  • Shimmery Snowflakes

    December 12, 2014 Shimmery Snowflakes

    Another fun winter craft for you and your lil ones…SHIMMERY SNOWFLAKES! I love “winter” crafts because they can stay up to decorate our house a couple months longer than the “Christmas” ones. Plus, it’s nice to share ideas that everyone can do this time of year, not just families that celebrate Christmas.   I first saw similar snowflakes ...

  • 3 Secrets for Decorating Your Christmas Tree

    November 30, 2014 3 Secrets for Decorating Your Christmas Tree

    I always feel like our Christmas tree is a miniature version of the one I grew up with…I’m sure as our ornament collection grows over the years, so will our tree. Many of our ornaments are ones that hung on my family’s tree when I was a kid and hold such special memories to me. ...

  • Sensory Bottles for Baby

    November 19, 2014 Sensory Bottles for Baby

    I’ve made sensory bottles for L before, filled with colored water, glue and glitter or colored water and oil, but I don’t know why we never made SENSORY BOTTLES FOR BABIES until now. Babies and toddlers both love them!   The water-filled bottles are fun to look at, but too heavy for WB to really handle safely. ...
