We had a great Easter weekend that the Easter bunny certainly would have approved of. We were inspired in dress and decor by a bunny’s favorite treat: carrots! The obligatory matching outfit photos. (I guess I can’t expect them to behave for every photo). The girls dresses are maybe more coral than orange, and I’m…
I hope you are enjoying this holiday weekend. I thought I would share a few last minute ideas if you are scrambling to put together an Easter celebration for tomorrow or Sunday. Last year, I had the task of throwing our church Easter party with basically no budget. I’ve already blogged about the cupcakes I…
A year ago, I wrote about the fun family tradition my family had of having mystery dinners for special occasions, or to make regular occasions special. I had created an April Fools version which has become pretty popular on Pinterest leading up to April Fools Day. We had so much fun last year, that we…
Last Easter, with the aid of a dozen or so pre-adolescent girls, I made this fun Easter Egg garland as a decoration for the church party that we threw with out any budget (Would you like to know more about how we pulled that one off in another post?). I used the basic concept I…
I have hard time walking away from a challenge, so I couldn’t refuse the chance to take part in The Scribble Shop Challenge! Along with many other creative bloggers, I was sent a package from The Scribble Shop–an on-line craft store–full of random craft supplies with a challenge to use all of the supplies in…
I am so excited to be able to show you the office chair we made-over! Not just because I think it is so fresh and fun, but because it means it is finally finished! This is a makeover that honestly was begun about a year ago when my parents were visiting. A number of delays,…
Happy Spring! We are back to school and done with our Spring Frolicking. It was a much needed Spring Break–a combination of hard work, hard play, and some good old-fashioned rest and relaxation. Though, I’m not sure I’ve gotten my fill of that yet! 🙂 We took a little trip to Northern Arizona for…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Just popping in to show you the fun green breakfast we had–surprisingly, suggested and prepared by BSB himself! He grew a little nostalgic for the green breakfasts his mother would make on St. Patrick’s Day when he was a child. I’m not sure unnaturally green food ever looks super appetizing. But…
It’s time to make an accounting of our family’s LISTERINE® Healthy Habits for a Lifetime Oral Care Challenge. I wrote about the reasons to focus on good dental habits in this post, at the beginning of the challenge. So, how did I do? You tell me… Alright, it probably would help if I had posted…
Spring is Springing! Is it planting season where you are? It is here in Phoenix, though we haven’t planted anything yet. Katherine is helping you get organized in the garden with some pretty printable garden labels! Free and easy! That’s the best kind of organizational tool–especially when they look this nice! * * *…
