Green Giant Veggie Snacks

Just received my free Veggie Snacks from bzzagent today. They were super yummy and they kids enjoyed passing out the extra samples and coupons.

Bee Mine

 My little guy is old enough this year to understand Valentine's Day so I am helping him make a few things for some of the people he loves. I saw cute jumbo heart crayons made by melting your old broken ones into a silicone mold. Rather than buy a new mold I decided to use one I already own. I happen to have a silicone mold for making cupcake bugs. This gave me the idea for the Valentines my son will be giving a few of his friends.

Eye Art

Peacock Eyes

My family is full of creative people with a variety of talents and hobbies. Most of us crochet and several are scrapbookers. Many of our households contain a sewing machine or two and a few of us draw and paint. My sisters would probably tell you she was one of the least artistic members of the family but I strongly believe otherwise. She chooses a different canvas but she is very talented and I would like to take the time to show off some of her work to thank her for all of the times she bragged about mine.

The Child of an 80's Child

Once upon a time I had gigantic permed hair and the poofiest bangs known to man. My wardrobe consisted of over-sized neon t-shirts, leggings, brightly colored miss-matched socks, keds and of course leg warmers. I loved my leg warmers so much and was unbelievably excited to see they are making a comeback just in time for my daughter to rock a pair of her own. As the child of an 80's child it is an absolute must that my daughter have a pair of leg warmers. I found a cute crochet pattern and I will definately have to give it a try soon but I am impatient and needed to find a fast no-sew solution.  Here's my super fun idea.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

 You get asked this question a million times as a kid. And it's this very question that has inspired my next photo project.

Diy Scarecrow costume

I am by no means a seamstress, although I often wish that was. I love Halloween and prefer a fun diy costume to a sad looking store bought disguises. For my son's first trick-or-treat adventure I turned him into the most adorable scarecrow ever.

A visit from Peter Pan

 My kids are very into pirates right now. They can't get enough of Jake and the Never Land Pirates. I had a pirate party for my son's 2nd birthday and they have a ton of fun with all of the left over props. The other day my little guy was playing in the yard with his shovel when he walked up to me and just about broke my heart. He said to me in his saddest little voice, "Mommy, I've walked all over and I looked everywhere and I still don't find any treasure". I of course needed to remember this asap so I came up with an idea.
