I may not like winter but I love decorating for it! Between me + you if I could talk my Hubby into putting up the tree right now I'd be tempted to do so! Don't worry, I'll wait until Black Friday for that! Until then I am getting some crafts done to be ready for the moment I can put it all out! I'm not a big candle person having a toddler in the house (and of course there is this one time … [Read more...]
Kids Wind Sock {DIY Soup Can Craft} #FunCraftsWithMom
By 5 Comments
It's been a really windy fall here. I can't even keep my mums from falling over every day. Gavin recently discovered wind chimes and has been wanting to get some for our front porch. I, however, do not want to listen to them all day long and thought maybe a windsock would be more fun. He could still watch it blow but the noise won't bother anyone, like a sleeping toddler. This is also a … [Read more...]
Make Your Own Halloween Costume {DIY Frozen Pond Halloween Costume} #FunCraftsWithMom
By 4 Comments
Sometimes the best costumes aren't the ones you buy in a store but the ones you make at home. I still remember when my mom decided to make my Halloween costume in 5th grade. It was a mummy costume and she shredded sheets and I put on white sweats and she sewed the strips to my sweats. It was a fun low-cost costume but it took forever. I remember being so sick of standing there while she was so … [Read more...]

Looking for a Parent Friendly Cell Phone for Your Child?
By 6 Comments
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kajeet. All opinions are 100% mine. I can't believe Gavin is turning 8 in just a few weeks. He's getting so old so fast and I feel like I blinked and he went from a toddler to a boy. I worry sometimes I'm going to blink and he'll be Johnny's age. He's already starting to do those older kid things where he wants his independence and wants to … [Read more...]
