I thought this idea was so adorable. I can’t take any credit, as my son brought it home from school. It’s a great, innexpensive craft idea that uses things you probably already have. For this craft, my son’s teachers drew the lines where the “bones” were to go with chalk on black construction paper. My […]
Today we had a huge wind storm which left our backyard completely yellow and brown with leaves. Since I’m going to make my husband be the one to rake them up, I decided to give him a hand and pick up a five or six for a craft. You’re welcome, husband. Supplies Needed: Leaves Computer […]
Tomorrow is the first day of October! In my opinion, this makes it officially okay to get out the Halloween decorations. Here are some ghosts we made last year. You can tell the ones made by older kids and those made by younger kids. No matter what age though, these are great fun for kids […]

As I stated before, I like to get an early start on my Christmas gifts. One great Christmas gift is a collection of recipes. This can be in the form of a homemade cookbook, a box of recipes on cards, or even an electronic compilation. Below are some ideas for how to organize these recipes. […]
I thought I’d share the recipes I used to make my husband dinner on Father’s Day. For the main course, he requested lasagna. Having never made lasagna, I had to hunt down the perfect recipe. When I found one called “Lots o’ Meat Lasagna,” I knew that was the perfect recipe for my husband. He […]
As a reminder, Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday (June 19)! This is one of my favorite gifts I’ve made for Father’s Day. I made one for my husband and my dad a few years back. This was so easy to make. All I did was open my favorite pictures in Adobe Photoshop. I […]
I love Memorial Day. It’s great to have a 3-day weekend to spend some extra time with family swimming, having bbqs, hiking, etc. But there should be more to Memorial Day than this. I love a good bbq as much as anyone else, and fully intend to celebrate with one this Monday, but it’s important […]
