Easy Beaded Bracelet Tutorial
I was in the mood for bracelets this week. I wanted to make a few that I could stack up my arm for fun so I dug around in my crafting stash to see what I had on hand. I came up with some…
Turn Ordinary Takeout Chopsticks Into Easy-to-use Kids’ Chopsticks
This past weekend we had a family get-together where we celebrated the Lunar New Year with a Chinese takeout feast. We had two sets of kids’ chopsticks (the kind that are joined at the top to make it easier for kids to use them)…
Easy Felt Valentine’s Day Coasters
I made these easy (really super easy) felt Valentine’s drink coasters the other day, as part of my “spruce up the house for holidays other than Christmas” plan for this year. I was browsing blogs last week and came across some cute felt coasters…

My daughter’s kindergarten teacher sent us home from Curriculum Night with a list of sight words for the kids to memorize, with the suggestion to “make flash cards or something”. Sight word flash cards sounds extra boring to me, so I decided to make…
More Travel Journals for Kids
I got these sweet blank journals at an event this summer and set them aside to use for the kids’ travel journals this fall. I’m starting to add some activity pages and the nameplate pages.
