Despite February 14th still being over a month away, re-posting last year's shaving cream valentine has opened the Valentine DIY flood gates in my brain. Of course, I could have done this project and held off on posting about it. But I'm the girl who once unwrapped all of my presents Christmas morning before bothering to wake my parents - patience isn't really my thing. Have you noticed the preponderance of plastic animal crafts popping up lately? Crafty bloggers everywhere have … [Read more...]
Making Less-Mess Cookies for Santa
I can't believe it's already Christmas Eve tomorrow. I used to be one of those people that complained about the decorating and music starting too early and dragging out the season.

Today I'm over at momtastic sharing part one of our Christmas Eve tradition, making less-mess cookies for Santa. Part two is the gourmet grilled cheese bar and tomato … [Read more...]
Roasted Tomato Basil Soup + Gourmet Grilled Cheese Bar = New Christmas Eve Tradition

Now that C is old enough to understand the whole Santa Clause thing, it was really important to the hubs and I that we celebrate at our home. We wanted to experience C coming down the stairs to see his living room … [Read more...]

Teacher Christmas Gift Idea – DIY Treat Kits
I promised I'd be back today with ideas for teacher Christmas gifts. For me, a handmade food-centric gift is the way to go. And this year I'm loving the idea of a "make-it-yourself kit" instead of a typical fruitcake. These cookie kits featured over at Lil Magoolie are a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Who wouldn't love a gift like this? (Also check out this huge roundup of Gifts-In-a-Jar Recipes for lots more ideas along the same lines) Another idea I'm … [Read more...]
My Very Best Finds for Stocking Stuffers
For some reason, this year I just can't stop coming up with stocking stuffer ideas. Maybe it's because I'm really trying to stick to my guns and pare down the number of gifts under the tree. The one thing I didn't set a hard and fast rule for were the stockings, so (of course) I'm on the verge of going totally overboard. In an effort to curb my madness share the love, today I'm sharing my very favorite picks with you... First up is the Kimochis Mini Bag of Mixed Feelings. I was … [Read more...]

Playroom mailboxes have been popping up all over the web lately and it's not hard to figure out why. Kids absolutely love getting mail and parents … [Read more...]

Plus the end product is a perfect grandparent gift. Salt dough ornaments are essentially three favorite kid activities rolled into one. First there's cooking, the little ones get to … [Read more...]
