1) Invite all of your neighbors to have sales on the same day, because that makes it more like a party, and you know how to throw parties. (And if your family gets sick and you don’t have time to sort through and purge all of your possessions, there will still be enough stuff in the general…
You remember the game, Where’s Waldo, right? You could play an internet version of Where’s Kendra this weekend. The first place to look for me is over at Ucreate Parties blog, where I am spilling the secrets of the inexpensive way we’ve made backdrops for several of our party tables. You also might want to…
A few weeks ago I looked all over my blog for this post I know I had written. Well, I never found it, because it turns out, I wrote it for a guest posting stint over on the 733 blog. That was last July, so I think they will forgive me, if I repost it…
Since we are still in the month of LOVE, I thought it appropriate to show a little love to the sponsors who have purchased sidebar advertising with me.

My first grader (with ideas from me and lots of help from BSB) made this puppet as part of a book report for school. This…

For more current ideas, I’m loving this round-up from Not Just a Mommy: (image from Everyday Celebrating) You’ll also want to check out…
I thought we were through with sickness a couple of weeks ago, but it has been cycling through different members of our family in different forms for the last several weeks. I am ready to be done with this cold and flu season! It has taken some wind out of my blogging sails! Tonight I…
Leave it to me to take a great simple idea and turn it into a great complicated one. I loved the valentines we made for my son’s class last year, and since he is at a new school and my daughter hadn’t done these before, we decided it was a great enough concept for a…
My daughter needed some valentines to hand out at her preschool party this week. I was not (still am not) finished with the insane valentines I am doing with the kids (will reveal on Monday), and didn’t have the time or energy to come up with something too complicated. There have been so many fun…
{This is a sponsored post}The people at Alka-Seltzer are looking for your funny stories about miscommunication–you know, when you say one thing and someone hears something totally different. They asked me to write about one of my experiences, and immediately I thought of my husband, BSB, because he has been teased by his family about the…
