Cooler Than Mom Jeans, but Just as Comfortable
Today's post is one I've been meaning to do for awhile. Because it's so hard to filter through all the baby products out there and figure out what you will really USE, versus what looks cute and fun. It's easy to end up with a pile of useless stuff. Also, I am influenced easily, I'm basically a marketers dream. Trust me -- no one falls … [Read more...]
Hey guys! Gonna pop in with a few ideas for your kiddos this summer. These books are ones that my boys have enjoyed, and a few that I want to get for them, but haven't yet... My boys are 6 and 8, almost 7 and 9...this summer. So that will give you an idea of the age appropriateness of my choices. First up let's go … [Read more...]
My kids are off this week for Spring Break. And since we're staying home for the week I have to come up with stuff for them to do all day long. Kids expect that. So first up on the agenda are some easy, fun crafts that don't require a huge clean up or crazy supplies. I saw this one over at the Family Fun site a while … [Read more...]
Well. I am taking it there. Nothing but classy talk around here, huh? Fake vomit is the topic today. Don't pretend you're not intrigued. My 6 year old son brought this craft to my attention. He got a book called Prank Star and of all the pranks in there, he was most excited about making fake vomit. I am so … [Read more...]
My kiddos like to read. I certainly try to encourage this. Because they also like to play video games and watch tv. So anything I can do, to get them wanting to pick up their book, I try. And if making bookmarks helps, then I'll do it. This is actually a really cute craft idea that I originally saw here around … [Read more...]
A rainy day a few weeks ago my kids were looking online for a craft to do together... Sometimes crafts with kids are fun, sometimes they are more trouble than they are worth. We came across this fun idea on a few different sites... I thought it was a great idea, because my boys are getting a little older and they don't ever pull … [Read more...]
I decided to make a craft with my kids the other day. Good idea in theory. We settled on an easy DIY Kazoo. Good because simple supplies, simple instructions and simple assembly. Not so good because...well, it's kazoo. Which means it makes noise. If you can get past that, then you should make these. They are … [Read more...]
One thing I've learned over the years is that it's a waste of money to buy my son "toys" that don't really DO anything. Action figures. Pretend helicopters. Little cars to push around. Waste waste waste. Jon David is only really entertained when he is learning or creating something. He's always been that way, which … [Read more...]
It's basically a rule that kids like to play. They want to be entertained. They get boooooooooored. One thing I struggle with over Winter Break is keeping my son busy. It's usually cold and wet outside, and although I try to spend as much time with him as possible, I still have housework and cooking to do and can't … [Read more...]
I am obsessed with Bento Lunch Boxes. I need to get my act together and move beyond the peanut butter and jelly, honestly. There are some super creative people out there who do amazing things with Bento lunches...like Tiffany from Cute Food for Kids. She has a whole section on her site that features fun ideas for Bento lunches! You need to … [Read more...]
I am the mother of a boy. A seven year old boy who asked for a Bear Grylls knife or an AK 47 for Christmas. So, I'm not exactly on top of what little girls are doing nowadays. I DO know about those Bratz dolls...and those new sleazy vampire looking things (Monster High I think?). No thank you. I decided to … [Read more...]
Hey! So as you know both Kristan and I are both moms of boys. Just boys. Which kinda makes us experts on boy stuff. Seriously, I get invited to a girl birthday party and I will literally stand in the girl toy section of Target staring for 45 minutes. It's over-stimulation or something. Don't even get me started at buying gifts for … [Read more...]
