Wrapping Week 2016: Simple Lattice Gift Wrap

Wrapping Week 2016: Simple Lattice Gift Wrap

This wrapping idea was 100 percent inspired by pie. That’s totally normal, right? I made a pretty lattice pie crust at Thanksgiving this year, and I’ve been jonesing for a repeat ever since. Of course, ribbon isn’t nearly as delicious as a butter-flour-sugar combo, but the process was nearly identical.

It’s Wrapping Week 2016, Y’all!

Happy almost Christmas! Are your cookies baked? Gifts ordered? Everything wrapped?!? I’ve been counting the days until Beany’s school break, and now that it’s finally here, we’re in full-on Christmas mode. Woo hoo! Both kids are super duper excited, making gifts, constructing (and deconstructing) gingerbread houses and writing letters. They’ve visited with Santa twice this…

Happy Halloween from the Pink Bunny Flower Princess and Captain America!

Happy Halloween from the Pink Bunny Flower Princess and Captain America! These two are beyond excited for a night of spooky fun and way too much candy. Per her usual, Beany picked a costume this year that’s as pink as it is personalized. Actually, the pink faux fur vest was the inspiration behind the whole ensemble….

Cupcake Trees

Cupcake Trees

There are so many fun things already around your house that you can use to wrap presents, and I think these cupcake trees are a fun example of that. Cupcake liners, paper straws and baker’s string — that’s all you need!

Paint and Sharpie Trees

December 16, 2015 By Katrina

Paint and Sharpie Trees

For the past year, pretty much any painting Beany does turns into some version of pink on pink. We have pink landscapes, pink rainbows and lots and lots of pink girls. This calls for a steady stream of pink paint, of course, because a proper pink painting requires varying shades. According to the master, “Pink…

DIY Painted Wooden Letters

It’s DIY time, you guys! Jared was at a conference last week for work, so that meant I had two kids in need of distractions. Thankfully, their grandma was here for a visit, but even grandmas need breaks (have you tried sitting on the floor for three hours playing Legos? Ooph!). We rolled into Target in…

Colorful Indoor Garden Craft for Kids

Colorful Indoor Garden Craft for Kids

Around Christmastime we made an IKEA run and, per our usual, came home with a unique smattering of items: festive chair cushions, drawers for under Beany’s bed, a few packs of batteries and a gigantic roll of paper designed for an easel we still don’t own. The cushions were fun through the holidays, the drawers are great toy storage…
