It’s been WAY too long since I’ve gotten my craft on, and my kids have noticed. “Mom, how come you don’t make us anything anymore?” Um, IDK Annabel, because I’m too busy hiding in a blanket fort while I watch the world spiral out of control? But crafting is a good outlet for me no matter…

The countdown is on to James’ Star Wars birthday party! I was walking through Joann’s Fabric getting supplies for some of the other things I’m putting together for the party when I came across Jumbo Chenille Stem.

It’s been awhile since I’ve put together a DIY. I’m really trying to get myself back into the swing of things, so I decided to start with something easy – and something I’m surprised I haven’t already shared! Turning a long necklace into a headband is a simple and beautiful way to fancy up any…

James and Annabel both have feet that just won’t. stop. growing. I’ve spent a small fortune on shoes for them recently. I prefer slip-ons for James and velcro for Annabel, but those are rarely on sale. The last time I bought them new shoes, I decided to buy what was cheapest and add the velcro myself….

Annabel and I have been searching through the Dollar Spot at Target ever since the Valentine’s Day stuff was put out (you know, the day after Christmas). She found some little toy frogs and went crazy for them, “Mom, we HAVE to give these to my friends!” I bought enough for her class, and then…
