Remember Shrinky Dinks? I’m not sure if they ever went away but today it seems they are more popular than ever. There are several craft projects people do with these, and my husband had an idea to make tokens for a game he enjoys playing. So we bought a pack of Shrinky Dinks that you [...]

Summer is almost here. Rae has only a few weeks left of preschool and then she will be home 24/7. I know she will be bored and wanting to do some fun stuff. Her favorite thing about preschool is crafts. They make a craft almost every day. So I’ve been gathering some supplies when I [...]

My little girl goes through stages of loving and loathing bath time. So I’m always on the lookout for new bath toys/products to make bath time more appealing.

When we moved into our home we painted practically every room - except for the little girl’s room. That’s where we were storing a bunch of stuff until we could get it unpacked. Besides, at the time she was sleeping with us anyway so we thought we could hold off on painting. Fast forward two [...]

Raegan has a lot of toys. She is like most kids that when I try to get rid of some of her toys, she suddenly begins to play with them. It’s almost like she knows their days are numbered. Most of the time I get rid of the toys she isn’t playing with so that [...]

Bath time is always more fun with bubbles. In fact, some evenings it’s the only way to entice the three-year-old to bathe. So when I ran out of bubble bath, I was in a pickle until I could buy some more at the store.
Since I didn’t have any bubble bath, I thought of [...]

Tomorrow we have a playdate to make reindeer antlers that I think the three-year-old will really enjoy as she has been talking a lot about reindeer lately. So to dress up as one should be a huge hit. It’s being held at lunchtime so we were asked to bring a reindeer inspired treat.
I’m going to [...]

The little one’s birthday is fast approaching, so I’ve been looking for ideas for presents. She loves to read, so personalized children’s books have really piqued my interest.
