I love a good cup of coffee, and this basket is fun to put together for the coffee lovers in your life! For a great centerpiece, start with your favorite coffee and two plain mugs (I got the ones in the picture at Walmart for $1.25 each because I couldn't find any at the dollar…
The following post is from Kat of Inspired To Action: The Pomodoro Parenting Technique I may win the geeky mom award for this post, but it's a chance I'm willing to take. I love reading about time management, productivity, and organization. There is even the slight possibility that I read about it more than I…
Shaina from Food for My Family recently came for a visit to hang out and take family photos for us. Among the many fun things she brought with her were a pack of cardboard mustaches, glasses, and lips to use as photo props. The girls were so excited to play with these, and I decided…
The handprint calendar is one of our most popular projects, and it is one of my favorites! It's really a lot of fun to watch handprints transform into animals, characters, and symbols, and my girls have always loved the feel of the paint on their hands. This year I've added a few new handprints --…
This is a fun gift for the chocolate-and-coffee lover in your life!

The following post is from Kacey of Next Level Mama: 101 Days of Christmas: Christmas Mad Libs What do you get when you cross your favorite Christmas carols with Mad Libs, one of the funniest games around? You get Christmas Libs. Or is it Mad Carols? Whatever you call it, it's an easy and…
The following post is from Jennifer, a lifelong educator: The Lessons of Common Sense How many times have you asked yourself, “What was that child thinking?!?” We can laugh at some of the predicaments a preschooler gets into. As a child gets older, though, poor decisions can turn serious or even tragic if he or…
I've seen so many fabric flower projects but never taken the time to make my own until recently. My mom and I made these fabric flowers to go on this year's Christmas wreath (post coming soon!), and they are surprisingly easy to make. Use fabric flowers on wreaths, in place of bows on gifts, or…
I love sending Christmas postcards rather than regular cards because the postage is less expensive and it saves me the extra step of stuffing and sealing envelopes! This "partridge in a pear tree" design is my favorite, so this year I made a printable postcard to go with the gift tags and appreciation tags from…
