I love making something fun for my kids to wear on the Fourth of July and this year they’ll be sportingcoordinating bleached star shirts! To make these simple shirts for Independence Day, I bought red and blue t-shirts, tanks, and a onesie for Tate. I mixed a bleach solution of 70% bleach and 30% water in […]
A Souvenir
I’m not a kitschy person but I love little souvenirs that remind me of great times. This jar of sand with the picked-from-the-shore seashell label is the perfect reminder of our little beach getaway. I’m linking to I’ve started truncating my posts … please pop over to my blog to read the rest!
A Fairy Tea
One of Lila’s scheduled summer activities was a Fairy Tea with her little friend, Claire. The tea party took place this morning and both girls were so excited. The table was set under a shady tree in the backyard. Sparkly wands at each place, ready-to-wear wings on the backs of the chairs, water bottles with […]
Goggles
My kids all like to wear goggles in the pool but the cheap straps often snap, making the goggles useless. Luke was so upset when his Buzz Lightyear goggles broke this year that I decided to come up with a fix-it solution (I’m too cheap to buy another pair at the dollar store). I measured […]
Shadowbox Cross Art
Every year a group of my friends participates in the 3-Day 60-Mile Breast Cancer Walk. And every year they host a super-fun Bunko fundraising night with great raffle prizes. This year, two pieces of shadowbox cross art will be in the auction and I wanted to show you how these pieces of art started as […]
Homemade Microwave Popcorn
My kids love microwave popcorn {and I love the ease of it} but I wanted to find an alternative to the storebought varieties. We eat those too but I prefer to make something that has just a few ingredients in it and I really like knowing exactly what’s in the popcorn I’m making, especially when […]
Playing Ball
Tate is at the age where she really enjoys holding onto things and playing with toys so I grabbed some scraps and sewed her a ball (using this template/pattern). I filled it with bells so it’ll jingle when she tosses it around. She seems to enjoy chewing on it and rolling it around … the […]
Homemade Teething Biscuits
Now that Tate has two little teeth, I decided she needed something to bite on. I’m not a big fan of store-bought teething biscuits because they get so gummy and make such a mess. This recipe for homemade teething biscuits is perfect. They’re healthy, easy for little ones to grasp and hang on to, and almost mess-free. Tate […]
Fabric Bunny with a DIY Rattle
Since Tate’s not yet at the chocolate bunny stage and I needed something fun for her Easter basket, I sewed a little fabric bunny complete with a DIY rattle that’s repurposing at its best! The inspiration came from this adorable pattern and I just made a few small changes. I used soft blue chenille on the back and an […]
Gravy Tea April Fool’s Day Prank
I love to play April Fool’s tricks on my kids. Over the years I’ve tried many, many little pranks, hoping to fool my kiddos. It gets a little tougher as the kids get older because they’re suspicious from the minute they wake up. This year I tried this gravy tea April Fool’s Day prank on […]
DIY Resurrection Eggs
Resurrection eggs are one of my favorite Easter traditions and this DIY version is fun to put together and a great way to bring the Easter story to life. I made our set years ago when Elijah and Kenndy were tiny and we’ve been using it ever since. I think having a homemade version makes […]
Appreciation
Friday is Teacher Appreciation Day at our homeschool co-op. Among Kennedy, Luke, Lila, and Tate, there are twenty shared or different teachers and helpers. I want to show our appreciation to all the awesome women that invest in my kids but a homemade gift is the only economical and practical way to do it. This […]
DIY Upcycled Toad House
Last summer, a toad resided in our pool area and it was a complete highlight for Luke. He would look for that toad every day and he loved to show the toad off to his friends. We decided to make a DIY upcycled toad house out of a clay pot with the hope that a […]
A Vintage Dress in a Shadowbox
My three girls all wore a gorgeous vintage cotton dress for their church dedications. The dress was also worn by my mother {and maybe a generation before that}. This little heirloom dress is so beautiful and has so many sweet memories tied up in it that I wanted a way to preserve it forever. I […]
