Inspired by some salty pumpkin seeds we picked up for our salads, I decided to make a festive Cranberry … [Read more...]

Sometimes it can be a little bit harder to get boys excited over crafting, my secret? Make it all about food! While the boys reluctantly sit at the table for glue and glitter, they will race eachother over when we create with food. They always said the way to a boys heart was through his tummy, though in our case it's probably his sweet tooth! lol Another great way to get boys crafting is to gear it to stuff they already love! This Christmas, I'm rounding up some fun holiday ornaments that … [Read more...]

Pretty Snowball Ornaments, easy enough for the kids to make! Each year the boys and I sit down and create a new ornament for our tree. This year, Mama got a brand new tree for herself! I'm pretty excited about it! We've always had a family tree with a mish mash of ornaments from pretty to cute and handmade ones the boys made at school along with ornaments we pick up on our travels. It's really fun to decorate the tree every year and look back on those memories, but secretly I had … [Read more...]
