creating a lot out of a little
Okay, I know I'm a little late this year and we will have to double our thankful comments, but I'm so excited about this new November tradition I made for my family! This project is inspired by something I saw in a Pottery Barn catalog a few years ago but I like mine a lot [...]
As I was getting ready for the "Moms With A Mission" blog series I found this book that fit so perfectly: Here's what the author (Kristen Summers) has to say about the book: Do you want your preschooler to have a heart to serve others? I'm willing to bet that you have great ambitions for [...]

We are on letter "D" of: This is another craft project that is fun to make and fun to play with once it's done! My son has had fun with it and can always remember that "D is for dinosaur!" This would also be an excellent project to make with a playgroup or at a birthday [...]

My sweet hubby has an annual pumpkin decorating contest and he likes to talk a lot of smack with his co-workers about how our pumpkin will put all others to shame, so that means the pressure is on to create an amazing pumpkin! Of course this year the week leading up to the competition my [...]
What do you do with a funky little office nook in your kitchen? Turn it into a little rustic Tuscan escape! Believe it or not these walls were originally covered in black wallpaper with fruit on it. I re-textured the walls with a rustic skip trowel texture and painted them to look like ancient plaster [...]
I was so excited when I received a box full of Aleene's glues and adhesives; maybe a little too excited because I tore into them and started using them before I even had time to take a picture of them. I have found them SO useful in so many projects... I especially love using the Tacky Tape [...]

This is a bedroom I painted for a sweet little girl who was in love with the city of Paris and wanted to be a little artist! I painted a serene garden mural on 2 walls. I made it look like her bed was surrounded by beautiful flowers with the Eiffel tower in the background. [...]
We are on letter "C" of: We love to read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," by Eric Carle so I decided our craft would be a caterpillar! I love this project because it is fun to make and also fun to play with (actually my son has been sleeping with it ever since we made it)! [...]

One of my favorite things about living in the DFW area is fall at the Dallas Arboretum. We may not have the breathtaking fall foliage like New England, but we have a stunning fall display with more pumpkins than you could ever imagine! No matter what time of year I go to the Arboretum I either [...]

We are finally starting to have some weather here below 90 degrees so it's really starting to feel like fall! Okay so it may not really feel like fall but at least I like to make my house feel like fall by cooking fall foods that make the house smell yummy and putting up cute [...]
Yesterday I told you about how I am teaching the alphabet to my son and shared tons of awesome resources for teaching toddlers. Now I'm going to show you our first alphabet project for the letter "A"! This would also be a great project for a birthday party or playgroup-- you could do the cutting [...]
My 2-year-old son loves the alphabet. In fact, I can tell when he wakes up in the morning because I hear him saying the alphabet in his bed. I thought it would be fun for us to work our way through the alphabet, so each week (or sometimes 2 weeks depending on how "with-it" I am) we [...]
