The adult table has been set since yesterday and now the kids’ table for Thanksgiving is ready. I expect lots of loudness and laughter from this table and I can’t wait! I love to cover kids’ tables with kraft paper {rolls of kraft wrapping paper are the easiest way to do this} and set out […]
Set :: The Thanksgiving Table
Thanksgiving preparations are well under way. The turkey is brining, pies are baked, and prep work is complete for the side dishes. This year we’ll have fifteen people for dinner so the adults and children will sit separately. The adult Thanksgiving table is set and ready for the feast. I used this fun {and free} printable […]
Turkey Shirts for my Little Turkeys
I like to have special, themed shirts for the three little kids in our family to wear on Thanksgiving Day. The shirts add a more festive touch to the day and they add a bit of coordination to all the holiday photos that get taken during the festivities. This year, I made little turkey shirts […]
DIY Etched Monogrammed Glass Pendant
This etched monogrammed glass pendant post contains affiliate links. I have a bunch of glass pieces in my craft supplies, left over from my days of making soldered jewelry and ornaments. Did anyone else hop on that trend? I was brainstorming unique projects for using the pieces and came up with the idea to make […]
Thirteen :: A Scavenger Hunt Party
My firstborn is a teenager. Today is his thirteenth birthday and I can hardly believe he’s that old. He’s an amazing kid and I’m so proud of him and of who he’s becoming. Last night we celebrated Elijah with a Scavenger Hunt party. I think it was one of the easiest parties I’ve planned and maybe […]
Chalkboard Chargers
I loved the idea of chalkboard chargers when I saw them on Tatertots and Jello. Earlier this week, I got together with friends to make some. It was their birthday gift to me … isn’t that fun? I love the way they turned out (don’t they look cute with my looks-like-transferware-paper-plates?) and am envisioning […]
Paper Garlands
Paper garlands are one of my favorite things. I made one for Tate’s party and Elijah’s having one too. His is very plain and teenager-ish, don’t you think? I’m thinking this garland might get recycled as a decoration for the Thanksgiving table. I’ve started truncating my posts … please pop over to my blog to […]
Soccer Cupcakes
Lila played her last soccer game today (and had a fantastic first season!) and tonight we’ll celebrate the team’s success with pizza, cupcakes, and trophies. I loved these cupcakes (found in Parents magazine and baked in orange cupcake wrappers to represent the team color) although they involved a bit of creative license since Oreo Thin […]
Silhouette Love
My Silhouette arrived today {I was giddy when that Fed Ex truck drove up} and I couldn’t wait to tackle my first project. The blades were cutting within hours of arrival. Elijah’s having a birthday party next Friday to celebrate turning thirteen. He didn’t want a party last year but decided it would be fun […]
Book Page Paper Bows
With November quickly approaching, I’m thinking about getting Christmas presents wrapped and shipped to family that lives far away. Every year I like to try to coordinate my wrapping around a theme and this year the gifts are all going to be topped with upcycled book page paper bows! The bows take just minutes to make, […]
How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds
After carving our pumpkins, if I don’t get completely bored with the tedious task of separating the goo from the seeds {it’s the worst, isn’t it?}, I like to roast the pumpkin seeds. Last night’s seeds got roasted today and will probably be completely eaten by tomorrow because we love them so much! Let me […]
Little Robots
I love the little boy/girl robot templates available on the Lil Blue Boo site. Luke and Lila thought it would be fun to have coordinating shirts so I dug out the fabric scraps and made these today (I’m really wishing I had made one for Tate too). I left my edges raw because you know […]
A Belt for a Boy
Luke just made the transition into 5T clothes, which he needs for length but not for the waist circumference. My poor skinny child looks like a gangster with his pants around his bottom. {Was that totally politically incorrect?} I found this cute belt idea and pretty much copied it. I even had a similar ribbon […]
A Halloween Party
Our house was noisy and fun this morning. Luke and Lila’s playgroup came over for a little Halloween party. We planned a few little crafts … decorating wooden masks {I wish I had taken a photo of all the kids wearing their completed masks}, stringing Halloween-themed candy necklaces … … and making handprint spiders {idea […]
