After a long and gloomy winter, it seems that spring has finally sprung at my house, and I could not be happier about it! We’ve had a full week of sunshine and warm temperatures, and all of the flowers in my yard are blooming. Since it’s our first year in this house, I really had no idea what to expect as far as which flowers might be popping up, but so far we’ve had tulips, daffodils, and bunches of sweet little crocuses....

I saw these first at Paper Plate and Plane and knew that my 5 year old was going to love helping me out with them! All you need is an empty egg carton, yellow paint, construction paper, tape, glue and a black marker. Cut out two sections of the egg carton. Cut them apart and then trim the edges so they are even. You’ll want to trim it until the two egg carton pieces can completely close together without any gaps....

I’ve mentioned before that I bake a lot of cookies. And by that, I mean A LOT of cookies. Between my stress baking habit, and all the posts I do for my own blog, I always seem to have treats coming out of my ears. 🙂 Lucky for me, my husband is a nurse on a busy cardiac unit, and his co-workers LOVE when he brings in treats. All those hardworking nurses on the night shift need a little sugar rush to help them get through the night!...

If I had to choose a favorite breakfast food, I think waffles would be pretty high on the list. Whenever we visit a new breakfast place, I always have to try out their waffles so I can judge whether it’s a good restaurant or not. While I’m particularly fond of chicken and waffles (yum!), I’ll eat just about any flavor of waffle happily. I do have a few rules, though – they have to be crisp on the outside, they have to be light and fluffy on the inside (no rubbery waffles for me, thanks!...

The EASIEST Playdough Recipe I love this homemade playdough recipe because you can make it in the microwave instead of on the stove top. Not only does it cool off faster, but it’s also easier to make lots of colours. And it’s just as good or even better than the traditional stovetop recipes! This recipe makes a little more than 1 cup of playdough per batch. And you can mix the colour BEFORE cooking it....

My dad took the photo below, but I really wanted to share it. My sister was so excited about the birthday cake that she was sharing photos of it in her fridge on her phone before it even arrived at the party. How adorable is this picture?! The cake below was the cake that the birthday girl got to blow out candles on. While beautiful, the cake in the photo above just isn’t practical to carry across the room with a flaming candle on top....

But that, my friends, is when it all went down hill. On came child #2, who is now 4 years old and she’s a complete candy addict. That “Finish your dinner and you can have some candy” thing kind of stuck. Which is okay, I guess. I mean, if they reeeeeeeally want candy, they end up eating their dinners. It kind of seems like a win to me? You know, other than that time I found my 4 year old hiding under a chair at 7am with a mostly empty bag of gummy worms....

I love the combination of Benjamin Moore’s Bird’s Egg with the pink curtains. And the sheers add a nice soft glow to her bedroom. The one problem was that the sheers were crazy wrinkly and looked like this when I took them out of the package. I tried my steamer, but they were too thin for the steam to do anything: The other problem was that they were about 3″ too long....

I really don’t like store bought glitter. In fact, I kind of despise it. Because when glitter falls on the floor, it stays on the floor. Forever. And then we have a sparkly floor and I end up walking around the house for weeks with sparkles in my hair. How they end up in my hair, I have no idea, but it happens pretty much every single time we pull out the glitter for a craft....
