All Natural Easter Egg Dyeing

Thursday, March 18th, 2010 in Crafts, Health, party time

This is a great way to dye your Easter eggs this year (by the way, Easter is in 18 days!) for whatever reason matters the most to you: it’s a fun science experiment, you stay away from commercial dyes, it is cheap AND its just something new and different!

Art Project Idea

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 in Beauty in Everyday, Crafts, family

Very simple and easy idea to spice up coloring time: Take an old poster board, flip it over and trace an over-sized “coloring page” on the page. For some reason, having it over-sized and drawn by Mommy is very exciting.

Ahh, the little things that make them feel like they are really living the life.
Although, I [...]

Baby Girl’s Room Makeover: Project #3–Toy Chest

Friday, February 19th, 2010 in Crafts

I did it! Don’t look TOO closely at the pictures because I honestly should not be allowed to paint things.  But I still love the outcome of my idea.
Before Picture:

I stripped all of the paint off of this toy chest.  Who knew it would take so long? I’ll tell you why I took so long…about halfway through, [...]

Art Lesson: Pastels & Landscapes

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 in Crafts

It’s been a while since I have posted an Art Lesson, but we still do them! Sometimes I have my camera sitting around.  Sometimes it’s out in my car. And you guys know, in the wintertime it’s a long trip to get something from the car.  It just doesn’t happen…
The other day we were looking at landscape [...]

I Love You Note Tree (Repeat)

Saturday, February 6th, 2010 in Crafts

I posted this back in January, but wanted to do a “repeat” since it is now 8 days till V-Day!
Every day, we have been picking a heart from the tree and do something nice for the person whose name is on the heart.   It could be a plate of cookies or just a quick email [...]

Be My Valentine Bracelets

Friday, February 5th, 2010 in Crafts, party time

These “Be Mine Valentine Bracelets” are AMAZING (in my humble opinion)! How clever is this?  You could even tie one of these around a lollipop to bulk it up as a school Valentine’s Day Gift. The “Be Mine” messages are IN the bracelet, which is just made of a small piece of ribbon and itty bitty pieces of velcro.

Supplies:
Label [...]

Baby Girl’s Room Makeover: Project #1–”Special” Boxes for “Special” Things

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 in Crafts, family, party time

A few weeks ago we started rearranging all the rooms in our house and Baby Girl’s room has been sitting…well, like this…for quite a while:

Embarassing. Ok, well I am redoing it and using the song, “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley as the theme. JUST YOU WAIT, it is going to be amazing. I am doing [...]

I Love You Note Tree

Friday, January 15th, 2010 in Crafts

Yes, I am posting a Valentine’s Day Activity 30 days before Valentine’s Day.  It’s ok to do that because it is a countdown tree.
Every day, we pick a heart from the tree and do something nice for the person whose name is on the heart.   It could be a plate of cookies or just a quick [...]
