  • Rockin’ Drum and Music Birthday Party details

    We spent an afternoon this weekend at my niece’s second birthday party, where drums, noise, and general kid awesomeness was going on.  I HAD to share all of the fun details that went into this party.  Picture overload here… Drum Themed Food… The cake was a Costco cake that my Sister-In-Law decorated into a drum. Pretzel…

  • Faux Chalkboard Wall Art

    This DIY chalkboard sign was super easy to do.  Did you see our Easter Egg Hunt party details post?  We showed a picture of this sign that I made for the party. This chalkboard-esque sign cost less than a quarter to make and was a great touch for the Easter egg hunt.  You would never guess…

  • Share It Saturday #14 and our Week-In-Review

    Get ready to use up all that Easter candy! Somehow we cannot avoid the Peeps around Easter time…they always end up in the house.  My daughter and I made this popcorn mixture as a snack for the annual cousin Easter egg hunt.  We thought it was pretty yummy (and fun to make)!  I pretty much…

We used some materials we had around the house to create an “I Spy” sensory bag that kids can use to work on essential skills for reading and learning.     We’ve done something like this before.   Our…
