When cleaning out drawers I found three bags of dried up marshmallows. I don’t know why I even buy them…I must buy them for decorating cupcakes and completely forget about them. So since it was, you know, SNOWING again this week we stayed in and thought up things to do with the dried up marshmallows. […]
I know Valentine’s Day is a while away…but listen, it is freezing cold and I have cabin fever. And we needed to do something to take our minds off being stuck inside way too much. I saw this idea about three years ago and it has been on my to-do list since then. I wish […]
Last week, Abby and I did a TV spot on the morning news, the CBS channel here in Utah. Doing news spots are just…so unpredictable. Sometimes you have way more time than they tell you and sometimes way less. Sometimes producers are FABULOUS at prepping you and other times there is no one there to […]
Hello those of you visiting from CBS Channel 2 News! To go along with my segment this morning I wanted to re-post this long list of ideas that I posted last year to keep your kids entertained during the winter. Last year around this time I asked my blog readers…. What activities do you do […]
During our night out at Thanksgiving Point the lady at the floral section of the Emporium showed us a great holiday gift idea. I think this would be an awesome gift for a teacher, extended family member, neighbor, or small gift exchange. These are pictures of the 30 I made at my house yesterday for neighbor […]
I wanted to make something out of the girl’s silhouettes this year and decided to do a Thanksgiving table runner. NOW! I am not the one to come to for exact instructions and a list of supplies for sewing projects. If you are interested in doing this just use this post as a very, very […]
So last year we did the ever popular “Grateful/Thankful Tree” which is always cute and fun. Then the year before we did a “Gratitue Can” which I still love to use for decoration. This year I wanted to think up something new, something that the kids could mainly do on their own. Introducing….Thankful Turkeys, a […]
This was a fun new way to do some of the pumpkins this year. They look cute stacked inside but the felt and paper probably wouldn’t do well outside. The girls thought it was hilarious that they were painting the pumpkins bright colors and it was super easy to do too! Supplies: Pumpkins Bright Colored Craft Paint […]
I have done a neighborhood art group twice in different neighborhoods and both times I ended it in September. Since I host them outside, the poor kiddos are just freezing while they play with paint if I do it any later than that. So for our LAST art group we made a “Tree.” It was […]
After this, I only have one more Art Group for the “season.” I only do them during the warm months since kids don’t have any fun standing out in the cold with wet paint! This month we did monoprinting, which was actually quite a bit of fun and super easy to set up. Supplies: Paint Little rollers (you […]
