This post originally appeared on Skip To My Lou as part of her Summer Camp Craft series last summer. We are now out of school and ready to party, so I am excited to share it with you here! It’s a simple party craft to make with the kids. Maybe they will want to host […]

May 29, 2014 by 2 Comments
It was exciting (and a bit nerve-wracking) to be invited to do a segment on “Your Life A to Z”, one of the local lifestyle news shows, this week. When we realized that both the host, Kyle Unfug, and I were pregnant, it seemed like baby showers would make a perfect topic! I resurrected some […]

Everybody loves Superheros, right? Chances are you are going to be involved in some sort of superhero celebration at some point in your life, if you haven’t already.

I’m really excited to share this new party book with you today for several reasons. 1) It is written by my talented friend, Vanessa from www.seevanessacraft.com. 2) My daughter is one of the cute kids featured in the book (see that is her above!), and 3) (Maybe most importantly) it is adorable and full of great, […]

We are big LEGO fans at this house! I have an entire LEGO inspired Pinterest board!

Each time one of my children has a birthday, I try and get creative about what I can bring into the classroom for school treats since our school doesn’t allow homemade goods. My oldest daughter’s birthday lands on Earth Day and last year, we used that as our theme for the entire celebration. I’m working […]

Fancy Girlie Easter Basket
April 8, 2014 by 4 Comments
Recently I was challenged to fashion an Easter basket for a girl using items found at my local Fry’s (Kroger) grocery store. Since Fry’s is one of the stores I frequent I thought it would be fun to see what I could find there and with my daughters in mind. I was immediately drawn to […]
Testing Week Lunch Box Notes
April 7, 2014 by 2 Comments
My kids have standardized testing this week at their school. My 4th grader’s teacher asked us to send in some words of encouragement for her to hand out from us through out the four days of testing. She thought this might be a nice way to help reduce their anxiety and help them feel confident […]
