Last week I needed an easy idea for my Girl Scout Troop, we are currently working on our Inventors Badge. I wanted something that would make the girls think outside the box. As with all my projects it had to be easy and cool, going with the “season” is a bonus. I was using my … Continue reading

Painting Pumpkins 2012
This is the first year both kids wanted to paint pumpkins (which me very happy.) Last year only Booga painted a pumpkin and the princess’s pumpkin died on our kitchen table.

Mummy Juice Boxes – Tasty Tuesday
I want to state upfront this was NOT my idea – Leslie Rahye did 24 mummy juice boxes for her daughter’s class using Duct Tape. I thought it was an amazing idea so I decided to make them for my daughter’s class but with a twist, I decided to use Masking Tape opposed to Duct … Continue reading
The Ghosts of Halloween Past
I love Halloween it is my favorite time of year. I have been everything from Raggedy Ann to The Evil Queen from Snow White. I have been looking through some old pictures of the kids (and me) and came across some of my favorites: I was a Sophomore in High School and went as Alice … Continue reading
Paperclay Halloween Garden Stakes
This project is super easy and is a GREAT kids project! Since I wanted to show how easy this project is I enrolled the help of my children (the princess and the Booga). I will say this project was a little too advance for the Booga (he is 2 and thought we were making cookies … Continue reading
