Keepsake Heart Handprint Craft for Valentine's Day (or Whenever)

The boys wanted to make Grandma and Grandpa something special for Valentine's Day this year. We decided to make a handprint heart picture for them to hang somewhere in their house. 

Happy Heavenly Birthday

Today is my Grandmother's first Heavenly birthday. She passed away last March, so that makes this her first birthday since her passing from this earth into Heaven.

10 Things: Ten Must-Have Accessories for Your Doll House

Froot Loop got a big "Doll House" for Christmas. He could care less about the doll aspect of it: He wanted to remodel it and put furniture in it as well as wire it up with lights and fans and other electricity. It's going to be a FUN project for us to do together and I'm really looking forward to it. 

FREEZE! (Tools to freeze your own baby food or purees!)

Oh man, all the homemade baby food. All the pumped breast milk. All the freezer space being taken up by these two. Totally worth it, but man, a lot of work. Here’s two containers that made my life a little easier when I was deep in newborn and baby land.

Having GallBladder Removal Surgery

Well, I'm two weeks out from gallbladder removal surgery. It's been quite an adventure, so I thought I'd tell all y'all all about it. BE WARNED I HAVE INCLUDED PHOTOS OF MY HEALING INCISIONS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE ARTICLE!

DIY Advent calendars for kids

We have a bit of a holiday tradition around here of having advent calendars. I made two of them... one for each kid... a couple of years ago and they're always a huge hit. The boys love counting down to Christmas! 

Building a LEGO table out of an old piano bench

I've got two LEGO obsessed kiddos. Cocoa Puff still prefers to play with Duplo blocks, but he's starting to get the feel of the smaller LEGOS, especially since LEGO released the LEGO juniors kits which are made for kids transitioning from Duplo to LEGO. Since our house is overrun by LEGOs, I made this LEGO table for Froot Loop out of an old piano bench! 

Tis the Season! Christmas is upon us!

Happy Day after Thanksgiving! I hope y'all had a wonderful day with friends and family and were able to eat lots of yummy food!
