Yes. I really think this was the best picture I got of my “models.” Aren’t they a silly crew! Inspired by this post I found via “Be Different, Act Normal,” I thought a great application for this technique would be St. Patrick’s Day shirts, to insure my children against pesky St. Patrick’s Day pinching. This…
For months I’ve been teasing you with sneak peeks, like this one, of the Space-themed room I have been designing for my son. I had been planning and dreaming about it since before we moved in nearly 2 years ago. And I am happy to announce that it is FINALLY FINISHED…….sort of. The big stuff…

So tell me this doesn’t just melt your heart a little… I guess I am a biased mom, but I think he makes an awfully handsome valentine, don’t you? These were my son’s Valentine’s for school, this year. I had purchase heart-shaped suckers to stick in each card, but found out at the last minute,…
So we’ve talked about some fun you can have with your husband and friends this year, and some ideas for cute school valentines (& I keep finding more online), but Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday this year, and so there is a long weekend to spend with kids who may want to do more…

There are a lot of great parties to choose from. I think I have visited them all, but…
This afternoon is pretty much the only chance I will have to help my kids make gifts for their teachers before they are out for Christmas break. But what to make? What to make? Last year I made these scrabble tile pendants featuring the kids’ artwork. They were a big hit, but I don’t have…
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving. I am happy to report that our turkey and gravy both turned out well, although by the time we cooked them, I had read so many different techniques on-line that my brain was spinning, and I had my doubts. Everyone has a different method! Luckily ours worked,…
This fall, my heart was broken, not once, but twice in the same week as two of my friends were taken from their families. My heart broke as my friend, Ashleigh, a mother of 4 very young children lost a short battle with colon cancer. Later that week, I received word that Clint, the husband…
This idea has made it’s appearance in many Thanksgiving meals I’ve been involved in over the years. If you look closely, you can see my mini cornucopias in this post, and in this post. The cornucopias are made by “glueing” Runts candies into Bugles snacks, using Marshmallow creme as your glue. The trick is using…
