Our Elmer’s Spring Craft Creation {Giveaway}

Tweet I’ve mentioned here before that I’m not the craftiest person around. In fact, I need step-by-step directions for anything I make. And, a picture. BUT, I’d really like to change that, so I recently accepted Elmer’s challenge to let my inner crafty loose in a Spring DIY Creation Contest. Elmer’s developed a Spring Creation Guide, with [...]

Prehistoric Diorama

Tweet My lovely friend, Donna, kept my kiddos busy (and quiet) for quite some time yesterday evening. She had my kids and her kids assembling mini dinosaur and insect figures until our patio table was full of lizards, dragonflies, beetles, spiders and more. Some of these little figures fell apart as soon as they were [...]

Snowflakes

Tweet As I travel across the country for the third time in the last week, I can only imagine what my babies are doing to keep busy under the watchful eye of Aunt Sara. It was cold and raining when I left this morning, so I envision many little ones – eight to exact, including [...]

Indoor Fun

Tweet So, how did you do this last week? Were you able to be more intentional about fitting in a fun activity or creating a new craft with your kiddos each day? This week we discovered some new games – Zingo and Super WHY! ABC Letter Game – and we played some of our old [...]

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

Tweet I know, I know… Christmas is over. But, the cold and wet weather is sticking around for awhile. Which means our energetic family – much like yours, I’m sure, unless you live in Florida – must turn to indoor activities to keep us busy and active. This last week was the most wet week [...]

Wintery Weather Fun

Tweet What words come to mind when you think of this time of the year? Maybe you live in Chicago and are snowed in, stuck at home with all your lovely and adorable kids. Cold. Bored. Or, perhaps you live in Southern California and your family still heads to the beach on any given day. [...]

Nestle Holiday Gift Basket {Giveaway}

Tweet My mom always set us up with fun things to do and create, especially around Christmas, but there is one incredibly easy craft that I particularly remember – We pressed cloves into the skin of an orange, rolled them in spices, and hung them as decorations. The sweet aroma filled our home, and to [...]

Decorate Your Clothes

Tweet Julia and I received a couple of cool clothing decorating kits from JAKKS Pacific recently, and let me say we had some fun! The Attaching Kit was easy to use, there was no mess, and it was a fun way to add some pizzazz to Julia’s clothes. "Style Six Attaching Kit" Create a free [...]
