I believe I’ve mentioned before, but in case you weren’t listening… CHRISTMAS IS MY FAVORITE. I love everything about it. So I was especially excited for Book Club this month. I chose an old classic, The Sweet Smell of Christmas* by Patricia M. Scarry {you can purchase it HERE*}. It’s actually a scratch-and-sniff book, which…
Christmas Memory Game {FREE Printable!}
We’re not big “game” people in our house, but one game we ALL love is memory. It’s one of the first games Sophie learned how to play, and she’s gotten pretty good! She has a habit of making up her own rules, though. It doesn’t matter how many times I explain them to her, she…
Monthly Book Club: The Day the Crayons Quit
Ok, y’all. To make things simpler (for me!) I’ve decided Monthly Book Club will be on the first Friday of every month. That way we all know when to expect it! This month, we chose The Day the Crayons Quit*, by Drew Daywalt. It’s a book of letters to a boy named Duncan, from a…
Free Friday
So, I’m posting about “Free Friday”… on a Saturday. Halloween kind of consumed our weekend, so I might be a bit behind 🙂 But if you think about it, I’m just giving y’all plenty of time to prep for next Friday, so… you’re welcome! The concept behind Free Friday is simple – once a month,…

DIY Glow-in-the-dark Fort
Can I just start this post off by saying how hard it is to take pictures in the dark?? I’m pretty new to photography, and this one sure was a challenge! Most of the pics came out blurry and you couldn’t see much… haha. Well, I have a lot to learn 🙂 Regardless of my…
Blindfolded Taste Test
There is something about recreating my childhood traditions with my own kids that makes me feel so… old. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that I was blindfolded in my parents’ kitchen, while my brother fed me the most awful tasting thing he could find in the pantry. And now I’m doing…
10 Seconds of Dance
As I’ve mentioned before, Sophie has quite the personality. She loves music and dances around the house to her own made-up songs. She’s also crazy good at remembering lyrics to songs on the radio. Not even kidding – we’ll be in the car and a random song will come on {that I don’t even know}…
Monthly Book Club: The Very Cranky Bear
I decided to start a monthly Book Club on the blog! My plan is to post a fun book, with a craft and/or treat to go with it. My sister is part of a book club with her friends, and I think it is such a great idea! This post is what she did when…
DIY Baby Tap Shoes
As parents, sometimes we need to get a little creative in order to keep things running smoothly around the house. When my sister had her first baby, she had a hard time cooking dinner because her little 1-year-old would be getting into everything. So she came up with a great idea: baby tap shoes!
