A couple of weeks back I mentioned on facebook that we were working on some pallet projects. In the Fall we had visited a strange local junk yard type place with so many random things for sale. Rusty old cars and tractors, barn boards, windows, you name it, it was literally a treasure trove of junk and unique finds. We spotted an old pallet that had thinner boards than regular ones and asked the man about it. He said we could have it for free and handed my husband a crow bar to remove the … [Read more...]

Whenever I'm looking for gifts for one of the many little boys in my life I know I can always count on toys from JAKKS Pacific Canada and Incredible Novelties for something fun and a little different! Being a boymom of three and an aunt and great aunt to another handful of little boys means I pretty much know the toy aisle inside and out! I'm always on the look out for new and interesting items, especially during the holidays. This year, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are all the rage … [Read more...]

This Christmas, I'm rounding up some fun holiday ornaments that … [Read more...]

Recently I created the most adorable Bedtime Basket for my Great Nephew who is turning 2. It was filled with books, stuffed animals, pjs, a night lights etc and I wanted to create a similar basket for one of my own boys. But what to put in a Bedtime Basket for an older kid?

Here's a little trick I have for filling stockings, instead of buying a ton of small items that can really add up cost wise, choose a bigger item that's going to fill a good portion of the stocking and then work around it. My suggestion? A Thermos beverage container. My boys each keep one of the Thermos FUNtainers at their desk at school. The teachers encourage this to avoid kids asking for drinks at the water fountain, the kids love it and as a parent … [Read more...]
