I looked down at a lonely little apple, and knew somehow, it had the potential to be something adorable. Valentine's Day is a close second to Halloween as far as the influx of treats that end up coming home with my little boys. So when I try...

Tree Forest Winter Cupcakes are incredibly easy to assemble, for any winter themed party or holiday get together! An easy Christmas tree cupcake or for a woodland forest birthday party!

Finger Paint Art: “I Love You Daddy”

This post was sponsored by P&G as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. For Father’s Day this year, I knew I wanted my kiddos to craft up something special for their daddy, so off to Pinterest I went. I saw the cutest finger paint idea from Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, using sticker letters! So when my girlfriend texted me saying that we should get the kiddos together for a play date that day… I knew it was the perfect time to try this finger paint craft out! Thank goodness my friend has...

Valentine's Day Heart Cookie Decorating for Beginners: Some of the perfect cookies to start out with, when you're first learning and practicing how to decorate with royal icing. You've all followed along on my cookie decorating journey, from my first attempt. You've been so encouraging, and (ahem) enabling my cookie decorating purchase obsession. ;) It's possible that I'm going backwards, in my cookie decorating skillzzz. I'm not going to lie. I watched SweetAmbs on Facebook lately, and when she posted her Valentine's Day Heart Cookies, I thought, Oh I can SO do that. I even had people share the video to my blog...

"You are my Sunshine Valentine," Classroom Valentines Idea - Kids get SO much candy at Valentine's Day parties, and these Sunglasses Valentines are the perfect way to avoid adding to the "sweets! There's something about Valentine's Day, that makes me all "giddy," inside.

Oh how fun this Vintage Christmas party would have been. Yes... I said, "Would have been." :( One of my kiddos came down with a fever a couple of days before our annual Santa Night Party this year. Unfortunately, his little body can't handle fevers like some others can. He's one of the not-so-lucky ones that suffer from febrile seizures. The morning before our party date, he once again had a seizure, and once the craziness calmed down... I immediately sent out notifications to our friends, letting them know that we had to cancel the party for this year, so we...

Having a chalkboard in your home is FABULOUS way to incorporate each holiday and season that comes around. From the minute we moved in to our house, I knew I wanted a large chalkboard in our foyer.
