play creatively
March and April are big birthday months around here (My oldest turned 8 recently and I just might have turned another year older a week or so ago). So what better way to celebrate than with a DIY play birthday cake! And out of our favorite repurposed items such as an oatmeal box and duct tape makes this …
Little O has been going absolutely nuts for our recent Easter Bunny Egg on a Shelf (sort of inspired by Elf on a Shelf but we have no story behind him, he just sits there. But you could add a story if you wanted to). I think I’ll fill him up with candy (after closing …
This kid turned 8 yesterday and I can hardly believe it. 8 is such a milestone, a bridge between being a “little” kid to, oh I don’t know what, an bigger kid. We had fun celebrating with him with a little hike, some family gifts, dinner and a Harry Potter movie (which he’s all into …
Don’t say I didn’t warn you about my love of bunnies. So we had to do a couple of “boy” versions or our paper plate bunny friend. You could still make these into bags or just fill with candy and place inside your little one’s Easter basket. I love the idea of having your little …
I must give you fair warning that I’m a little bit obsessed with bunnies (do you find that there are a few animals that you always gravitate to? lions, llamas, bunnies, polar and black bears are top hitters for me) so when a holiday comes about that includes say, oh an Easter Bunny, well I …
This time of year is always so inspiring for me. Must be the LOVELY LOVE in the air… I know we’ve shared a few valentines ideas already (and you guys are as wild about the animal envelopes as we are! I’m loving seeing all the versions your littles are making on Instagram!) but I couldn’t help …
My good friend Stephanie (who hosted my baby shower seen here) has this great Valentine’s get together every year just for the gals. Anyway, it’s super fun, filled with delightful people and A-mazing valentines (I still have intense cravings for a certain waffle cookie that was passed one year). A couple of years ago I …
We’ve been having so much fun with our Animal Envelopes that we couldn’t stop and just one or two! So we decided to take it even further and make a complete set of Animal Envelope Valentines! To make them we pretty much followed our original technique, only this time we used smaller envelopes and added a …
We had a lot of un the other afternoon making these little Animal envelopes. They would be so cute filled with candy hearts and a note for your favorite Valentine. I think we’ll use ours for a teacher Valentine. Get the full DIY over on Minted today!
Send your little one off to school this week with this custom Christmas tree eraser stamped card that they can personalize themselves. Their teacher is sure to love it – and the handwritten not inside. (This year AJ was sure to remind his teacher that he’s been very good and has avoided quite a bit …
