Cooking with Kids: Pretzel Monsters

I think most of the time around here, my littles are the ones requesting specific desserts and treats. But sometimes, a craving strikes and Mom's the one suggesting chocolate before...

Halloween Party Balloons

I don't think there's anything as festive as balloons. You can add them to any normal get-together and presto! It's a party! Not to mention, they're easy, cheap, and I've...

Cooking with Kids: Millefeuille

Have you ever made millefeuille? The name might be intimidating (it's French for "a thousand layers"), but this version of the dessert is so easy that even the littles can...

Colorful Coco Party

Have you seen Coco? I simply loved it - the loving message, the colors, and of course, the music! And I keep thinking of it as Halloween and Dia de...

Nature Playgrounds

We're lucky to have lots of playgrounds in walking distance, but there's one that my kids would choose over the others 9 times out of 10. It doesn't have the...

Nautical Monogram DIY

I found these rope circles at the craft store months ago, and bought them without knowing exactly what I would do with them. Maybe back them with mirrors? Make them into a...

Homemade Bird Feeder

Winter is such a good time to teach kids about taking care of others! Donating outgrown coats, buying extra hats and mittens to hand out, and working at a soup...

Holiday Twists

I'm all about tradition when it comes to the holidays...but sometimes I want to change things up just a little. Just enough to make the old decorations seem new again! If you...

Christmas Ornament DIYs
