I know you are all so “over” Thanksgiving and in the middle of Christmas shopping and prep. But in an attempt to feed my denial that Christmas is less than a month away and that I am turning another year older this week, I’m going to relive our fun Thanksgiving celebration and pretend it isn’t…
In my last post I spoke of this mysterious project I way trying to get done in time for the CSI challenge. This is not that project. I worked late into the night and in the morning, and was just about to publish a quick post with the before and after, when I looked at…
{image: Martha Stewart} Yes. Today is my birthday. I am now the same age as Angelina Jolie, and only a few kids behind her. (Do you know what age that is?) My 8-yr-old daughter gave me a lovely card stating that she loves me and how she is glad I’m her mom, etc., and then…
Oh! This is a crazy-long post but it’s full of fun colorful pictures! My daughter turned 8 in April and was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Now that more than a month has passed, I think it is about time I blogged about it. I wanted a fun…
I really intended to be getting my post up about Kira’s big birthday/baptism celebration last month, today, and I will this week for sure, but a new Twitter friend is asking for ideas for a Lego-themed party for her daughter. I don’t know anyone who loves Legos more than my sister, Trina’s boys. Remember thebionicle…
Have you missed me? Probably not with Trina’s awesome posts (scroll down). I’ve been just a little bit busy… …with this… …and this… …and this… …and this… …and this… …and this… (O.K. so this one was really all my mom, and she helped with lots of the other projects, too.) …and a bunch more stuff…
Guest post by Kendra’s sister, Trina. This is a fantastic idea that can be adapted for so many events/parties. Read on… Here are my boys filling out their menus. A Bit Late for April Fool’s, But Fun Nonetheless (Surprise Dinner) I love this idea because it’s a way to make an occasion special and fun…
Guest post by Kendra’s sister, Trina, who isn’t only insanely creative, but also extremely cheap–that runs in our family, too! 🙂 I feel unqualified to talk about home décor because I don’t do too much of it, and what I do do is more often dictated most by how inexpensively it can be done. So,…
(Yes the pun in the title is totally intended. This is another guest post by Kendra’s certifiably insane sister, Trina. If you don’t believe she’s all that crazy, read on…) In recent years, our two older boys have often opted to forgo a big friend party in favor of a bigger outing with only…
(Guest Post by Trina, one of Kendra’s crazily creative sisters) When my oldest son turned 11, he asked for a Bionicle Birthday. This party ended up being pretty easy, considering he chose to take a couple of friends to a local trampoline place (it had nothing to do with his theme, but was a great…
