Having a little girl is the best, most fun adventure I’ve ever been on, and I sure wouldn’t trade our little Beany for anything in the world. I happily shop for hair bows, dresses and bunches of pink, and I dare say there’s nothing cuter than our girl in a tiny pair of jeggings. But…
Back-to-school: Easy DIY lunch bag
There are so, so, soooo many things that I miss about being in school (yes, all you kids out there who can’t wait for school/college to be over. Be warned! School is cool — and not just because it rhymes). I miss the classes. I miss the schedule. And man oh man, how I miss…
A DIY for the ’do — the baby’s ’do, that is
Typically, I wouldn’t consider watching hair grow a very fun activity. In fact, it’s probably ranked somewhere in between waiting for paint to dry and waiting for water to boil. Sooo slow and soooooo boring. As a new parent, however, a whole bunch of seemingly mundane tasks are suddenly way more exciting with a baby…
DIY Valentine cards, takeout style
One of the great hardships of my life is my ridiculous allergy to soybean. Yes, you read that right. I am allergic to all things soy, which can be quite a predicament when it comes to anything prepackaged, anything doused in vegetable oil and anything trendy like tofu or edamame. Most unfortunately, it means that…
Happy New Year! Hats off to 2012!
Happy New Year to all! I hope you rang in 2012 with a bang — or at the very least a spirited thump. Amazingly, despite sleep deprivation and my Bean-induced need to revert back to my childhood bedtime as of late, I made it all the way to midnight. Woo hoo! Rather than spend our…
2012 is coming. It’s calendar time!
Happy day after the day after Christmas to all! It’s hard to believe the holiday came and went so quickly. We had tons of fun celebrating the Bean’s first Christmas this year, and the fun’s not over yet! Our family keeps ringing in the holiday cheer well past New Year’s, so there’s still plenty of…
Wrapping Week: Button, button, who’s got the button?
It seems I’ve unintentionally ordered this week’s wrappings in increasing order of easy peasy-ness because today’s method is the simplest yet. Despite its simplicity, it’s one of my favorites. Talk about cute as a button. The snazziness of this wrapping really depends on the kind of buttons you choose to use. You can keep it…
Wrapping Week: For those who dig a monogram
Has anyone else ever received those Lillian Vernon catalogs in the mail? They used to come to our house when I was little, and I remember paging through the kids’ section every time they arrived, in desperate search of a personalized backpack, lunchbox, toy or pillowcase bearing my initials or name. At 5 or 6…
Wrapping Week: Thanks, Martha. Your punches are peachy.
When it comes to personalized wrapping, simple ideas can go a long way. This crafty take on holiday packaging was inspired by a walk down one of the Martha Stewart aisles at Michael’s (have you spent much time looking at all the craft-tastic doodads she has there?!? It’s crazy!). I fell in love with an…
Wrapping Week: Save the trees, please!
Pink and green dots are pretty holly jolly, don’t you think? I picked up this festive fabric at Jo-Ann’s a while back and thought it might make the perfect wrapping for some of our more girlie gifts this year. It was on super duper sale (yahoo!), so for less than a roll of paper, I…
