Posts with kid ideas or projects that would be great for kids.
Have a bunch of teachers on your list? Here are some DIY teacher gifts your teacher would love to get! We are hot off the heels of Thanksgiving and gearing up for Christmas around here. There is a special group of people on our list every year…teachers! I have so much respect and admiration for…
I promise the chalkboard apron DIY will come soon, but first I have to brag a smidge about my daughter. She is a little entrepreneur that has slowly creeped out of her comfort zone to start her very own kettle corn business. Of course dad is on hand with business tips and mom is there to…
This Tic Tac Toe game made out of a butcher block is a fun and easy weekend project. This little darling started in the same manner as most things around here do… Me at an Estate Sale. Eyeballing something I don’t need and have no use for. But it’s $1 and I can’t pass it up. My mom asks,…
The heat of summer is in full swing at our house! Having the kids home all the time has really pushed me to tackle some organizing projects. There is stuff everywhere 24/7. This DIY baseball bat rack has been a great solution for our sporting goods arsenal. When we bought our house it needed MAJOR…
I’m kind of an entertainment junky. There isn’t much I love more than taking my kids to a movie or watching one at home with them. Snuggling up on the couch with a home décor magazine is blissful. I have piles of useless movie trivia and celebrity stats stacked in my head. I’ve been that…
Coming up with a good Mother’s Day (or Father’s Day or Christmas…) gift can be daunting. What do you get for grown ups that already have everything they need? I’m convinced homemade Mother’s Day gifts are the way to go. Back to the glory days of childhood when a finger painted picture stole your mom’s heart. I…
Six Truths on Adopting a Greyhound I hope you’ll allow me to get off the DIY/Décor topic today about something near and dear to my heart that goes way back. I’ve had a love affair with Greyhounds since I was a little girl. Usually the things we love today thread back to our childhood. An…
Our vintage Halloween house tour is full Halloween decorating ideas, here it is: I realize not everyone is into Halloween. But we just think it’s so fun over here. We don’t give into thinking witches are real or have power any more than I think a four leaf clover is lucky or there’s a pot…
You’re in for a quick and easy project today! Cheesecloth ghosts are nothing new. I didn’t make them up. BUT… my oh so crafty mom, aka Deedles, put a twist on this craft that makes it a cinch. She is always thinking up something fun to do with the kids and this is one of…
It’s almost here, It’s almost here. I start to get a little giddy when I imagine heading under my favorite little bridge. The sleepy road that gently winds through the trees and leads me to a treasure hunter’s paradise. Straight to acres and fields and tents and roadways and miles of glorious stuff just waiting for…
It’s back to school season and that gets my organizational thoughts racing. I’ve always loved back to school, the start of a fresh new semester. Sharp pencils, crisp notebook paper and everything in order. The promise of staying on task and being on time with assignments fills the air. Just think of all those clean spiral notebooks…
Ah the tween years. That in between stage of still playing with dolls, but over the Disney princesses. She is starting to be nose down into her ipod and having a blast with our instagram summer fun project. It is an exciting age. Decorating for this transition age was exciting too. I really wanted her room to be her comfy space,…
I can’t wait to share my youngest son’s room with you. A few things about this part of the house…I cleaned up, but by no means are these rooms “magazine ready”. I wanted to show what we really live like, minus a little clutter. 😉 Given the fact that I love to decorate, I really want…
My oldest child is my only girl. She loves to bake, paint, act and do puzzles. She is whitty, adores playing in the mud and turns obnoxiously golden tan in the summer. Obviously I think she is so stinkin’ cute. She loves to take pictures, especially since she got my mom’s old IPhone. Which is not used as…
You should be just about deep enough into summer when the “I’m bored” and “we don’t have anything to do” cries start flying. Swimming has lost it’s glamour, the heat (or rain in our case) has set in and the excitement of a relaxed schedule has lost it’s luster. This is when I always resort…
