Every year, I make a cool Christmas tree craft. My favorites are the M&M Christmas trees and the Darth Vader Christmas tree, but I also love this button tree (kid-friendly!) and one made out of mini pinecones that I never got around to blogging about. I’ve been trying to figure out what this year’s Christmas tree …
I’m rounding up my free Thanksgiving printables with this free Thanksgiving printable wall art. The holidays are crazy. I know they are…and I know that sometimes slowing down, for just a few minutes, even, can be a challenge. My hope is that this will be a tiny little reminder that we have lots to be …
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 …
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for my quarterly food craft! I’m not crafty very often, but when I am…I like to use candy as my medium of choice. I mean, I can’t feel guilty about eating 32,000 candy corns before the second week of September has even started if it’s for a CRAFT, right?! …
True story: One Halloween, when I was in the third grade or so, my mom decided that she would not pass candy out that year. Because we lived in a neighborhood with only a handful of trick-or-treaters, most of the neighbors gave us full-size candy bars, or poured handful upon handful of candy into our pillowcases. The same …
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 …
When I was a kid, I loved the Care Bears. I vividly remember my parents taking me and my brother to Toys-R-Us to pick out our first Care Bears. I chose Tender Heart (because he was the leader), and my brother chose Grumpy Bear. Not long after we got them, we took a trip to Oregon. We …
Grandparents Day is coming up! Honestly, we are kind of hit-or-miss with this holiday. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day seem sufficient to me, but this year I thought I’d take a little extra effort to make something fun and easy for Grandparents Day. What I came up with was a Grandparents Day printable that the …
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 …
