Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Now that we've all stuffed ourselves and, hopefully, had a great day with the family - it's time to get a little Christmas shopping done. I stayed up extra late last night/this morning to scour Amazon for deals they're running on any and all of the 350+ Toys featured in our gift guides this year. I really hope this goes a long way to saving you a little time and money today! You'll find the toys on sale from each of our gift guides below - each … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving Craft: Family Hands Turkey
Here's a quick and messy little art project for you to tackle with the family this weekend. I first did this at C's toddler group years ago, but it wasn't quite as impressive with only three handprints to fill it out. Now, as a family of five, we make quite the turkey - if I do say so myself. (Although I didn't manage to get all the full cooperation of all three kids until after the project was photographed - imagine that - so you'll just have to settle for a 4-handed turkey for today.) Check … [Read more...]
4 Things About Having 3 Kids (That Nobody Ever Talks About)
One of my favorite parts of this strange and unexpected blogging career of mine, is that I get to play so many different roles. Some days I'm a managing editor, some days I'm a photographer and graphic designer, some days I'm even a coder (those are usually dark days indeed). Some of my favorite days lately have been when I get to put on my "writer" hat over at eHow's Mom Channel. I've been stretching myself a bit this year and taking on more parenting topics (less crafts and DIYs). This … [Read more...]

Kid Craft: Paper Leaf Thankfulness Garland
Happy Monday guys, hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend! It's so hard to believe it's already November... it seems like I just had baby M and he's already 7 months old. And don't even get me started on his older siblings - while M is busy growing his first tooth, his big brother has suddenly lost three in rapid succession. As usual for this time of year, I'm feeling like things are moving too fast and I'm yearning for ways to slow down and be in the moment. This Paper Leaf … [Read more...]

20 Treats Perfect for “Booing” Your Neighbors
I don't know about you guys but it's been an eventful couple of weeks around here lately! Along with turning 6 (what?!?!) my oldest lost his first and his second tooth. He opted to leave the first tooth for the Tooth Fairy but to keep the second. I lived for Tooth Fairy visits when I was his age so I couldn't quite fathom this idea but, hey, to each his own. This led to a rousing discussion on how much $$$ the Tooth Fairy leaves on the MPMK facebook page. Also this week, I shared 20 Treats … [Read more...]
