Wishlist Wednesday: Arcade Edition

Who doesn't love arcade games? We sure do. We don't get the chance to go to an arcade very often since there aren't any here in our teeny tiny town, but when we are willing to make the drive or are in another town anyway, we do try to go.

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! 

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!

Wishlist Wednesday: The ONLY THING Froot Loop Wants For Christmas

Froot Loop loves electricity. Don't laugh. He does. He is obsessed with becoming an electrician. He loves light switches and fans and circuits and wires. His latest big thing is watching HGTV. He recently told me that there's only ONE THING he wants for Christmas... 

How we Made our "Thankful Tree" (a Thanksgiving Tradition of ours)

One of our Thanksgiving traditions we started is to do a "Thankful Tree." It is such a fun project to do as a family and it makes for a striking decoration as well! 

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... I look back on Froot Loop and Cocoa Puff's little handprints and I wonder how they ever could have been so small. They're growing up way too fast. 

Super Easy TP Ghost Craft

We're just rollin' out the Halloween crafts like crazy over here! Cocoa Puff and I made a really sweet ghost craft using only a few supplies I already had around the house. 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.

Cocoa Puff begged me to do a craft with him the other day, so I whipped up this quick, spooky, cute, Halloween craft made from some cotton balls, glue, string, paper, and a marker.

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!
