With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I thought I’d share a little bit of what we did around the house for the holiday. Our tradition is to make pink, heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast (and, if I’m being honest, sometimes for lunch or dinner too!). I have a set of pancake molds that I use for this Read more about A little love.[…]
Lilah turned six last month and we celebrated with an art-themed party! I had so much fun planning it and even more fun watching here and her friends together. The girls played outside, ate lots of snacks and opened gifts. For the “artsy” part, they did canvas paintings and made beaded bracelets. We also gave Read more about Lilah’s rainbow art party.[…]
My son Owen is in LOVE with Disney’s Jake and the Neverland Pirates cartoon. So when he turned two in December, I decided to throw him a little pirate-themed party. I have such a good time planning parties for my kids knowing how excited they will be to see their favorite characters and themes come Read more about Owen’s Pirate Party[…]
My son is in love with cranes. And dump trucks. And diggers. And scoops. But, especially cranes. So for his fourth birthday, we went that theme. He received a GIANT toy remote control crane for Christmas, so I thought it would be the perfect “prop”.

Is it bad etiquette to blog about your Christmas cards before they are even in the mail? Hope not! This year, I was all set to buy a Shutterfly photo card with our family photo on it, but when it came time to send the order in, I just couldn’t. So expensive! And with postage, Read more about DIY Christmas cards.[…]

I decided to try to make mine and planned to create small felt rosettes to cover existing ball ornaments. Seemed simple enough. And it was. But multiply one simple rosette x 30 x three ornaments and you find Read more about DIY Ornaments.[…]
Lilah turned five in May (yes, May. I know, I’m behind.) and we let her have a few friends over to celebrate, in lieu of the typical family party. She loved it and the kids had such a great time. I kept it simple and used a cupcake theme. I borrowed one of those giant Read more about Lilah’s cupcake party.[…]
I have to admit, I have been a little scared to take my three kids on vacation. The idea of hours of travel, via plane or car, have intimidated the hell out of me. Because of this, the furthest we’ve taken our kids is to Lake of the Ozarks last summer. And that was only Read more about Confessions of a Shameless Mother[…]
Finally got the Valentine’s décor down! Luckily, I designed my “LOVE” signs to just be flipped around for the next holiday – St. Patrick’s Day! If it’s not super easy, it may not get down around here, ya know. I also wanted to replace the heart art that I made last month. So I put Read more about Project No. 9 – St. Patrick’s Day art[…]
For Graham’s 3rd birthday, we went with a fishing theme. He really wanted another train party, but I drew the line. (I can’t believe how much he still loves his trains!!!) I really had fun with the fish theme. Don’t you think that Pinterest and the web is totally changing the face of children’s birthday Read more about Project No. 8 – Graham’s Fishing Party[…]
