DIY Fabric Pennant Banner

This is a great project, even for a beginner. If you can cut triangles and sew in a straight line, you have all the skills you need. I prefer sewing it, but you could use Stitch Witchery in a pinch. We hung ours in our son’s nursery as a solution to a blank wall (we aren’t… Read More DIY Fabric Pennant Banner

This DIY project is so easy it’s laughable. You can make it in two minutes with items you likely have in your pantry. Baby toys and activities don’t need to be complicated or expensive.

Homemade Play Clay

Every opportunity I get I introduce our 9 month old to sensory experiences. Everything in the world is new to him and I love watching him discover and learn. This morning I whipped up a batch of play clay he can squish through his fingers, mold, poke, and throw. I’ve been meaning to buy some… Read More Homemade Play Clay

Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes for Baby

The first few pancakes I make are always “mess-ups.” Maybe the pan isn’t hot enough. Maybe I get impatient. Whatever the reason, I always get a little bit of pancake to eat while I continue cooking. When I first tasted these I expected them to be bland. Afterall, I’m making a healthy breakfast for my… Read More Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes for Baby

If  you haven’t been taking your baby to the library you should. There is no such thing as “too young,” so I encourage you to start now.

Fitbit Flex vs. Fitbit Charge HR: Why the Flex Wins

We are officially a Fitbit family. A few weeks ago, I bought the Fitbit Charge HR for my husband. He loves it. It tracks his steps, distance, calories burned, floors climbed, heart rate, and monitors his sleep. Before he even opened the packaging, I was jealous. I went back and forth between wanting the Charge… Read More Fitbit Flex vs. Fitbit Charge HR: Why the Flex Wins

Father’s Day Photo Shoot

Trying to to decide what to do for Father’s Day this year? Why not stage a photo shoot in a new tie for Dad? This is a fun twist on the traditional “tie for Father’s Day” idea.

It’s December, which means the countdown to my favorite holiday has begun. It also means my poor son will be the pawn in all the crafts and projects I feel like making this year.
