Tate’s two and she’s busy potty training these days. If you’ve done the potty training mess before, you know how all-consuming it can be. This is my fifth go-round and, although I can’t wait for it to be a done deal, I’m well prepared. The potty is in place and I even added a little […]
A Year of Parties
While I’m reviewing the year, I thought I’d show you the parties I hosted in 2011. Kennedy had a Spa Party, the twins celebrated their birthday with a Backyard Campout, Tate splashed around at her Drips and Drops party, and I pulled off my first surprise party. I joined the national Soup Swap {which I […]
A Year of Knitting
I always think it’s fun to look back and see what’s been accomplished in a year. I was going to look at all the sewing projects I’ve done, but since I often do small embellishment-type sewing projects, I had a hard time drawing the line. I didn’t think you’d want to review 227 different projects. […]
DIY Peppermint Serving Tray
This peppermint serving tray post contains affiliate links. I first saw a peppermint serving tray idea in an old Southern Living magazine and I loved the festive look of it. What a beautiful foundation for a cheesecake or a holiday dessert, or anything, for that matter. Wouldn’t a neighbor be delighted to receive cookies delivered […]
An Edible Nativity
Along with the masses on Pinterest, we loved this adorable nativity when we saw it. It immediately went on the must-do list for December. Last weekend, the kids lined up at the kitchen island, each one with a specific job, and made this sweet {excuse the pun} little edible nativity. I put the stable and manger […]
Polar Express Pajamas
This time of year The Polar Express is pretty popular at my house. My little guy loves it. We even had a fun Polar Express party last year so this year, I decided to make some Polar Express pajamas for Luke to wear during the Christmas season. I chose fabric that was a bit more updated […]
Gift Card Wreath Teacher Gift
Teacher gifts can get complicated but this year our PTO simplified teacher gift giving with a gift card wreath teacher gift for each staff member. They were simple to organize, easy to make, and a big hit with the teachers! The PTO collected one or more gift card from each student and then divided them up […]
A Nature-Inspired Christmas Mantel
This year, the majority of the Christmas decorations have remained in the attic. It’s felt better to have small touches of Christmas here and there rather than piles of red and green everywhere. The simplicity is nice. Instead of digging out the stocking holders, I used some natural elements in our Christmas decor and created […]
Snowman on a Stick Donut Snowmen
This snowman on a stick post contains affiliate links. Yesterday I took these adorable snowman on a stick donut treats to Luke and Lila’s kindergarten class party and they were a big hit! They were really easy to make and looked so cute. They’re the perfect treat for a winter party! These snowmen on a […]
Holiday Gift Idea with Printable
One of our favorite holiday traditions is delivering a little homemade treat to our neighbors sometime during the holiday season. I like something that’s cute but really easy to throw together and not too expensive to make {even homemade snacks can really add up if you’re delivering to a pile of people}. This year I […]
A Homemade Gift :: Salted Caramel Sauce
This week, our PTO will have a final meeting before Christmas break. We have a great board of officers and I wanted to give them a little Christmas gift to show them how much I appreciate them. I made a couple of batches of Lovely Salted Caramel Sauce {from Always with Butter}. The recipe was […]
Hat Hooks for a Cowboy
While in Canton last month, I found a wrought iron gun with hooks amidst all the wrought iron cowboy decor. I knew Luke would love it and thought it would be a fun accent in his cowboy room. I hung it with a little orange vinyl above. {Don’t worry, he knows the spelling of “your” […]
Cinnamon Roll Christmas Tree Breakfast Treat
I think I use the word simple in almost every post on this blog {wink} and this idea is no different. This simple cinnamon roll Christmas tree breakfast treat starts with storebought cinnamon rolls and is a fun idea that the whole family will love … and you’ll love how quick it is to make […]
Colorful Christmas Party
I love holiday entertaining and, from the time my oldest kids were small, I’ve loved hosting Christmas parties for the kids. This week, I hosted a colorful little Christmas party for Tate and the playgroup girls. I planned the party around some bright colored Christmas balls found in Target’s Dollar Spot and added a few […]
