You might think the answer is “redecorate the house” or “get caught up on the countless neglected baby books.” Nope, not this mama. My very first project "post-retirement” was to make a big black View Post
As we face the time of year where the days are shorter and the nights are longer, there is nothing more comforting as family time around a table decorated with lit candles.

I have over the past few months had a lot of fun with LEGO Minifigures! I may or may not carry them in my purse, just in case a photo opportunity should present itself. The latest series of LEGO Minifigure blind bags, series # 14 is Halloween-themed and SO much fun! Thank you, LEGO for sending me a View Post
Our kids LOVE to paint! Anything that involves a paint brush and color is an automatic parenting WIN in our house – and keeps ALL the kids occupied for a good while! One of my favorite bloggers Julie at Emma Owl has incredibly creative craft ideas for kids of all ages. I love her painting projects View Post
Thoughtful Father's Day Gifts From the Kids Father's Day is around the corner and it is time to celebrate the super hero in your child's life. Of course you also have super hero status, however there is something special about "Dada" – and rightfully so. I have pulled together ideas and View Post

These bright and cheerful melted Perler fuse bead bowls are so easy a three year old can make them! Actually our three year old DID make these. Tomorrow our six and eight year olds want to make some too, because they felt like they missed out on ALL the fun! These bowls are surprisingly durable View Post
We recently discovered a super fun craft activity for the boys: making our own Angry Birds out of polymer clay! The clay is a little harder to manipulate than PlayDoh, which is perfect for our purpose. I am always looking for ways to strengthen the boys' fine motor skills and hand muscles. View Post
I recently discovered the 8th wonder of the world: spray paint! I have heard women talk about how it transformed their lives, decorating once again became fun and their creativity was rejuvenated from the endless possibilities, much like how owning a glue gun can change you - I too am a believer View Post
Your kids have exceeded their screen time, but the Minecraft and Pokemon obsessions are strong, show them these Pokemon and Minecraft perler bead patterns. I love my kids, I really do.

As soon as Christmas and Valentine's Day are over, the kids start asking about the Easter Bunny. I have to admit, I also love Easter: the beautiful sunrise church service, the newness of spring in the air, the soothing pastel colors and the most delicious chocolate treats, what is there not to love View Post
Let's have fun with some easy kid-friendly DIY Christmas ornaments today! It’s that time of year, where all the creative ideas are flowing freely - at least in other people’s minds, or so it seems.
