Yesterday we had tips on making a lovely little photo project for Dad, so how about taking it a step further with a video project today? Our resident healthy living expert, Anna, is here with something a little outside her norm. Some friends recently put together a sweet video of their girls making a craft for their Daddy on his birthday. He loved it so much that Anna naturally thought the idea would make an amazing Father's Day gift. Here she is with all the details. Hope you try it! I … [Read more...]
Last Minute Mother’s Day Ideas
Ok, so maybe a week away isn't exactly "last minute" - but it still kind of feels like the rush is on to get ready for Mother's Day, doesn't it? So I'm popping in today to share with you my 5 favorite ways to pull together a thoughtful gift for Mom this year. Before I get to that though - have you guys heard of the "Make Another Mother's Day" effort? I absolutely love the sentiment of doing something special for single Moms on Mother's Day (and for military mom's with deployed husbands too!). … [Read more...]

Make It: St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Treasure Box
Surprise! You're getting a twofer today. Since our Midweek Musing is a little light (What can I say? I just wasn't in the mood to go heavy), I wanted to also stop in and quickly share this fun St. Paddy's Day activity I put together for eHow. Sensory boxes are nothing new around here, and the rainbow variety has long been a classic. But what makes this version special is what can be found at the bottom of the rainbow - shamrocks and leprechaun gold, of course. Pop over here for all the … [Read more...]
Candy-Free Valentine: Cleaning Baskets the Whole Family Will Love
You know what's great about having toddlers around? They actually want to clean! It's a treat to them. So much so that I'm giving my littles cleaning baskets for Valentine's Day because I know they'll adore them - not because the net result will be a cleaner home for me (that's just a bonus). Actually, I already gave my tots a sneak peak of the goods so I could show you how much they loved their new kits... Love them they did and I'm positive your kids will feel the same. Unless they've … [Read more...]

How to Make Designer Holiday Cards at Home
I am head over heels in love with the gorgeous holiday stationery offerings by fabulous companies like minted. The problem is I send out a lot of holiday cards. A lot, as in over 100. Is that crazy? Am I normal? I’m not sure, but I do know that it adds up quickly, especially when you factor in postage. Despite the cost, what really holds me back is the commitment to one design. I like to tailor my messages and photos to groups of people. Close friends, for example, are likely to receive a more … [Read more...]
