Last Minute Father’s Day DIY

Father’s Day is TODAY! Well, in our family, we celebrated yesterday. I like to call the Saturday before Father’s Day “stepfather Saturday” because Jake is an amazing stepdad and deserves to be celebrated, just as much as any biological dad. The Saturday immediately before Father’s Day, for two years now, we have had both ofContinue reading “Last Minute Father’s Day DIY”

Q-Tip Polka Dot Painting

We’ve had some severe rain the past few days – so much so that the school I work at was closed early yesterday and out completely today for flooding in the county. When I’m off work and Little Man is home, I keep him home with me to capture any additional time with him thatContinue reading “Q-Tip Polka Dot Painting”

Terra Cotta Pot’o’Gold Craft

This week contains St Patrick’s Day! Since it’s a Wednesday night, I am planning some fun themed activities for my youth group.

Halloween Candy-Corn Jar Lanterns

I am joining the Halloween train, y’all. I don’t usually decorate for this holiday – for two reasons: #1) I love my fall décor and really dislike the idea of taking it down and then putting it back up through Thanksgiving, and #2) I don’t really love spooky stuff and I’m not a huge fan,Continue reading “Halloween Candy-Corn Jar Lanterns”

DIY No-Sew Plastic Bag Holder

If you are like me, you save and reuse those plastic Walmart (or anywhere else) bags. I use them for everything – particularly rough pull-up explosions (because while we are learning to tinkle in the potty, we outright refuse to do the other in the potty), bathroom and bedroom trash can bags, car trash bags,Continue reading “DIY No-Sew Plastic Bag Holder”
