School Valentine
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. This isn’t a holiday we make a big deal about but any holiday like this this is fun for me to get creative. Our school does not allow food items when there are holiday or birthday celebrations. This is perfectly fine with me because we don’t really want […]

Staying Healthy In The Winter
In the Chicagoland we’ve had some pretty inconsistent weather this fall/winter. As I put my Christmas light outside after Thanksgiving we still had leaves on the bushes. I had just told my husband that I remember as a kid we would stuff old jeans and flannels with leaves to make scarecrows for the fall and […]

Minnie Mouse Digital Download
The other day I was finally going to check an item off of my list and create the Minnie Mouse digital come inside door sign. It happened to be the day that a bunch of sites were taken down for a while due to a cyber denial of service attack. Etsy, Pinterest, Twitter and a […]

For anyone that isn’t familiar with project management it’s like an accountant letting their CPA go. When I quit […]

Train 3rd Birthday
It’s no surprise around here that this year was a train birthday party. JP loves any train, not just Thomas so I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a Thomas party but we aren’t really ‘vintage’ style people either so it actually took me a while to figure out how to make the theme work. […]

Growing my Etsy shop
I will slowly be adding items to my shop and will likely focus on downloadable printables. I love crafting and hand making items for parties and things like that but I want time for that to be my own hobby and not having the only time I do it to be for ‘work’. JP has […]

Macaroni Day
There is a day for everything! I actually really like that there is because it helps with ideas on things to do with the kids. Supplies needed:-noodles (any kind you can thread through)-rubbing alcohol-food coloring-paper towels-cookie trays-baggies-rubber/plastic glove-yarn-tape-paper cups-pipe cleaners-hole punch This list seems long but it’s likely a lot of things you already have.

4th of July Star Wand
It’s the 4th of July and a lot of these kiddos are probably a little young for sparklers and other fun but potentially dangerous activities that come with the holiday. Something for them to shake and catch their eye was what I was going for. Supplies needed: -popsicle sticks -festive garland -white craft paper -foam […]
