Even though I didn’t really plan anything awesome for the 4th of July, I pulled out a pack of glow sticks while we watched fireworks and it made me instantly popular with the kiddos.
It’s a good idea to always have a secret stash of glow sticks.

I’m breaking away from my baby and kiddo tutorials this week so you can get prepared for Mother’s Day. I don’t live close enough to my mom to celebrate Mother’s Day in person (sniff sniff) so I try to send something meaningful in the mail. This year, I designed a little flag book with pockets [...] This might be a little late, but I’m sharing anyway. I used this table setting at our Easter Brunch but it would work with any spring or garden party. The nest is made out of marshmallow and All Bran cereal. A few weeks back, our friend invited me and the boys to make these darling chicken cupcakes. [...] potted ranunculus on my back porch
After reading this discussion over at Bloom last week, I realized how easy it is to let the true meaning of Easter get lost in bunnies and eggs and flowers. Now, don’t get me wrong. I love spring. I love a fresh start. But I also want [...]
I actually don’t know much about St. Patrick’s Day. But I do like rainbow cupcakes–even though I’m not sure food is supposed to be such bright colors… There’s still time to enter the giveaway down below. A few things I really should be doing: I know I’m a little late on this post, but I’m still going to share! For Valentine’s Day this year, I kept it simple. I drew a few cheesy valentines on smallish pieces of paper (I think they were about 2.5″ by 4″) with my trusty Sharpie. Then I left my almost-four-year-old with his markers [...] Here is my list of tutorials I want to give a try. You should try them too. + Paper Heart Garland at How About Orange
As promised, the valentine gift card holders are in the shop and ready to ship to you! There are two designs for Valentine’s Day. First up is the Valentine’s Day Stripe. I don’t know about you, but my family is a house full of boys and none of them get real exited about pink [...] Hooray for Tutorial Tuesday! Still January = still posting tutorials about letter writing. When I was in elementary school, I did some kind of summer class at the library and that is where I learned how to write with invisible ink. Thankfully, I tested out my memory of how to do this and it worked. So [...] One reason I love Valentine’s Day is for all the love letter writing. I think every holiday should include love letters. But then again, you know how much I love letters. So, in honor of our January Letter Writing Tutorial Month, here is a simple folded heart card I thought up yesterday afternoon. The possibilities [...] |
