Okay, I'll admit these aren't real turkey feathers, but since Thanksgiving is right around the corner it seemed like the perfect opportunity to pull out the feathers. I've had these feathers forever. They get pulled out for random projects here and there. When I taught school, I had the kids write Thanksgiving words with the tips. For Little Brother I thought it would be fun ...
Sweet Girl and I love to walk through the seasonal aisles at the stores. I love to see all the decorations. Last Christmas we visited every single store with a Christmas section and just admired their displays and decorations. Well, Halloween isn't quite as good as Christmas, but there are still some really fun things to see. One day we found these cute gel pumpkin window clings ...
Have you ever felt a complete lack of inspiration and ambition? That's how I have been feeling this week. I just have the hardest time motivating myself to get up and do everything that needs doing. So, all week I have been slowly working on this 2x4 wooden pumpkin. I got the idea for this pumpkin on Pinterest last fall, and finally got around to making it when I had a bunch ...
I recently pulled out all of my fall decorations, and as I started to put them up I realized I really don't have many fall decorations. How did this happen? So it was time to get to work and start making some new fall crafts. I found some great inspiration from the cute fall sign over at The Happy Scraps. I liked the idea of just a simple sign. As I got started ...
In the spirit of Halloween, and trying desperately to believe that it's fall despite the 90 degree temperatures, I made Sweet Girl a felt jack-o-lantern to play with on our flannel board. I wish I were good enough to free hand it, but I am a terrible freehander. I have ruined enough projects to know that by now. Instead I used patterns that I found online. ...
With the start of preschool and Husband back to work (He works in education so he has the summers off. It's so nice!) I have been having a hard time fitting in Mommy and Me School. We still do activities and we play and go on outings, but it's hard to plan a specific activity and do all the things to make it blog worthy. I don't know how you working moms do it. I'm having to ...
This week I decided to bring back one of our favorite Mommy and Me School activities, the contact paper collage. We had so much fun with this activity last time that we just had to play again. This time I used fall colored foam leaves I found at the dollar store. I taped the contact paper to our back door again and gave Sweet Girl the foam leaves. As she added them to ...
Even though the weather is still very summer like, I have been dying to put up my fall decorations. I love seeing all the fall crafts and activities on other blogs and Pinterest. So I decided it was time to make my fall wreath. I have been looking for inspiration for several weeks, and it finally struck when I saw this simple burlap wreath at Create Craft Love. Here is what ...
I am the mother of two amazing kids and I am married to an incredibly sweet and smokin' hot guy. I taught elementary school and preschool before leaving to become a stay at home mom. Now I'm embarking on the adventure of a lifetime and learning how to be a mom.
