Painting Pottery with Grandma

Posted in Family

We had so much fun spending time with Grandma and Grandpa last week. We’re so thankful that we had the time together. We kept things pretty low key without a crazy schedule. One day, we headed over to the local pottery place to paint some pottery. Grandpa was our cheering section as we took our time painting our pieces. He took some pictures as well as shared our adventure with Munchkin’s cousin. We wish they could have been there as well, but it wasn’t possible this time. Last time they were out we had planned on coming here, but bad…

Baby Shower Onesie and Washcloth Cupcakes

Posted in Homemaking

It’s always a bummer when you can’t make it to special events for family members. D’s brother and his wife are expecting their first child, and they had their baby shower this past weekend.

I topped them with…

This method encouraged other council members to listen to the speaker and be respectful of the person’s viewpoint during their turn with the talking stick. The idea was that the viewpoint of each member of the council would be valued…

Candy Cane Treat Containers

Posted in Holidays, and Homemaking

It’s always fun to be able to give guests little treats when they come to visit. I first made these little treat containers when Munchkin was little. I would have a basket by the door so we could hand them out to guests as they left. I’ve used them to jazz up stocking stuffers as well. They’re quick, easy, and use things that you probably already have around the house. To make it easier, I created a free printable candy cane wrapper. Because you may be filling with gender specific treats, I went ahead and made both a red &…

Munchkin and I are happy to be part of the Elmer’s Projects for Great Futures Program which benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.  We were given the task of coming up with a creative project using an Elmer’s Tri-Fold Board from Walmart.  Once we completed the project, we needed to submit a picture of our project along with the required information according to the specified rules.  You can join us and submit your own projects until December 12, 2011.  Elmer’s will chose finalists based on originality and creativity.  On December 14th, visit http://www.greatfutures.org/elmers to see the finalists and start…
