It has been a whirl wind week, with Christmas Programs, Christmas Vacation and preparing for the big man in red. Since the Princess has started school we have done “class presents” usually a bookmark and something else. This year it was just the bookmarks, the princess didn’t really want to help me with projects this … Continue reading
I was suppose to have Day 8 but Dawn was awesome enough to switch because I did the Steampunk Blog Hop. This project I had help with (lots of help). Booga loves Angry Birds, I thought it would be a great project for us to do together.
The project was originally a SWAP Project that I modified for a cute keepsake and reminder of the Girl Scout Law. My girls are 5-7 year olds since this was our first project I was unsure of their skill level. I wanted to make it as pain free and easy as possible for both them … Continue reading
Every year I go through the same thing personalizing school supplies. Our school has a pretty strict dress code including clear or mesh backpacks which are really hard to personalize. I always have visions of my daughter coming home with another child’s backpack because they all look the same. I know the teachers really appreciate … Continue reading

I love soft pretzels, I would buy the microwavable ones when in college and would eat the whole box with mustard for dinner. One of the magazines my daughter gets is Big Backyard (from the National … Continue reading
Several years ago my friend got the princess a SpongeBob Snow Cone Maker. I cringed – I thought why would someone do this to me, with my fondness of Blue Raspberry Snow cones that I can now make at any time, all I could say is why. It has been on the top shelf of … Continue reading
We have been frequenting the library quite a bit this summer and one of the books I checked out was, “Simple Puppets from Everyday Materials” by Barbara MacDonald Buetter. I thought this would be fun to make one or two puppets with the Princess, I had not planned on making every puppet in the book … Continue reading
When you have a princess and a Booga there is never a dull moment. The other day the princess said, “Mom I am a super hero and I need a cape.” Me: “What is your super hero name?” Her: “Subtraction Girl! I also need a logo on my cape. You make great logos mom!” (Buttering … Continue reading
