As the end of the year approaches, it’s a good time to stop and reflect on all we are thankful for. As a mom, instilling gratitude in my kids is incredibly important to me; and I’m sure I’m not alone. So I’ve created these FREE Gratitude Cards for you to print and fill out with your…
Oh, pumpkin carving. I avoided it for SO many years. When the kids were young, I convinced them that painting or coloring their pumpkins would be SUPER FUN. And it totally worked (see here)… for a while. Now that they are older, we have started actually carving our pumpkins like normal people. My husband loathes this activity.…
I love giving dad something sentimental from the kids for Father’s Day. There’s no better time of year to remind him just how special and loved he is. If you look around, there are plenty of free downloads on the web for Father’s Day, but this year I wanted something different that I hadn’t done or seen in…
This weekend we had quite the raging party. It was superhero-palooza as we celebrated birthdays for my now four and two year old boys (insert ugly cry here). [ Invite: Nuts & Bolts Paper Co ] In the midst of party decor and food planning, I got the idea to create some popcorn cones that tied…
I’m a romantic at heart, and as a woman, I love being spoiled. Also – I’m not ashamed to admit – I prefer that Valentine’s Day be all about me. Me getting diamonds. Me getting flowers. Me getting chocolates. Ok, ok, I care about my husband and his feelings too. Valentine’s Day is always a…
Ah, another Valentine’s Day. Another year of scrolling through pages and pages of clever Valentines on Pinterest made from candy and treats attached to clever sayings like “we are ‘mentos’ to be together” and “you’re one smart cookie.” I figure since you’ve already seen a million of them, I might as well throw another log on the fire……
Are you still on the hunt for something easy for your kiddos to hand out to their friends and classmates this Valentine’s Day? I’ve got you covered. I figure I’ve still got another year or two before my daughter realizes that they make and sell Princess Valentines, at which point my opinion will no longer…
It was 2 1/2 years ago when my husband and I switched over to the cash envelope system to help us stay on budget. We are still going strong, although I can’t say we are sticklers. We both still carry credit cards and I often forget to bring my envelopes with me when I go…
I have a feeling Easter will be here before we know it. I am hoping to be on top of it this year and start gathering Easter basket goodies now and prepping Easter cards, but good intentions aren’t always enough… In any event, I did get a new Easter card up in my Etsy shop that would be perfect to showcase your little bunnies:
With Valentine’s Day almost here, the race is on for every mom to gather up Valentines to pass out in class for each child. My daughter is in preschool, therefore I can still decide what she gives out and don’t have to succumb to the over-priced, hideous Dora/Princess/*insert random character name here* Valentines sold in stores. Thank God.
