It’s finally Spring. The kids want to be out. You WANT the kids to be out. It’s perfect “bubble weather”. This is the best bubble solution recipe I’ve found. If you make it the night before it’s even better. Scoot your kiddies out the door. 1/2 cup liquid dish soap (Dawn or Joy work best, […]
POW! BANG! BAM!
BOOM, BOOM, POW! How do you like me now? We were first introduced to the marshmallow gun in Jackson Hole, Wyoming where we paid $12.00 only to realize, that even anti-crafties could make one. We took it apart, measured the pieces of PVC sprinkler pipe and made twenty, (not a typo), twenty more. My oldest […]
Party For Three
Easter is over. Have you tripped over any of the stuffed Easter toys yet?If you have, your problems are officially over! Those stuffed bunnies and beanie animals just need a place to be. Sometimes when I‘m breaking up a box to be recycled I wonder if there’s something else that box could be. I found an old clementine box that […]
Oodles Of Pool Noodles
Pool noodles. I’ve been tripping over one I’ve had a “plan” for since last summer. I’d tuck it somewhere and it would reappear,(usually at night on my stairs, waiting for me like a ninja). Anyway, did you know you could cut a pool noodle as easy a cutting through wheat bread? We cut up several colors of pool noodles […]
DIY Tooth Fairy Box
I have to admit I was surprised that my daughter was so fond of this easy DIY Tooth Fairy Box. Sometimes I forget how simple things can be. Often, we’re the complicators. This easy craft was a pleasant reminder to simplify, because I like simple, it’s so…..simple. However, if you’re one of those “complicators” you can easily whip out some cute fabric and embellishments and […]
No Green Thumb Required
Spring has sprung and my kids have loved watching their world (the neighborhood) blossom and grow. They had an absolute blast making these charming little Easter grass baskets. Everyday they run downstairs to the kitchen window to check the progress the grass has made. And just like flowers, bringing the grass indoors adds to any room. […]

Can You Hear Me Now?
Yesterday we had our very first “accidental post”. The publish and save buttons are really close. There is no way to come back from that. Wait. I mean… yesterday we sent you a “teaser” for today’s post. Yea. We meant to do that. Today’s post is a fun way to help your child learn their phone number or even dial 911. First, […]
Hula Hoop Hideout
O.k. I know you can see a hand holding up our hoola hoop hide out. Still, it’s a great idea. Made with a hoola hoop and a group of three long draperies or even cloth shower curtains. Hit the clearance aisle and see what you can find. This hide out is “take downable” which I love. It can be […]
