Customizable Racer Bib Invitations for any running themed party. Edit them in your favorite photo editing to meet the needs of your event. Perfect for a color run, or a track or cross country themed birthday or other event. Could even be used to promote a fun run. I originally made these invitations for my oldest son’s birthday.

Water Trough Planters

Posted on May 7, 2018 by Kerry

Water Trough Planters are a great rustic option for raised flower beds or container garden. The sky is the limit on planting options – flowers, vegetables, herbs or whatever your heart desires. I don’t know about where you are, but we have reached that time of year where we can plant annual flowers and don’t have to worry about them freezing. So my mom and I headed to my favorite flower store. I plunked down a pretty penny for some flowers. Maybe next year I need to start them from seed. Those puppies weren’t cheap. We have a large patio

Hot Cocoa Bar

Posted on December 1, 2017 by Kerry

What better way to endure all the snow and cold than with a Hot Cocoa Bar. A fun way to have a party and stay warm during the winter. Snow! So much snow! Jamie, Lucy and I were just talking about how we get tired just thinking about going outside. It seems us adults don’t enjoy the snow and cold like we did as kids. I think it has to do with adults having less energy than kids. Staying warm requires energy and why use the energy for that. Kids seems to have an abundance of energy so they don’t

Geometric Cinnamon Stick Ornament

Posted on October 23, 2017 by Jamie H

Making your own Geometric Cinnamon Stick Ornament is fun, easy, and smells great! One of my favorite Christmas traditions with my kids is making ornaments. We’ve made really simple ones out of craft sticks when the kids were little. We’ve made Keepsake Ornaments from clay, and others that I’ve never shared on the blog. But one of my favorites was the geometric cinnamon stick ornaments that we made last year. We didn’t make them early enough for me to blog them last year, so I decided that now’s the time to share them with you! My favorite things about these

A cute and easy Peeps Wreath will dress your home up for Easter easily! {This post contains affiliate links, if you order through one we will receive a small commission. Thanks} I was at our local dollar store the other day, and noticed that they had Peeps in stock. For only a dollar a pack, I couldn’t resist.
