Cooler Than Mom Jeans, but Just as Comfortable
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...]
