Transitioning to a Toddler Diaper Bag

Posted on August 22, 2016 by Jamie H

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SuperAbsorbent #CollectiveBias Find out what you need to include in a diaper bag as you transition out of the baby stage and into the toddler stage! Plus, how shopping for Huggies Diapers at Costco helps save you money! I’ll be honest, packing around a diaper bag for a baby was sometimes a bit daunting (especially while packing around the baby as well!). So by the time we started transitioning into toddlerhood, I was tempted to just ditch the diaper bag altogether. However, since

DIY Kid Costumes

Posted on October 5, 2015 by Jamie H

12 Ideas for kid costumes you can make at home! My kids love dressing up. For us, costumes aren’t a once a year thing, they’re an every day thing. But I don’t know if you’ve noticed how terribly made constumes from the store are, these days? They’re definitely designed to be good for only one day, or at the most a week. Since I couldn’t find great quality costumes that my kids can wear throughout the year to play in, I decided to find some great costumes to make instead. So I wanted to share with you some of the

We Are Thankful Wreath

Posted on November 4, 2014 by Lucy

A hand print wreath with fall colors that is a great craft to kids to make to remind them to be thankful throughout the month of November. The kids and I always do some sort of “Thankful” or “Thanksgiving” project every year. We started with Thanksgiving trees many years ago and we used hand prints for the leaves and I loved it. Last year, I wanted to do something different, so we made thankful jars. And dropped acorns in every day and said what we were thankful for. But of course, this year I had to do something

Motorola Baby Monitor

Posted on October 23, 2014 by Jamie H

When Miss Magoo was a baby, we received a video monitor quite by accident (the wrong product was shipped to us, and the company didn’t want us to return it). I loved having a video monitor, but unfortunately an unsteady toddler tripped on the cord and broke it. So when I was given the opportunity to review a Motorola MBP36S Video Baby Monitor, I jumped on it! I have to tell a funny story about baby monitors. When Miss Magoo was a little baby, she started testing the waters to see if she could get out of her crib. So

Easy Fall Nature Craft for Kids

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Lucy

If you’ve been around our website before you know that we only do easy or fairly easy kids crafts. We just don’t believe in sharing “kids crafts” that a kid hasn’t actually done or could actually do. You won’t find those fancy kids crafts here that you can’t replicate no matter how hard you try. So when I say this is easy, I mean it!! But it was fun and entertained my younger two children for quite awhile. In fact, it took up the entire time the older two were at piano lessons. Easy Fall Nature Craft

Tips for Surviving The Witching Hour

Posted on September 8, 2014 by Lucy

If you have kids, you instantly know what I’m talking about when I mention the 5pm blues, pre-dinner drama or the “witching hour.” I have not met a mom yet that didn’t experience this. That’s the time of day, when everything and I mean EVERYTHING can go horribly wrong! The time of day when even the most sane mom wants to make the kids a pb&j sandwich and crawl in a hole and pray for bedtime to come soon!! So what can you do? I mean, besides the hole thing? Through a lot of trial and error and mostly error,

Button & Pipe Cleaner Caterpillars and Last Minute Mother’s Day Ideas

Posted on May 5, 2014 by Lucy

So this isn’t the normal type of “Outside the Box Mondays” post. But I’ve been wanting to share this kid’s craft with you for soon and and am just finally getting the chance. Also I wanted to share this easy craft before Mother’s Day as it would be a really cute craft to do with a Sunday School class, or other group of kids for their mothers. But almost the entire craft was made from leftovers from other crafts, so in that way it does fit with “outside the box” as this was a very inexpensive craft! We stuck our

Peanut Butter Playdough

Posted on April 29, 2014 by Jamie H

Peanut Butter Playdough is a fun and edible kid activity! I saw this fun idea for Peanut Butter Playdough from Kids Activities Blog, and we just had to try it out! Miss Magoo and Little Man thought it was so funny that we were “making” play dough with marshmallows and peanut butter. Honestly, I wasn’t sure it was going to work. I’m a bit of a skeptic. But we gave it a try anyway, and the peanut butter playdough turned out just the texture of regular playdough (though a bit stickier). The kids were able to roll it and make
