Tweet I did a little trial egg hunt with my almost three-year-old last week and realized that she doesn’t quite get it. She was all for me hiding the eggs, but then the “go and find them” part was a little lost on her. I started looking around and I found some great ideas to [...]

Mommy SOS | Ms. Manners
Tweet Dear Mommas, My almost three year old has decided she is now “shy” and won’t speak to people. I’m not asking her to have a conversation, but I am trying very hard to teach her nice manners. Hello, goodbye, thank you, you’re welcome, I’m 2 years old, etc. However, instead of answering when someone [...]
Valentine’s Dinner In
Tweet I don’t know about you, but just thinking about the work that goes into going out for dinner on Valentine’s Day exhausts me. Finding a sitter, finding a reservation, finding something to wear, finding the kiddo’s favorite jammies, finding a time when my husband can get home early enough for dinner but late enough [...]
Happy Closet, Happy Momma
Tweet I always loved watching when Oprah would give tours of her home and office. Colin Cowie would be walking with her and pointing out how her closet was not only organized, but beautiful. Every nook and cranny of her house was gorgeous and cleverly and meticulously neat. Obviously Oprah has a few (read: many) [...]
DIY Holiday Wrapping Paper
Tweet Cripes wrapping paper is expensive! And the cheap stuff rips and tears. Let’s be honest, how a gift is wrapped, matters. When I receive a present where the wrapping is as good as the gift inside, it makes it even more special. So how do you get quality wrap at a great price? You do it [...]

The Thankful Turkey I love this little guy. While I was making him, I thought of a ton of variations for how, what, [...]
DIY Chair Cushion Reupholstering – Big Bang for a Little Buck
Tweet This is a great project to give your existing furniture an inexpensive update – or give a new piece your own style! Our kitchen bar stools get a lot of use and therefore quite dirty. My daughter Baylor’s highchair used to connect to one and now she seats herself at “her” stool for each meal – [...]
Invisible Vegetables – A Recipe Even Picky Eaters Will Love
Tweet I was so excited when Baylor started to eat solid foods because it meant I could start to use my handy little appliance, the Beaba BabyCook. I gently steamed and pureed a month’s worth of baby food the first week – and I haven’t stopped since. Even now that she is two, I still [...]
Three Fun Halloween Craft Ideas
Tweet Paper Pumpkins: Easy and Fun to do with Little Ones I love this craft because it is so simple and I could create these fun little gourds with my two-year-old! What you’ll need: 1. Heavy paper – scrap book paper and card stock both work well. 2. Hole punch – either circle or something funky, whatever [...]
DIY Kids Calendar
Tweet A few weeks ago I set out to find a calendar for my two-year-old daughter, Baylor. I wanted her to be able to see what was on our calendar each day and learn the days of the week. To say my search came up short is an understatement. So I decided to create a personalized [...]
