Fireplace Christmas Mantel Decorations

If you saw my 2013 Christmas Home tour, you may have already seen my fireplace mantel Christmas decorations. They are by FAR my most favorite thing to put up when Christmas time comes around. I had always admired everyone's mantels, and couldn't wait to have one of my own to decorate one day for Christmas. Why Christmas time, rather than all year long? Totally because I get to hang stockings on the mantel! In case Pinterest brought you here, and you want to see the details of my fireplace mantel Christmas decorations, let me explain the goods: Far left picture frame: IKEA...

Thanksgiving for the Kiddos

I rarely post on here about my other blog that I own, but for no particular reason! I just have so much to share all of the time I guess, that I can keep the two separate. Well today, I'm sharing some Sweet Pea Party love. Sweet Pea Party Designs is where I get to share party and entertaining tips, and party ideas, while I talk about everything else here on Fantabulosity! While doing party research for my Sweet Pea site the other day, I found and fell in DEEP love with a Thanksgiving Play Date party that popped...

Halloween Cupcakes – Cookies N Cream

I had a sweet tooth the other day, and I wanted to make something since my hubby was coming home from being out of town for a week for work. I like to show him my appreciation when he gets home by baking some treats, to let him know that we love and missed him while he was working so hard. (Don't let me fool you. I'm a mom of two young boys, so I don't ALWAYS make this happen.) Halloween Cupcakes - Cookies N Cream I'm a fan of making cupcakes, and I was in the cupcake mood... so that's what...

Toddler Halloween Craft… BOO!

My toddler has an attention span of about 2 seconds. So when "craft time," is next on our "to-do" list for the day, I always know it has to be quick, easy, and QUICK! {Yes, I know I said "quick," twice}. I also want it to contain materials that I have on-hand, because let's face it... I'm not packing two kids in the car to run to the craft store for a toddler craft that will last only a few minutes. With Halloween just a couple of days away, a Halloween craft was a MUST! So the brainstorming began, (and the...

Pumpkin Painting Fun For Kids

Grandparent’s Day Kid’s Craft

Grandparent's Day: Grandparent's can play such an important role in kid's lives and a fun little kid's craft is a great way to say thank you, and I love you! Grandparent's Day Kid's Craft I was so excited that my little guy was finally big enough this year to make something for his grandparent's for Grandparent's Day. Ok ok... so I helped a little, but he was able to do WAY more than he was last year. Doing a little craft like this as a gift, means WAY more than running to the store to buy something. Besides, it's something that can...
