I saw a pin on Pinterest long ago of a toddler playing with pipe cleaners and colanders. So, I picked up some pipe cleaners from the store, took out our colander and said, “Here, toddler…. play.” And play she did. Sure, I showed her how to put the ends of the pipe cleaner through the little […]

Gwyn loves to paint. What toddler doesn’t? The only snafu is that it can be a little messy. That, and cleaning paint bowls and brushes isn’t the funnest thing to do. And then you also have the water cup that needs to be refilled due to dirty paint water or because your toddler spilled it. […]
One of the things I was most nervous about before I had Calvin was what to do with Gwyneth when I needed to nurse Calvin. Would she allow me to sit and do my thing? Or would she become a little jealous and want my attention too? In preparing for the worst, I put together […]
Getting real ducks to come to Gwyneth’s birthday party was something I thought would be a stretch. I did a little googling and didn’t find many sources for “baby ducks” around the area at the time, so I decided to post a Craigslist ad. It was titled something like, “Baby ducks wanted to rent for daughter’s birthday […]

One of my favorite DIY projects is this growth chart. It can easily be transported from home to home and our kiddos can watch themselves grow over the years. Plus, it just looks AWESOME!!! My first attempt was kind of a flop, though it still turned out pretty good. I took most of the “how […]
My mom loves a good craft project as much as I do, especially if it benefits one of her loved ones. So, my mom wrote today’s post on how to make one of Gwyneth’s new favorite gifts, the Pillowcase Roll Bed. Enjoy! “So I will admit it, I like to check out Pinterest now and […]
We are finally done with Little Man’s room! Honestly, it’s been done for a few weeks now, but I didn’t feel like it was truly “done” until all clothes were washed and every little detail was in place. What makes this room so special to us are all of the family ties throughout the whole […]
These are a few finished DIY projects that I, or people that love me, have either made because I couldn’t find what I was envisioning, or because I didn’t want to pay for it! I purchased wooden crates and an AWESOME old window pane at an antique store with the intention of using them as […]
