If I can make this no-sew DIY Power Ranger costume, anyone can. Seriously. It’s made with tape. I am mostly not the kind of person who makes her kids’ Halloween costumes. In theory, I’d love to. Homemade costumes are cute, they fit better, they’re unique…homemade Halloween costumes are awesome! But you know those costumes you …
As you may know, we are huge Frozen fans around here. HUGE. I could *probably* recite most of the movie for you, if you asked. I’ve been looking for an Elsa costume for Claire, to no avail. Apparently, we are not the only Frozen fans, and Elsa costumes are a hot commodity. As I was lying …
Ahhh, toddlers. The little kings and queens of living in the moment and feeling their emotions. All the things we strive to do as adults and want for our children, but perhaps? Just a little more quietly. A little less disruptively. A little less toddler-like. I want to validate my child’s feelings and let her know I take …
I know I am not the only one who has gone online looking for free printable Father’s Day cards. Although I’ve probably been in Target or Walmart or the grocery store six times in the last week, I never remember to pick up a Father’s Day card! This year I decided to just make my …
In our family’s list of favorite holidays, May the Fourth falls somewhere close behind Christmas. We totally consider May the Fourth a legit holiday, and I have the Chewbacca hash browns to prove it. With the May the Fourth right around the corner, I thought I’d share some of my favorite May the Fourth activities …
The perfect Mother’s Day, in my world, involves sleeping in for a few extra hours (without a child in the bed!), homemade Eggs Benedict, extra tea, and a solo shopping trip to Target. It doesn’t take much to make me happy! But the sweet little things the kids bring home from school for Mother’s Day? …
I don’t know why (really, I don’t…) but I seem to do a better job of crafting with food than cooking with it. My M&M Christmas Trees and Berry Centerpiece are examples of my random food crafting. And today, I’m going to keep this trend moving forward with a Candy Heart Wreath. Unlike most attempted …
Claire was sick today, which meant we spent the day indoors. She spent most of the day clinging to me, and took a couple of naps for good measure. But she’s three, so…she still wanted to play and needed to be entertained. And frankly, I did too! So we busted out a couple of crafts …
