February 14, 2025 Valentine Fun: Food, Crafts and Lots of Love

We love Valentine’s Day. Our favorite holiday after Halloween. Growing up, I loved making Valentines for friends at school and looking at all the ones my friends made for me. When I had kids of my own, I renewed my love for Valentines – but last year, our school stopped allowing them to be exchanged […]

February 12, 2025 Snackle Box: Love Valentine Edition

I love the snackle box trend, and think the Valentine snackle box is super cute. We found these at Target and they come in a few different designs. The “LOVE” and the “XOXO” styles were my personal favorite. We filled ours up with some colorful candy, but the sky is the limit on what you […]

February 7, 2025 Design Your Own Valentine Tote

We always dream up new Valentine crafts for our friends. We picked up some inexpensive totes from our local craft store and used our Cricut to outline friend’s names on the bags. We threw in some Crayola fabric markers and it was up to each friend’s imagination to create the bag of their dreams. Perfect […]

January 30, 2025 Will You Be Mine? Valentine Piñatas

I always like to pick up discounted Valentine merch at the end of the season. I found these at Home Goods last year – filled with gummy candy, which I promptly threw out. The piñatas themselves were still good and we filled them with out own treats (fresh ones!) to give to friends this year. […]

Chinese New Year falls on January 29th this year, the year of the snake. It is said that people born in the year of the snake love with their entire hearts. White rabbit candy is very popular, a milk based candy with a soft, chewy texture and a vanilla flavor. Last year was the year […]

January 22, 2025 Camp Mom: Do You Want to Build a Snow Globe?

With the school vacation being 92,090,233,643 days long, we were looking for things to do. Lots of things to do. We had some extra supplies from a craft we brought to school, so we used the extra snow globes from the Dollar Store, some glitter, fake snow, beads, and some 50% off ornaments from Target […]

December 16, 2024 Sometimes You Have To Take Shortcuts: Gingerbread Houses and Cookies

I think that when I had my first child I had these holiday visions of the perfect gingerbread house – beautiful icing, rainbow colors, gumdrop roof, peppermint walkway. And then I had my third child and reality set in that frosting ends up EVERYWHERE, its a sticky mess, there are globs and blobs, someone ends […]
