Easter egg hunts are so much fun to witness, if you ask me. Last year was the first time my son was old enough to understand the concept of the hunt, so it was quite low key and simple. (I think it was even contained to only one room. It was raining so it had …

One of the best parts of Valentine’s Day as a kid is putting together your classroom valentines to take to your classmates (making sure to choose the best one for that special crush, of course). February 14th is this week and you’ll soon be helping your kid prepare his or her valentines. Before you start …

It’s time for all things Valentine’s Day including this adorable Penguin Valentine’s Day Craft! I love reading books about love with my kids, baking treats, and pulling out all the Valentine’s Day craft supplies. Bring on the pink and red paper, doilies, glitter glue, and google-y eyes! This week my kids and I merged the …

There is something so redeeming about Valentine’s Day. A day set aside to show love and appreciation to the special people in our lives is such a great reminder to stop, pause and reflect. I’m all for it and adore celebrating Valentine’s Day for the entire month of February even with Valentine’s Day house decorations. …

So much holiday baking to do – so little time! Today I’m sharing a super yummy (and easy!) recipe for the holidays. Rice Krispie treats are not only for kids. If you make them like we are today, it becomes a fabulous holiday dessert that not only kids will love but adults will too! We are mixing up …

1. A sippy cup that doesn’t leak. But it can’t be too hard to drink from either. Oh, and it can’t get smelly. It also needs to have a lid without any parts or straws and it has to be made from safe, non-toxic materials. One last thing- if it could be free of any …

I have some friends who are amazing designers and home decorators. The regular old Christmas decorations just don’t cut it for them, so they need something more original and interesting. They always come up with the most fabulous alternatives and wow me with their unique decor ideas. Christmas stockings are no exception. This year, I …

When it comes to pajamas, the holidays are my favorite time of year! As soon as Thanksgiving starts approaching, I’m already planning out which Christmas jammies the family is wearing this year. Yep, for about 6 weeks, we all sport matching pjs. (Believe me, Dad Gizmo is SUPER excited about this! LOL! Thankfully he plays …

Gone are the days where I spend money on expensive bubble soaps. I’ve morphed into a bath salts kind of girl. Especially since it is so easy to make my own! I’ve been mixing up various essential oil blends to suite my needs and favorite scents and figured, why not keep on mixin’ and bless …

If we all sat down and looked at our budgets, I think we’d agree that November and December are usually the most expensive months of the year. Shame on Christmas prep and gift buying! Well, not really 🙂 Us mamas tend to love splurging a bit around the holidays – decorating, gifting, giving, baking, extra activities… it’s all …
