This picture does not do this basket justice. It really is beautiful. Beautiful, and super easy to make. This one took about forty five minutes. It would be a fabulous gift and would be a great addition to your Christmas decorations because it adds light and a festive atmosphere wherever you put it. It can […]
Memory Plates
Wish we could say we thought this up, but it’s floating around the internet from school and crafty websites, to personal family blogs. LOVE it though. Did you know your child’s artwork can become permanent on a plain glass plate? (We even bought ours from the dollar store, to see if this DIY worked […]
Emergency Heater
I’m kind of a worrier. We’ve mentioned before that at the first “real” sign of Winter the nester in me starts up and I’m preparing for a calamity. In November I filled 8 big containers with water and put them in the garage in a nesting frenzy. In January our pipe gave out….not just […]
Rock Star Party
Future rock stars of America unite! If you want to have a fun, inexpensive and age adaptable party, a Rock Star party might be the way to go. These guitars are a cinch to make. What you’ll need: heavy tri-fold poster display boards (3 guitars per board) large paint sticks (free at Home Depot ) […]
Flip For These Flops
Pretend you’ve never seen these before…O.K… fine, but we love them. Kiddie flip-flops (or “bigger than kiddie” flip-flops) tied off with a cute bow. Ribbon that’s skinny or fat, two different colors or curly or straight. You can’t go wrong. Flip-flops for girls could match their fourth of July outfit, or even their swimming suit. I can picture some pretty sassy walks from little girls, as […]
Let’s Go Fly A….Bag ♫
I looked out the window the other day to see a plastic bag floating up in the air over my fence. Connected to the bag was a piece of yarn. Connected to the piece of yarn was a little boy, my cute neighbor Caleb. He had made a kite! It worked like a charm and kept him entertained […]
Up, Up and Away! Bubble Stabilizer
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 […]
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 […]

Want to make the easiest Easter Egg piñata ever? Our family makes a piñata for Easter that’s so cinchy you could make one tonight. One trip to the grocery store and you’re set. You only need a punchball, some decorative napkins and liquid starch. (You’ll also need a few minutes, for the parade thrown in your honor)! Blow up the punchball […]
