I have been wanting to make some yarn pom poms for ages. {By the way, say “pom pom” over and over again and tell me how weird that word – words? – is}. I saw some cute little animal-themed ones online awhile back and realized that they could really become anything I wanted them to be. …
I’m super excited to be working with Nintendo (so are my kids!). We received product so we could share our experiences with you. All opinions are my own. If there is a gamer in your life, you’ll be as excited as we are about the Nintendo Switch and this DIY Link costume! My kids are eight …
Is anyone else hosting Easter brunch or dinner this year?? It’s my first time, and I am on Pin overload. So many crafts, so little time! I’m usually a casual, sit-where-you-like kind of gal, but I’m going to try something new this time around and make seating arrangements (if I can conquer a wedding …
You know what the best kind of crafts are? Cheap and easy ones. This craft couldn’t get any cheaper or easier. I made it for $5 using products from Dollar General. It took me five minutes (tops) to make the whole thing, from start to finish. This easy St. Patrick’s Day wreath can dress up …
You know what I did differently this year? I did my kids’ Valentines early.

I love candy hearts. Mostly, eating them. But it seems I’ve also made a bunch of fun DIY candy heart craft projects, as evidenced here, here, and here (geez…Necco needs to give me a job, y’all!). They’re just so fun and easy to use, and basically all you have to do is glue them to something …
WOW, Christmas is only a couple of weeks away! Don’t fight the long crowds or stressful situations this year and get creative! I don’t know about you, but I have quite a few people to buy for. I’m not trying to spend a lot of money on each gift, so DIY it is! Holiday Snack …
My house is a hodge podge of random Christmas decorations we’ve collected over the years. It’s easy to get caught up in Christmas Decoration Envy this time of year (hellllo, Pinterest and gorgeous home bloggers!). But I keep coming back to the easier (and cheaper, and less work-intensive) decorating style inside me – the one …
Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming! Excuse my while I get all “Buddy the Elf” over my favorite holiday. The kids love Christmas, too, and a few years ago, my mom introduced them to reindeer food. If you don’t know what reindeer food is, you’re in for a fun new Christmas tradition! …
I’ve made printable Christmas gift tags before – I think it adds a nice touch to a special gift when you add a pretty tag. I mean, around midnight on Christmas Eve I’m ripping through the $1 Walmart sticky gift tags just like everyone else, but when I have time, I like to make presents …
