This past weekend, we celebrated our sweet little girl's 6th birthday. She specifically asked for a movie party which got the wheels turning in this party mom's head. We live in Houston and there's always a really good chance that in January, we can party outdoors. This is how I like to do things since our yard is way more accommodating than our house. I decided we would do an outdoor movie party and things just fell in to place after that. Thank goodness for unseasonable seasons! Sadly, I... Read Full Story

The other day, we were in the car on our way somewhere. My 5 year old daughter was pointing out that I had forgotten to do something she wanted me to, or had asked for and of course I felt bad. I have so much guilt wrapped up in my mommy package. I want so much to do right by my children and don't doubt that I do. It's just very important to me that they have a better childhood than I did, so I tend to set {sometimes} crazy expectations for myself to accomplish the amazing. Thing is, I can't...

I was in the garage the other day when I spotted a glass whiskey bottle I have been holding on to "just in case". I thought it was the bottle's day to shine. Literally. This was an ordinary looking glass bottle that transformed to beautiful white porcelain right before my eyes. My husband needs to hurry and drink more liquor that comes in pretty bottles. I don't think he will argue. I always have white and black spray paint around for those moments I become stricken with the desire to craft... Read Full Story

This was such a fun, messy craft to do with my little ones. I had seen this in a magazine with tissue paper, but couldn't find orange tissue anywhere. I figured party napkins would work well and the texture turned out so cool! They are bumpy like warty gourds. I bet crepe paper would be super cool too! Supplies: Napkins, Mod Podge, Jars, Brushes. Prepare to get messy! Cut the napkins in to strips. Apply a small amount of Mod Podge at a time. Enough for one strip at a time. Overlap strips all... Read Full Story

This is easy peasy! Roll up two diapers at a time and tie to wire wreath mold. I made this one last year for a sweet friend's hospital door and it was rerouted to her front door. She loved it so much, she never took it down to use the diapers! Read Full Story

Oh my gluestick! I can't believe it's been a month since my last post. Life has been fast and furious since my oldest started Kindergarten. I've been keeping up with homework, life with a three year old, and the trials of juggling a business around an infant's schedule. Life is good, but busy. In my *spare* time I still craft when I can. I need that outlet and to be brainless with something. Especially since I feel like I have no brain left. I found a couple of old cabinet doors on our way... Read Full Story

Tomorrow is the big day for my sweet little Kindergartener! I can't believe it's real. Five years have just flown by in a blink. She's super excited and I am as well for her. For me, I am selfishly sad that I won't get to spend every waking minute with her as I have these past five years. She is the neatest little girl and to loose any time with her, although necessary, is just heartbreaking. We put together a little gift for her teacher that I hope she will like. It's an assortment of... Read Full Story

My sweet little princess is starting Kindergarten next week and I am just beside myself. I have been so distracted by the thoughts of her growing up and starting this big new adventure, that I have completely forgotten about a gift for her teacher. Two hours before it was time to go to "Meet the Teacher" today, I frantically whipped something up. It is inspired by the phrase "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON", something I really need to be doing instead of thinking about my baby leaving and tearing up... Read Full Story
