I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We celebrated twice! Once on Thanksgiving and then again on Friday. We also finally managed our first pic as a family of six. We were running late getting out the door for Thanksgiving, but we were all dressed and clean and I had even managed a shower so it seemed like as good of time as any. The kids were anxious to get going. We piled on the couch, set the timer and did a few takes. Of course, when I looked at the pictures later there ...

Kid Craft – Folded Paper Caterpillar
Quinn came home from school super excited to share something he had made. He made these fun folded paper caterpillars and a little paper habitat for the caterpillars to live in at school. Not only did he want to share with me how he made these cute little critters, but he really wanted to teach all of my readers how to. Paper strips, scissors, glue and a pen or crayons is all you need. You start with two strips and place them perpendicular to each other and glue the ends ...
Kid Craft: Christmas Tree Bar
This is such a fun and simple project for the kids...and even the adults! Eleanor and I got a little crafty today. Gluing things is one of her favorite ways to create now-a-days. She helped me choose all of our Christmas tree bar fixings. She loved watching the Cricut cut them out too. We created these simple 3D Christmas trees using the Cricut, some paper and glue! The pattern for the tree is a Cricut image and I have it all set up for you here. Eleanor chose stars, candy ...
Kid Art Project: Paper Strip Christmas Tree
Thankfully I snapped these pictures early this week. It just took me all week to get around to writing this post, because that is how I roll. I love blogging--I really do. I love my readers and I want to share more, write more and do more. Three kids at home makes it hard to make any commitments during the day and by night--I'm done. Even if I'm up, I want to chill out with the Mindy Project or New Girl or one of my TV dramas and catch up with the hubs. Sidenote: Mindy's secret santa gift ...
DIY Trick-or-Treat Bag
I was lucky enough to receive a box full of Martha Stewart Crafts products and they did not disappoint. I already whipped up this chalkboard tray, and I couldn't wait to craft more! This is little Miss E's first Halloween. Well not her first, she was this unbelievably adorable strawberry last year. Oh-my-word they grow up fast! Last year she couldn't walk and she couldn't eat the candy, so aside from being adorable she didn't really have the full "Halloween experience". Well now ...
