I know you’ve been waiting with baited breath to see what we came up with for Valentine’s this year. The concept came together for my daughter so well, but didn’t translate as well for my son, so I modified it to something he would think was cool. Kisses from Kira Valentines So this is the…
Each year at Valentine’s there is the big decision: To buy the Power Rangers and Barbie cards, or to make something a little more creative and personal. I bet you can’t guess which camp I am in! In fact, today’s big project is assembling the Valentines, but I’m not going to show them to you…yet….
We had kind of an early Valentine’s celebration with the kids this weekend. My sister-in-law brought over everything to make sugar cookies with the kids and we turned it into a crafty party. We needed food, so I decided to try heart-shaped pizzas. It was pretty easy since I used the ready made dough from…

We had a wonderful Christmas, and have lots to report, but I have to go travel, right now, so I have to make this quick. New Years is less than a week away! I was asked for party ideas on my facebook page. This is what I would like to do for New Years, if…
I blogged about my Christmas tree here, and so far, everyone’s favorite thing, is our train that goes around the middle. I did a quick blog search and it looks like Lowes used to carry it, but they don’t anymore. I did find it for sale on ebay, here. If anyone finds it elsewhere, please…
Oops! Somehow I pressed publish before I even wrote this post. I’d better hurry and finish it before people think I’ve lost it…Oh, nevermind. They already know I have! One of my friends has a daughter that is turning 4 in a couple of weeks, and though I know all too well the challenge a…
