It's hard to believe it's February already! Usually January kind of drags on for me, but this year it seemed to slip by in a hurry. At least it's winter though right? No one wants the warm weather months to rush past too fast. To help prep your kiddos for classroom Valentine's Day parties coming up, we've been working on some really fun DIY Heart Shaped Crayon Valentines that are perfect for the classroom. Do you have a ton of nasty old crayons laying around like we do? … [Read more...]

Get your DIY on this Christmas with these upcycled Holiday Character Light Bulb Ornaments. Choose from a snowman or penguin, or make both! Creating holiday ornaments doesn't have to be expensive, in fact, my favourite way is using the Three R's. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle! Or a more trendy term I suppose is Upcycle. By saving old burnt out light bulbs and giving them a coat of paint, you can turn something that would otherwise go in the landfill a new life and a spot on … [Read more...]

If you love decorating with a rustic woodland theme, you'll have a lot of fun painting your own Wood Slice Ornaments. Once you have your wood slices cut from a branch and dried, painting scenes and characters are quick and easy and a whole lot of fun. I had my husband slice a fallen branch in our backyard and just laid out each piece over a heat register for a couple of days. You might also find slices ready to go from your local craft store. Wood Slice Ornaments I used … [Read more...]

These snowman gift pots are so easy the kids can do it! Teachers, Babysitters, Coaches, the Bus Driver....it can be really hard to come up with a gift for the holidays when you want to show your appreciation but you don't necessarily know the recipient that well. One thing we can probably all agree on is gift cards are always a win, but they just aren't all that personal. This holiday I painted up some adorable snowman gift pots from terra cotta pots to act as a really cute gift card … [Read more...]
DIY Christmas Ornaments for Boys

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...]
