We decorated Easter eggs last night by melting crayons! I stumbled upon a cool new way to decorate Easter eggs by using crayons while the eggs are still hot when perusing Pinterest. It was very simple and also not very messy. We decorated them this way with a 9 year old (my cousin Mindi) and… Continue reading Melted Crayon Easter Eggs – Dye Free Easter Eggs
Today we hosted a Toddler St. Patrick’s Day Party. This group of parents and children get together frequently, but today we decided to embrace the upcoming holiday and eat a lot of green (and rainbow) colored foods, craft with green paints and wear as much green as our wardrobes allowed. It has been such a… Continue reading Toddler St. Patrick’s Day Party With Crafts Food and Favors
Making homemade food portable and easy to grab for when “On The Go” can be difficult. As much as I want to always provide healthy options for Eliana, it is sometimes easier to just run through a drive through while we are out and about.

We also keep a basket full of puzzles to the right of the cable box – so it is often times very tempting to push the buttons… Continue reading Baby-proofing the Cable Box – diy

It looks a little bit like our Child Made Thank You Cards except we only used red white and green paint for this art project. It is a fun… Continue reading DIY Wrapping Paper
Instead of the traditional Gingerbread House this year we opted for a Gingerbread Man. Mostly because I think a gingerbread house would look like a tornado hit it after we decorated it with a 1 year old. 🙂 We got all of our supplies together. We made it pretty simple – since we weren’t eating… Continue reading Gingerbread Man Decorating

On Friday night, Jonathan Eliana and I went out to dinner. I was so proud of Eliana as she sat in her high chair at our table and enjoyed our family mealtime. We of course have mealtimes together almost every night at home, so sitting in her highchair while we sit around the table and… Continue reading Eating Out – Children’s Menu?
