These eggs can be a little messy to make, so you probably don’t want to be trying this craft with young children. But in all honesty, it’s not THAT bad. For the other galaxy Easter egg tutorials I’ve seen online, you have to paint the eggs, and then you have to splatter paint on them for the stars. Which I actually think is messier? So I think if you’re planning to make galaxy Easter eggs, whatever method you decide on, you pretty much just have to accept the fact that things might get a little messy....

If your kids are in preschool or elementary school, chances are that you have a fair amount of handprint art and crafts around the house. I love these keepsake crafts because they remind me of just how little my kids once were and how fast that they are growing. I’m always on the hunt for a new and fresh handprint craft, especially with Mother’s Day quickly approaching. I love the idea of coming up with a handprint craft that is cute enough to keep out to add to your spring decor....

Do you keep a schedule for your kids during the summer or is it pretty laid back? I am naturally a very laid back person, but my kids absolutely thrive on a schedule. So, even though it doesn’t come naturally for me, I have learned that when we schedule out our days in the summer months, everyone is much happier. One of my girls is particularly schedule obsessed. My husband taught her how to start a spreadsheet and she enters in her daily schedule and checks it regularly....

I’ve eaten 4 (or is it 5 now?) of them since I made them this morning. Yum! I just can’t help myself! I pushed off my lunch until almost 2pm because I was so full. Peanut butter has lots of protien, so they really do make a great afternoon snack to curb your appetite. Or they’re a fun breakfast if you’re on the run! I’ve been reading a lot of recipes for these peanut butter cereal bites online, and a lot of people seem to have issues with getting them to set and be firm....

It’s totally up to you!...

Where I live, there are tons of sunflowers popping up at the end of summer and the beginning of fall. I just love how huge they can get. There are so many beautiful variations of sunflowers and I don’t think there is a more cheerful flower out there. A few years ago, my daughter brought home a tiny sunflower seed that she had planted in a cup in school. She randomly found a spot in the front yard and buried her little seed....

When I think of spring baking, berries always seem to come to mind. I’ve still got another month or so until I can start picking fresh berries here in the Pacific Northwest, but that doesn’t stop my craving for them. I love baking with berries, and blueberries are one of my favorites to use. They’re so versatile, and much sturdier to bake with than a lot of other berries. I think they’re totally delicious in everything from sweet breads to shortcake to pies....

Five minutes and five dollars. That’s my kind of project! We go through a lot of paper in our house. I feel responsible for the death of a lot of trees. Construction paper. Printer paper. Colouring books. Sketch pads. Notes beside the phone. We have all of it. And once the kids have made their mark, into the recycling it goes. (Using my stealthy hiding skills of course. Once they see it in the recycling bin, it’s ten times harder to convince them to let me throw it out....

When you see the picture below, you’ll probably be thinking, “Well of course… that’s so easy!” But I find that nothing is ever easy when my kids burst into my office after school at 3:45pm asking me for craft ideas. (They don’t say, “Hello Mommy! How was your day?” nope… just “Hey Mom, can we make a craft?” Ha!) And my mind almost ALWAYS goes completely blank. So this is a super simple idea that you can keep tucked away in the back of your mind....
