Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
I love chocolate and salty things together. One day in the not-too-distant past, I bought some Cadbury eggs and some Ritz crackers. When I got home, somehow they both mysteriously got opened. And I started to eat them one after the other, and it was sooooo good! It occurred to me to make some sort of treat that included both the salty butteriness of Ritz with the sweet rich chocolate of Cadbury eggs and my first thought was Christmas … [Read more...]
Hold on...I need to scream. {AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!} Whew, okay. I needed that. It's been a super stressful year so far. Here's what happens when you build a house (not custom.) At least here is what has happened with us. Step 1. Find your lot...Check. Or not. We found the perfect lot. But my husband is possibly the worst decision-maker ever--meaning he takes FOREVER to decide things. And don't worry, he knows I think this since … [Read more...]
I've been working with Leapfrog for a couple of years now. We love their products and have enjoyed reviewing them. So I was super excited when Leapfrog invited me and four other bloggers out to visit their headquarters in San Francisco! It was my first official 'business' trip (if you don't count blog conferences) and I felt so grown up. It was awesome to fly on a plane without three wild children to entertain. It was awesome to only have to … [Read more...]
In case you didn't know yet, we are now in the process of building a house. We found the lot and have met with the architect about custom designs. Since we are going with a builder's design, we won't be doing a completely custom house. So the next step is meeting with their Design Center to make all the decisions about interiors and exteriors. I've known what I want in a kitchen for a long time. I know this might be the big trend lately, … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PERK for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Life with kids is pretty...hmm. Stinky? Yes. Very stinky, at times. In my house, I have to have those plug-in scented fresheners at all times. So when I got the chance to try out PERK Vent Wrap as a car air freshener, I was intrigued. I'd seen commercials for all new sorts of car air fresheners and none of them really appealed to me, … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Duck Brand provided by ShurTech Brands, LLC for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. It can be tricky these days to go with a candy Valentine--what with the allergies lurking in kids classrooms. It seems that doing a non-candy Valentine is a safer bet, and most parents probably appreciate it anyway. I've seen some really great non-candy Valentines ideas floating around lately and it made me … [Read more...]
I am a craft blogger. This must mean that my house is super cute and perfectly organized and clean all the time. This must mean my kids are constantly sitting down with my undivided attention to do unique and creative crafts with me. This must mean that everywhere I go I carry my SLR camera with Huge Lens snapping amazing photos of my kids to blow up huge and frame on my gallery wall. Right? Right? Nope. Well, sometimes. Rarely. … [Read more...]
Valentines is approaching. And the same old flowers and chocolate candy can get a bit predictable and therefore, non-special. Something I want to try this year to make Valentine's really special is to do two weeks of loving acts for my husband. We took a test last week to discover our Love Languages. We were both very different, but everyone has some of all of the 5 love languages. I made these cute printable cards to do 14 days of Love to … [Read more...]
