A couple of days ago I shared with you the Valentine’s decor I added to our family room hutch HERE. And I warned you of more decor involving a toilet. Well, only because you can see the foyer bathroom toilet in the photos. I like to add a little decor in there depending on the
Here is our seasonal hutch all decked-out in LOVE for Valentine’s Day. I am suddenly slightly completely obsessed with free printables. I downloaded two for this project, printed them at Costco and framed them. This photo collage of the girls from a few years ago is an absolute favorite of mine. I loved taking
Oh Pinterest, how I still love thee…and I love the little clippies I just finished. I got this idea from this Pinterest pin. Anyone else made anything fun for Valentine’s Day?
Sugar Cones $1.79 Icing $1.69 Mini M&Ms $2.79 Mike & Ikes $1.50 Food Coloring and other sprinkles already in the cupboard Watching my girls entertain themselves for 1.5 hours = PRICELESS Stella spent the whole time precisely “painting” each tree and methodically placing each “ornament”. Charlotte spent 15 minutes decorating her six trees and 75 minutes eating all the
Last night while catching up on the end of this season’s Boardwalk Empire (holy cow that show will make you ill and I cannot imagine the season finale that we still have left to watch) and then an episode of The Good Wife I got to make the two headbands above. They are going to

Have a beer-lover or root beer-lover to buy a gift for this season? This gift is so fun to give. And it’s super simple to create. So simple that your 4-year old can help. And it’s a craft! Just be warned that if the daycare director asks that 4-year old what “you and mom” have been doing
I needed a sweet treat for our swim lesson instructors this holiday season. This session has definitely been interesting with Charlotte moving up to the 3-year old class early since she thinks she’s a fish and with the battle continuing between Stella and Water-in-Face. FYI – Stella is winning and manages to float on her

Foam brushes to paint the little hands, check. 3 little hands, check. Stella was the bottom two layers. Then a layer
Yes, I’m still up to my eyeballs in ribbon. Still crafting whenever I can. After the fall craft show I didn’t touch it for a few weeks. But then I got some special requests here and there. A customized order to match a dress. A hair bow holder needed for a purple bedroom. And I
A lot of families have recently had a guest move into their home since Thanksgiving has come and gone…the Elf on the Shelf. Well, bah-humbug at our house. We do not succumb to the Elf because I do not need more to do this month! Very cute idea, but (in my opinion) a lot of work for the
