Sponge Bombs-Easy Summer Activity for Kids
It was HOT today! We are in the middle of a little heat wave, which usually happens for a couple of weeks in May, and today I was looking for something to cool off the boys. They love to play with the hose, but I don't love to pay the high water bills that come with that. I … [Read more...]

I had originally planned to make some of those beautiful flowers made from dyed coffee filters that you see all over Pinterest and put them on the mantel with all my other Spring decorations, but the season seems to be running away with me, and now I'm already looking … [Read more...]
Kool-aid Play Dough: Vol. 2, Day 65
A few weeks ago, Henry came home with the best play dough we've ever had. It smelled SO good and it was perfect: soft and pliable without being dry. The color in the store-bought kind always leaves marks all over my counter, and it's so "wet" it sticks to the inside of … [Read more...]

I have a love/hate relationship with today's post. You see, we decided to have an ornament exchange for our co-op's Christmas party and I was excited to try these DIY Painted Ornaments I had seen floating around Pinterest. The clear globes were so popular this year, and there … [Read more...]
Christmas Music Canvas Art
Have you ever had one of those ideas that seems really great in theory, but the reality wasn't quite what you were hoping for? Yeah, that's pretty much every single craft for me. :) I joined up with Emily from Naptime Creations to be part of a Crafty Christmas post "exchange." … [Read more...]
Vol. 2, Day 6: Rustic Rope Frame DIY
I found this super cool poster at a garage sale a few weeks ago, and I knew it would be perfect for my dad for Father's Day. He grew up in the Roy Rogers "era" and I knew he would appreciate the rules for being in the Riders club. But it was just a plain paper poster, so I knew … [Read more...]
