As I mentioned in a previous post my cousin and his wife had a baby shower which I made a cake and cupcakes for (see the post here: Jungle Cake). My sister Shannon and I wanted to do something special for them and make a gift instead of buying a onesie and card. We decided on a jungle themed diaper cake!
My kids and I microwaved a bar of Ivory soap, if you have never seen this done, try it! When microwaved Ivory soap will expand up to six times it’s original size becoming a big soap “cloud.” see the full post and repurpose for the soap here!
Happy Memorial Day! I decided to post some of my favorite past patriotic crafts that I’ve done with my kids. Also some cute pics of my kids from past Memorial Days and Fourth of Julys.

So I had this idea suggested by a reader and I love it. Fill a balloon with play dough and you have a cheap and kid friendly stress ball/toy! I made one last night as a trial to take to the ball field for my almost two year old as a boredom buster. It ended up being a fight between my three little ones over who got to play with it next. Several adults also stole a turn or two 🙂 Continue reading “Balloon Stress Ball/Toy For Kids (or adults)”
So we had gotten some old boards from a friend who knew I love to make things. Two of the boards were a dark mossy green that I loved. They are beaten up and have old nails in them but I think it adds to the charm :). Continue reading “Be Kind Sign From Old Boards”
