It's that time of year again, Valentine's Day! I have loved this holiday even when I was single! Not only is it fun for couples but it's a fun holiday to share with kids!!! We have been doing several Valentine's Day crafts and over all celebrating! We had 2 craft parties making Valentine's cards for our nursing home trip. The first party was here at my casa with my family. I even got Jacob to participate :) His Valentine's were actually very funny! Madelyn and I also met up with my sister froRead More....

This past weekend my crafty friends and I got together for another one of our awesome craft parties. I only get to see this group about 4 times a year so when we do see each other it is a wild day!! Were all in the same Interior Design field so that is our common factor but we all have SUCH different back grounds BUT we click so well!!!! Love them! If you want to view some of our other parties you can click Read More....

I pretty much love having a wreath on my door for each holiday. Since Fall has been here I have been so busy it seems like. I really wanted to make a wreath that wasn't to labor intensive and that wasn't going to cost me an arm and a leg for all the materials. I went to one of my fav stores, Dollar Tree, and bought everything I needed to make my wreath. I bought 3 place mats and the wooden wreath. I'm pretty pleased with it since it took me only about 45 minutes to make and was DIRT cheap :) Read More....

So last night was Halloween. I got to tell you I am pretty glad its over so I can make my yard pretty again. I was over the whole grave yard about mid-way through the month. We went trick-or-treating with Jacobs two sisters and their kids so we had a pretty large group. Since both Jacob and I were going, no one was home to pass out candy. We did the "please take one candy" sitting outside our house. Jacob wrote the note before I could because I was going to put a guilt trip on them and tell themRead More....

As you know I have been low on motivation recently. I knew I had to make 23 goody bags or something for Madelyn's Halloween party at daycare. I lucked out with Nevaeh since they don't acknowledge Halloween at school. I already had to buy some items for their party so I didn't want to spend too much money on her treats. I saw mummies were so popular this year....... Chocolate Mummies. Read More....

Sometimes I feel like I am one big kids stuffed into pretty much the size of a 13 year old kid because i'm so short lol! Seriously, I am a big kid that likes to do LOTS of kid things! Our weeks stay pretty busy with gymnastics 2 days, Monday's are a loss because everyone is trying to get back in the groove of things, Friday is the weekend, so on Wednesday's I try to do something fun for the kids. I lit my pumpkin spice candle to get the fall smell going (I bought 3 large candles so our house Read More....

I didn't get a chance to decorate my pumpkin the night of my craft party so last night after I put the kids to sleep I decided it was the perfect time! I had the perfect winding down to my evening. I worked out, showered, poured a glass of wine, turned on my tube to Chopped and decoupaged on my living room floor. I didn't care that I was dropping bits and piecesRead More....

This past weekend I had a craft party and we mod-podged pumpkins! I invited my sister and her kiddos, Nevaeh's mom Carrie and she brought her sister, my sister in law with her kiddos and my co-worker Natalia. I have found that you can mod-podRead More....

I couldn't wait for October to get here to put my Halloween decorations up! This week was great weather so the girls and I went out and started putting our decorations ups! Each year I buy more and more decorations and always have to buy a new big bin for all the new decorations I added. Jacob is never fond of having to dig for my bins from the shed.....oh well :) Don't you know our pumpkins have been popping up out of no where! We currently have 3 that are growing and our first one that grewRead More....
