Last year, we did a lot of pumpkin crafts for Halloween. This year, I am trying to diversify with monsters, bats, and other creepy things. The ghost handprints were a huge hit with the kids, so we made these Frankenstein handprints in more Halloween cards. We had another rainy weekend, so we spent the day building LEGOs, reading, and crafting. Liam and I were doing some Halloween crafts while Blair…
Liam loves arts and crafts. Throughout last year’s school year, he brought home so many crafts. We didn’t know what to do with all of them. So when camp ended a few weeks ago, we wanted his days between camp and the start of the new school year to remain structured. So in addition to reading his favorite books, writing in his workbooks, and three-thirty p.m. movies, I held art…
We are a family who celebrates everything. The first time using the potty. The first time sleeping in your own bed all night. The first time sleeping in your own bed consistently at night.

In describing her kids’ eating habits, I fell on the floor at Chrissy’s description of Luna being “against things touching things or things in things” because Liam is the same way. He…
We are so excited for our son’s first Valentine’s Day! Like any first holiday, we are more excited to get him involved in whatever cute DIY Valentine craft we are creating. So, we decided to make these adorable stamped feet cards and sent them to our family. Do you remember those Valentine’s Day cards you would buy in grade school? They were themed for whatever cartoon character you loved. They…
My mom kept everything we made for her. It could have been the ugliest school craft, but she kept it. She didn’t have to, but she cherished our handmade crafts. Now, I see how special a handmade craft from your kids can be. My niece is a new big sister and she’s helping out around the house, well as much as a two-year-old can. As we let her mom and dad…
