It's hard to believe that Easter is next weekend. It's so early this year! I never got around to bringing up the Easter decorations from the basement and in fact I think there are a few stray Christmas decorations still out around the house (oops). I have a hard time figuring out gifts for my kids… Continue reading Homemade Easter Gifts for Kids

You Rule Valentine!
For preschool valentines this year I showed my son a bunch of ideas on Pinterest and let him pick one. Last year we did the "Have a Ball Valentine!", which I chose. This year he chose "You Rule Valentine!". And although there were several really cute printables already out there, Benzo made a new simple… Continue reading You Rule Valentine!

Kool-Aid Dyed Play Silks
Play silks are exactly what they sound like - big pieces of silk you play with. I ran into the idea when I was searching for non-toy gift ideas for toddlers and preschoolers in December. I found a great list on Nourishing Minimalism, and #16 was play silks. I had never heard of play silks… Continue reading Kool-Aid Dyed Play Silks

Velcro Stick Art
I mentioned a few weeks ago that for this past Christmas Benzo and I did a lot of DIY gifts for our kids. One of them was velcro stick art. We've been playing with it a lot lately so I thought I would share the project on the blog. It is literally the EASIEST project… Continue reading Velcro Stick Art

Valen-Slime
I saw a recipe for homemade slime on Pinterest (of course) and thought it would make a fun DIY gift for my boys for Valentine's Day. I had never made anything like it before and since my 3 year old loves Play-doh I figured he would like slime. It seemed simple, only three ingredients other… Continue reading Valen-Slime

Last night we let our older son stay up a little later after dinner to help put together his valentines for his classmates.

Curtain Tie Backs
I suddenly have a bit of time to myself this morning and thought I would write up this blog that's been sitting in my head for awhile. Benzo took the big kid to an art class and the little one is asleep in the swing next to me. I should probably clean up the pile… Continue reading Curtain Tie Backs

Whale Canvas Nursery Art
The past few months my main house projects have been putting together the nursery and a big boy room for my older son. I haven't been much of a decorator in the past but this time I really enjoyed it! I did a few crafty projects for both rooms and the one I wanted to… Continue reading Whale Canvas Nursery Art

Unpaper Cloth Napkins
I always wanted to make my own cloth napkins. But then I had a kid and life happens and I just never got around to it. Finally I broke down and bought some from Etsy a few weeks ago. Side note: I absolutely love Etsy to the point of being mildly obsessed. Anyone else have… Continue reading Unpaper Cloth Napkins

Diaper Drying Rack
Remember when I posted about uses for recalled cribs? Well I pulled out one of the sides of our recalled crib and brought it upstairs with an idea in mind: A diaper drying rack! We are cloth diapering Jack and I like to line dry the outer part to hopefully help them last longer. I just… Continue reading Diaper Drying Rack
