It’s no secret – grandparents love pictures of their grandkids. But there’s no reason to give them an album for every holiday when there are so many creative ideas out there for sentimental gifts they are sure to love.
Here are some of my favorite (and on my list this year to DIY):
Christmas is approaching and it’s time to pull out all the stops to make some awesome and affordable DIY gifts! I love giving handmade gifts for the holidays; it’s thoughtful and unique, and helps me stay on budget during such an expensive time of year.
I’ve been so crazy-busy lately with the launch of I Tried A Pin, prepping for a local craft boutique (sneak peek to come – I may put some of the leftovers up in my Etsy shop after the boutique!), and crafting up some Christmas gifts… Oh yeah, and taking care of two kids, working part time, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking, and freelancing. But hey, that’s nothing right?
I’m still working on how best to document yearly events – like pumpkin carving – through photography. I like to make sure I capture the entirety of the event, taking pictures throughout. I tend to take less artsy photos of the details and focus more on my kids, and I think that’s ok. Here are…
We were headed to the pumpkin patch this weekend and I decided at the last minute that I wanted my daughter to wear something festive. She didn’t own anything orange, black, or fall looking, so I ran to the Dollar Tree and picked up a white tee shirt for $1. Then I created my own…

Halloween is two weeks away… and I haven’t put up any decorations. The sad thing is, I have a ton of them just sitting in a bin in the garage, I just don’t have the energy to get them out. What’s with my holiday apathy all of a sudden? I’ll chalk it up to my…
My little man is quite the drooler. It’s possible that at 4 months he is already teething, or it could just be that he’s one of those kids who’s going to constantly drool for the next few months. Either way, I pretty much need to have a bib on him at all times unless I feel like changing his soaking wet onesie every couple of hours. Did I mention he also spits up all.the.time.?
I remember seeing a while back that you can print on a paper bag, and I’m not sure why I hadn’t thought about it before. They are, after all, made of paper.
This morning in my inbox I saw an email from Paper Coterie with a free printable Halloween treat bag design, and it got me thinking about all the cute paper bag designs I’ve across in the past.
I decided to compile them here for a little inspiration and as a reminder that treats and gift wrap can be affordable and adorable!
I love DIY Halloween costumes – they are way cheaper than store-bought, and often, way cuter. When I think “homemade Halloween costume,” I often think about my babysitter when I was 6 who was a marathon sewer and used to sew her two kids some really elaborate costumes that put the rest of the neighborhood to…
