Valentine's Day Party Favors and Class Handouts!

Froot Loop's class recently had their Fairy Tale unit. It was a lot of fun and it all culminated in a big Fairy Tale Festival at school. There were lots of fun costumes and streamers and crafts. Anyway, I found a use for some of the leftover streamers! Check out what I made...

Valentine's Day Windsock Mobile Craft

We've been crafting like crazy over here! The boys and I made these adorable Valentine's Day decorations that are sort of a cross between a windsock and a mobile. They were pretty easy enough to make and I even had everything on hand to make them! 

Wreath Around the Rosy... (Valentine's Day Wreath Tutorial)

I just LOVE wreaths, especially for holidays, but I don't really like paying so much for them. I've been making my own and I'm pretty happy with the results! 

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. 

My New Favorite Useful Thing: Curtain Rings with Clips

I have a new favorite thing! I have used these curtain rings with clips in several different ways now, and I just HAVE to share it with you. 

I made my own Christmas wreaths!

Back when I was in grad school, I made a wreath for myself. I put chili peppers and all sorts of fun things in it. I still have it and still display it, but it's starting to fall apart. I decided to make a myriad of wreaths this year, for myself and for gifts. This is what I came up with! 

Christmas Wreath Cookies

We've been cookie crazy over here. No, not eating them, although the boys have been devouring their share of cookies for sure, but decorating them! After a cookie decorating party we hosted at church for our preschool/kindergarten kiddos, Froot Loop wanted to decorate some more cookies for his teachers! We decided to make wreath cookies! 

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!
