Wintertime is wonderful for so many reasons, but getting a cold is not one of them. Unfortunately, a seasonal bout of sickies befell our casa last week. The grownups of the house are still in the thick of it, but little Beany is thankfully on the mends and rapidly gaining back all that toddler energy….
Happy New Year: DIY party hats
Happy, happy 2013 to all! We’re still busy enjoying the last few days of holiday fun (we’ll be back to the regular swing of things all too soon), but for now I thought I’d drop in and share the homemade hats that helped us ring in the New Year. Jared surprised us all with his…
Have a holly, jolly Christmas!
Well, the countdown is closing in. With cookies still to bake, presents still to wrap and snow time fun still to be had, we’re going full-on Christmas here, and I’m happy beyond happy to be able to soak up the holiday with family and pups and baby snuggles galore. I hope your holiday is a…
Fit for Santa’s team: Rudolph loves cookies
With Christmas only days away, we’re squeezing in every last ounce of holiday fun, food and crafty goodness that we can before Santa hits the slopes and heads to town (presuming that his sled does a bit of skiing action before taking to the air). And what better way to welcome him to our humble…
Now, that’s neighborly: Simple homemade peppermint bark
There are about five gazillion things that I love about Christmas, but one that I didn’t realize how much I loved until I moved away from home was the neighborhood gift exchange that happens annually on my parents’ street. I know similar traditions pop up in neighborhoods everywhere, but I like to think that our…
Wrapping Week 2012: Boy Likes Bike
As Wrapping Week comes to a close, I thought I’d wrap things up by giving a nod to the sole guy in our house, the one who’s slightly less enthused than the rest of us by (though incredibly tolerant of) the overflowing bows, ribbons and gets-everywhere glitter that have spent the past four days covering…
Wrapping Week 2012: Put a Snowflake on It
I love a pretty package and will happily sit on the floor of my living room, surrounded by piles of paper, ribbon and tape, until every last present is wrapped, but I realize that spending two hours on a Tuesday night crafting intricate bows out of shopping bags isn’t everyone’s idea of a good time….
Wrapping Week 2012: Martha-Inspired Shopping Bag Bows
It seems the holidays just aren’t the holidays without a little Martha Stewart-inspired craftiness, and this wrapping idea from the woman in blue was actually months in the making. Back in early spring, I watched as Martha and a fellow crafter fashioned amazingly fancy-looking bows of out stiff paper shopping bags on an episode of…
Wrapping Week 2012: Mod Podge Glam
In high school, I think it’s safe to say that my friends and I would have Mod Podged just about anything that sat still long enough for us to grab our scissors and brush. It was the early 2000s, when paper scrapbooking was still the thing, we made posters by hand instead of by computer…
Wrapping Week 2012!
On Christmas morning, there are two very different kinds of people who gather around the tree. There are those who rip open presents and tear off bows, with a laser-like focus on what’s inside. And there are those who peel off tape, untie ribbons and pry back paper with the care of a professional present…
