Taco Planter Gift Idea
So, I have a new obsession and it’s terra cotta planters. They’re right up there with joggers (as in the pants, I don’t run and don’t plan on it anytime soon) and this Hot Cheesy Spinach Dip. First of all, they’re super inexpensive and and can be decorated in every way imaginable. When I'm brainstorming craft ideas, I talk aloud to my husband. Ha! I say to him and not with him, because he's usually only halfway listening, however, when I suggested this Taco Planter Housewarming Gift idea his ears perked right up. I don't know if he was feeding off my…

Dad’s Cereal Bowl
I'm not sure about you guys, but do you have fend for yourself nights? Those night's when I haven't prepared dinner and time's up, everyone's hungry. Well, in our house these are fend for yourself nights. It basically means we're eating leftovers, or it's a peanut butter sandwiches or something else super easy, but I'm not putting in any effort and definitely not cooking. My husband's go to meal on fend for yourself night is usually cereal. So with Father's Day around the corner, I knew getting his own Dad's Cereal bowl would be a huge hit for him.

O’Fish’al Father’s Day Card
There is nothing better than a handmade craft from your child. They pour their little hearts into everything they do and want more than anything to please us. It melts my heart to see how proud my oldest gets after making a craft. His eyebrows go up and he smiles the biggest, cheesiest grin he can muster. It's so flippin' cute. I just can't. This O'Fish'al Father's Day Card is no exception.

Make Your Own Guest Book Gallery Wall
I've been wanting to share this post with you guys for a while now. This Guest Book Gallery Wall is probably my absolute favorite craft that we've ever done in our home and it's all because I watch too much reality TV. If you are a fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you may remember the episode when Yolanda painted the mini canvasses for her daughter. They hung a collage of them in her daughter's new apartment. I immediately thought what a cool idea and had to come up with my own version.

Bunny Binoculars
I have been saving empty toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls and egg cartons for sometime now. Not with any particular craft in mind, but knowing that they may come in handy, one day. I had two empty toilet paper rolls on the countertop, in our washroom, and my son instinctively grabbed these and put them up to his eyes and told me he could see me. We laughed together and played I see you, for the next few minutes. Since then, I've been thinking we really needed to make some binoculars and with Easter a few weeks away, Bunny Binoculars…

St. Patrick’s Day Potato Painting
St. Patrick's Day is less than a week away. Do you decorate for all the holidays? We're just starting. We've always decorated for Christmas and carved pumpkins for Halloween, but now with little kids, I feel a bit more of an obligation to do so. A happy obligation, but an obligation none-the-less. So this year, we've come up with a super simple St. Patrick's Day Potato Painting. A cute and festive wall hanging.

Kid’s Favourite Playdough
It's been raining the entire week, here in Georgia. I don't mind a nice rainy evening here or there, but I'm over it. Ben wants to go outside, I'm ready for some sunshine and fresh air. Frankly, we're all a little bored, stuck inside. That's until, my girlfriend mentioned she had made playdough this past weekend, and a light bulb went off! That's when, I decided today was homemade playdough day! This dough has easily become my Kid's Favourite Playdough.

Bean Bin For Toddlers
Beat toddler boredom with a bean bin! Or, in our case, overuse of the iPad. Our son has been particularly obsessed with electronics lately, and with a brand new baby in the house the iPad has been an easy go-to. That's when, I decided to come up with some smart distractions, Bean Bin For Toddlers was the answer.

Plan A Kid-Friendly Home Office
Plan A Kid-Friendly Home Office. Anyone who works from home knows it's hectic. I am fortunate enough to be one of these moms. I’m raising my son while balancing a full-time job. When I moved to Georgia, my family agreed to let me try working remotely, from my home office.
