Need a quick teacher appreciation gift? We made these easy bookmarks for Attalie’s teacher. I cut a piece of card stock down to approximately 1.5 x 5 inches and let Attalie draw a picture.

Teaching your little one about fractions is easy as pie! Sorry… so cliché, but I couldn’t resist. Actually, I’ve never really understood that “easy as pie” expression because I’ve actually tried making pie crust from scratch and it is NOT easy! Back to fractions, I actually had one of these Felt Fraction Pies when I…

Yesterday Bettijo posted her favorite Christmas treat, so we thought it would be fun for me to post mine today. My most favorite food is chips and salsa (and in my opinion that tops any treat I’ve ever had), but that didn’t seem quite appropriate to blog about just a few days before Christmas. So,…
You’ve probably figured out by now that both Bettijo and I love packaging. I seem to be on a canning jar kick, so I needed to mix things up a bit — enter large white take-out boxes. I am now obsessed with these, too! By the way, if your town has a Smart&Final store you…
We recently received Make and Takes for Kids, a fun, new book of kids crafts compiled by our friend Marie LeBaron from the blog Make and Takes. (You may remember our Pirate Playdate guest post over there last summer?) With holiday season upon us, I can’t help but suggest this book as the perfect gift…
So you managed to get your family an invite to someone else’s Thanksgiving feast… SCORE! Now you won’t have to worry about basting a Turkey come Thursday, but be a good guest and don’t forget a hostess gift. You could always go the edible route (try this or this) or for a more lasting token…
When I saw this Pebble Domino Game in Martha Stewart a while back, I knew I wanted to make it — turns out it is a fairly simple project and perfect to make and give. I made this for my 4-year-old niece. Want to make a set for a youngster on your list? Here’s what…
We started our annual Thanksgiving Tree, and it got me thinking Christmas is just around the corner! In fact, I ordered—and just received—our new 12’ Christmas tree and am now madly scouring the internet for Advent Calendars. Every summer I think I am going to plan ahead and hand make an advent calendar for our…
…that is one question I’m guessing most parents are wondering right about now! My oldest had a clever idea that I thought I’d share. She wanted to give some of her trick-or-treat candy to her teacher, so we decided to make up some fun cards using the candy bar names as words in our messages….
