With the end of the school year quickly approaching, it’s once again time to start thinking about how to honor your kids’ teachers for all the hard work they’ve done over the year. I still don’t know how teachers do it… I would lose my mind if I was in a room of 20-30 kids…
Mom deserves the very best, don’t you think? Yes, I’m mostly saying that because I’m a mom. BUT STILL. You know how I love me some handmade gifts. And every time I turn around there are more awesome ideas floating around the internet for DIY gifts for mom. So I’ve rounded up some of my…
I can title this post as such because I consider myself to be one of those “lazy people” – particularly when it comes to memory keeping. I feel the draw to hold onto and preserve memories just as much as the next mom, but quite frankly I think our generation is putting WAY too much pressure on…
I hate mud. I hate wood floors and mud. I hate kids and mud. I’m type-A, after all, and messes freak me out. When we moved to Colorado from California, I realized I had a new battle to deal with: winter boots covered in snow and mud that just wouldn’t quit – oh, and 3…
When I began looking up projects to do for my daughter’s art-themed birthday party, I wanted something simple, age-appropriate (4-7 year olds) and not super messy (I know, I know, but kids + paint gives me a heart attack – even at an art party in a controlled environment made for crafting…). I knew this…
I’ve been trying to convince my daughter to do an art party for a couple of years now. She has always loved crafting (she is mine, after all), but up until this year she was too into princesses and mermaids to want to have an art party (view past birthdays parties here). I guess 6…
I always like to give at least one handmade gift from the kids to our parents for Christmas. But how many coasters with my kids’ faces plastered on them do they really need? So I try to find some out of the box gifts to create for them that they might actually enjoy (like some…
Ever since we moved into our house in April 2015, I have wanted a new dining room table and chairs. Not only had my taste significantly changed from when we first purchased our modern-styled set some 4 or 5 years ago, but it really didn’t fit the space available in our new house. Our table…
Pretty soon, your mailbox will be flooded with Christmas cards. If you’re like me in years past, you’ll leave them on the counter for lack of a better place and then find them randomly crushed and chewed on and shoved under the couch because your toddler got to them (you thought I was going to…
We’ve got a whole gang of superheros in our house this Halloween. Lincoln wanted to be Ironman, so I obliged and bought him a super cheesy packaged costume. He looks hilariously adorable, so I can’t complain. Mia wanted to be Batgirl, which I was happy about because I knew it would be easy to put…
