I have so many posts in my head to share with you, it isn’t even funny, but before I tell — and show! — you what’s been keeping us busy, I wanted to share this great Christmas book with you! It was written and published by my friend Angie’s husband, Jay Foreman, and it’s a [...]

One of our family traditions is that each of our girls gets a birthday tea party each year starting at 3 years old (yet one more reason I’m scared to have a baby boy – I have no idea what the equivalent of this tradition would be!).
I’m not really a fan of big birthday parties, [...]

I absolutely love felt projects because there are so many possibilities, and it is so, so, so easy to work with!
So it’s no surprise that when I saw this princess wand at Zakka Life and this princess hat at Skip to My Lou, I just knew they’d be perfect for Monkey Doodle’s birthday. I literally [...]

I love celebrating my girls’ birthdays! Although we don’t usually spend a lot of money, we try to fill at least two weeks with fun and celebrations and special memories just for them.
This week, we are in the midst of celebrating Monkey Doodle’s 3rd birthday. I’m not sure how this sweet baby girl got to [...]

Forget traditional party favor bags! These pop-top cans that I first found at Crafts on a Whim make an adorable alternative that’s not only cute, but also fun!
Obviously you can dress these up a lot more than I did (hey, first trimester = morning sickness and exhaustion, remember?), but I actually think they turned out [...]

(Being the good blogger that I am, I remembered to take this picture minutes *after* giving it to an excited two-year-old, hence the finger swipes in the icing!)
These cupcakes could not have been easier, but they turned out so cute!
Make and frost cupcakes as usual and top with a shaped candy cane heart.
Voila!
Cute, easy, fun. [...]

(Think I can get away with posting Valentine’s Day crafts and treats without anyone noticing that it’s a week after the holiday? We didn’t celebrate until Monday when Brittany and her girls came for a little party, and I figure at least the ideas will be here for next year!)

Marie from Make and Takes shared [...]

I’ve been thinking about these posts since we put our Christmas tree up almost a month ago, but I figured I better wait until most people had their trees up as well! I’d love to share some of my favorite Christmas ornaments with you, and I hope you’ll do the same. Just post on your [...]

Just in case any of you get the bright idea to use two of your children’s handprints to make “kissing turkeys”, let me save you from making an extremely dumb mistake. It’s important that you remember that turkeys actually have beaks sticking out from the front of their faces, and you’ll want to leave room [...]

Not only do I love fall crafts, but I LOVE turkey crafts. There are SO many different options available, and they’re so much fun since most of them start with a handprint, which kids love.
Here are three crafts that we did last year while reading a book about the five senses – a spice turkey [...]
