Hmmmm… Mini cornucopias, Mini pumpkin pies, Mini bundt cake pumpkins… I definitely seem to be running with the “mini” theme this fall! And what’s not to love? Everything looks better when it’s miniature. It hides the flaws, it makes it more manageable, and it’s just plain cute. I used waffle cones to make these, but I’ll be honest, that was a little bit of a mistake at the grocery store – I meant to buy sugar cones instead....
I have had zero luck with mixing random amounts of water and dish soap, so I’ve had to resort to using a bubble recipe to get decent bubbles. This recipe makes super strong bubbles that you supposedly can hold in your hand if you are wearing a glove. It really is too bad that we didn’t have a glove handy because that would have been really fun to try!...
You might be asking, what is sugar scrub? Well, sugar scrubs are a type of exfoliator that help remove dead skin buildup. They’re supposed to help make your skin soft and smooth. Some people even go as far as saying they help give the skin that “glowing” look. I’m not an expert, but my google searches say that cucumber is amazing for your skin! It’s an antioxidant that contains vitamin C and vitamin A....
Or at least a grown up can make them that quickly. It will probably take the kids a little bit longer. 🙂 But if your kids are anything like mine, you’ll probably end up “helping” them by making the entire craft anyway. Do your kids do that too? Even when I end up making most of the craft for them, my kids are still convinced they made it themselves. But they’re so happy when we’re done and they have something cute that they can go off and play with!...
No-Sew Halloween Plushies With a few pieces of felt, our free printable template and a glue gun you can make one of these cuties in about 20 minutes. Grab our free printable template down below! I used to love sewing, I really did. But somehow with kids, I just don’t seem to have the time to sew anything more than the arms, wings, legs, etc. that annoyingly fall off the the made-in-china stuffed animals my kids smother with love....
This is the last (but not least) post in our pipe cleaner rings series. We’ve also posted tutorials and videos for Pipe Cleaner Flower Rings, Pipe Cleaner Butterfly Rings, and Pipe Cleaner Daisy Rings. I couldn’t decide which ones I liked the best, so there’s tutorials and videos for all of them! And just like the other pipe cleaner rings, these pipe cleaner rose rings are really low mess. Actually, these are ZERO MESS....
Do you remember puffy paint? If you grew up in the 80’s or 90’s like I did, you might remember heading to the craft store to grab some neon colored puff paint so that you could personalize that white t-shirt for whatever event was coming up. We would decorate shirts for sleepovers, sports teams, school events and all sorts of things. Before cameo or silhouette machines, puff paint was our only option!...
My three year old is a sucker for candy (haha I’m starting with the puns already!). Maybe all three year olds are? I’m not sure? But our little girl goes crazy for sugar and she LOVES lolly pops. When she saw these lolly pop heart flowers sitting on the kitchen table her eyes lit up and it triggered her one-track-candy-mind and she started repeating, “Can I have one Mommy? How about now?...

I’ll be the first person to raise my hand and admit, “I can’t draw or paint”. And trying to make me do either of those two things will make me want to hide my head in embarrassment. (I’m shaking my head just thinking about how awkward I always felt in grade school art class!) But I can get on board with process art, where the overall journey of creating the art is more important than the final product....

I said they could hang whatever they wanted on the BACK of the tree… ha! Hopefully that doesn’t make me a bad mom for making them hide everything on the back?! I had to draw the line at my 3 year old’s chalk drawings though. She was just sticking full sheets of construction paper in the tree that were just covered in sidewalk chalk. She had so much chalk on them that if you even breathed on them, there would be a small cloud of chalk dust in the air above them....

Kiwis are one of those fruits where other than just eating them raw, I have no idea what to do with them. But when I started looking, it turns out that there are TONS of amazing recipes you can use with your kiwis! You can juice them, freeze them, bake with them or use them in salads or on top of desserts. I had no idea. Or at least, I had never really thought about it before now....
Beaded Spider “Spider” and “beautiful” is not a combination of words I thought I would ever say, but these beaded spiders truly are beautiful! And they’re very easy to make! They make perfect Halloween decorations, but you can also make them into a Christmas spider ornament (more on that below). You can tie fishing line through the little loop by the head and hang them, or you could even glue a magnet onto the body and display it on the fridge....
Does your family have any great holiday recipes? The kind that are passed down from generation to generation, and written down in grandma’s handwriting on faded, stained recipe cards? I’ve always been a little sad that my family doesn’t have any of those. My maternal grandmother, with whom I’ve always been close, is a fantastic and adventurous woman, but she has never been much of a cook. My mom is a great cook, but she pretty much never uses a recipe, and I can almost never replicate what she makes....
