CELEBRATE! Parties & Holidays

Balloon Wreath

September 28, 2011 by Megan 2 Comments

The little guy is turning 3!! I can't believe it. Good bye toddler, hello little boy. He has requested a Bucky Badger party. I have started to get the party decorations ready. For those of you who don't know Bucky Badger is the University of Wisconsin-Madison's mascot (and mine and the hubs Alma Mater or Alma Mama as Quinn says). The school colors are red and white, hence the red and white wreath. Pinterest might be the most expensive free thing. I was browsing Pinterest and saw a balloon ...

Rummage Sale Vase to Halloween Decor

September 26, 2011 by Megan 1 Comment

Those of you who have been following me for sometime may remember some green vases I picked up from a rummage sale (read about that here). Gorgeous right! They were so cheap and I thought I could do something fun with them. I cleaned them with rubbing alcohol and then spray painted them yellow.   Well that seriously lasted one hot minute. After I painted them I realized I had no idea where to put them. While they were sitting around waiting for a home I was trying to dream up some ...

Since today was Eleanor's four month check-up, we decided to grab a shot of her with her "stats". I learned some things along the way. 1. Take pictures during the day when you have good lighting. 2. Write heavier. 3. Use a steadier hand! How did I end up with so many blurry shots? 4. Put all the information on one ...

Family Friday: Ghost Prints

September 15, 2011 by Megan 1 Comment

This little craft I did with Quinn right before he turned one. This is a simple Halloween craft that you can do with your kids. I love it because aside from being cute holiday decor it marks their growth. Originally I did it and planned to use it when I scrapbooked his Halloween pictures, but you can hang them for holiday decor as well. I used Crayola washable poster and craft paint in white. Make sure it is washable, unless you want your child walking around with a white foot for a couple ...
