All princesses all day long over here lately! Since we got back from my 4-year old’s first trip to Disney, it’s a constant struggle to not be smiling while we are thinking about all the great memories we created. Then, talk about timing, a new Disney DVD was released. Inside contained princess-dom like crazy! This…
There is just something about a personalized card that makes me smile. It makes me think that the person took a lot of thought into making it special for the reciever of it. I always try to get something personalized for my kids birthdays, whether it be custom invites, custom thank you cards or party…
At the beginning of this month, we moved into our new (to us) home. We’ve finally gotten most of the boxes emptied, and we’re just getting around the the fun part: decorating! My 8 year old daughter and I have had so much fun planning how to decorate the girls’ room. She and I both love…
Do any of you have a little one who loves super heroes at your house? My two-year-old loves the idea of a super hero–just don’t make him actually go near one in a costume, then he thinks they are the most frightening things ever! But before you go buying every super hero costume out there,…
When we moved into our house and put in new flooring, all I could think about was carpet that was soft and comfy enough to walk on barefoot and lay on and would {hopefully} hide wear well. I didn’t stop to think about how that carpet would work with building train tracks and block castles….
My kids love to craft. We even have a “craft room” in our house with a desk full of crafting supplies–paper, markers, beads, scissors, etc. We spend a lot of time in that craft room. But we don’t often delve beyond basic coloring, cutting and a few very basic rainbow looms. Even with my help,…
I have a slight (read: not so slight) fascination with paper. I like all the different types of paper, weights of paper, feels of paper, finishes of paper. I’m also a sucker for a good notebook. A nice, sturdy cover with good, heavy paper? And personalize it, too? I’m so in. My kids certainly take…
I’ll admit it. I have Pinterest problems. Mainly that I love pinning cute craft projects but they never make their way off my computer screen and into my living room. Even when alone, I find Michael’s a bit daunting. I may or may not find what I’m looking for. And, if I do, I’m left…
Did you know there was a National Have Fun at Work Day? Well, until yesterday I was none the wiser but after seeing that some people were turning this holiDAY into a week long celebration I decided that my fellow stay at home and work from home mothers needed to be able to jump into…
My daughter loves to draw. She loves to doodle and color and paint. Her favorite thing to draw is animals and we’ve tried before to make our own paper-to-pal kind of plush toy but it’s harder than it seems! With the new PillowPals, it’s as easy as 1-2-3! No, really. Three steps and you’re ready…
Valentine’s Day is coming up! You know your kids are going to be asking you to help make some or get some cards at the store. The kids are not gonna care whether they are store bought or home made. Do what’s easiest for you and what your kids like. Are you ready? Have you…
“I used baby products by JOHNSON’S® to care for my little one as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars – all opinions are my own! #johnsonspartners My littlest lady is turning one on the 26th. ONE! What happened this past year?!?! It flew by, that’s for sure!! We celebrate big time when it comes…
