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! 

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! (You won't believe it!)

Y'all! I have a HUGE announcement to make regarding Usborne Books & More:

Halloween Handprints! There's still tons of time to make these before Trick-or-Treating!

There's all sorts of things you can make with handprints! I love handprint art. There's something about preserving the size of those sweet little hands...

Wishlist Wednesday: A Pick from Cocoa Puff!

Oh boy. We were watching Network TV the other day (we don't usually because we have a Roku) and a commercial came on.

I mean, Christmas Eve is already only 2 months away...

It didn't take very long and it pretty much cost nothing to make. Here is the tutorial straight from Cocoa Puff himself with a little help from Mama.

Paintings as Pretty as the Foliage! Handprint and Fingerprint Autumn Tree Pictures!

I needed an activity to keep the boys calm while I was recovering from my procedures at the GI, and I had just bought a bunch of paint, so I reached deep into the crevices of my brain and thought of this adorable craft to do with the boys. 

Halloween Painting Craft: Who Knew A Piece of Paper, Cookie Cutters, and a Little Bit of Paint Could Be So Much Fun!?

The boys and I did a flurry of painting lately. The boys' favorite was painting a Halloween picture using cookie cutters!
