Teacher appreciation week took place in Madeline’s school not too long ago. Maddy and I started brainstorming ideas one day and came up with an idea we loved. A few quick stops at a few stores and we were in business. We used a small basket, a piece of red gingham fabric, red and white paper, and a small piece of wire to attach the sign to the basket. Madeline was in charge of putting the gift together. After all, she benefits from her teachers awesomeness every single day. I just love Madeline’s handwriting. She’s

Last Easter, when Madeline was four, we decided to blend both sides of the family together and try our hand at having one Easter egg hunt. In the past she had always ended up with multiple egg hunts. One with the side of the family, one with that side, maybe a community egg hunt and maybe one at home with mom and dad. It was just too much. So we simplified and hosted Easter at our house. Luke and I also decided to nix candy loaded Easter eggs. After some thinking we decided to extend

We are like every other family at this time of the year. Busy. Busy, busy. busy. November and December fly by and it seems that most of our ideas for holiday traditions for our little family never get started. Next year I say. Next year I will plan ahead and make sure we do that, see this, make these and have those. And so on and so forth. Finally this year I got it together enough to plan out a month-long tradition. Well, really it just might be multiple traditions rolled into one. With the

While wandering the aisles looking for something fun to do we came across the Easter merchandise. In an attempt to be a cool mom I let Maddy have a few minutes to check it all out. Standing there looking at the baskets with her I noticed a basket that looked like a bunny head. You know, the face and ears and such

So you offered, or were asked, to throw a baby shower. Now what? We’ve all been to dozens of baby showers before we know the drill so it shouldn’t be too hard to plan one right? But what about all the waste involved with showers? Paper plates and napkins, plastic utensils and cups, streamers and latex balloons and the wrapping paper. All that cute pink and blue stuff in the aisles of the party store are throw away items that just fill up landfills and waste your money. Wouldn’t you rather spend your hard earned

We’ve all been to a baby shower before… if not dozens of them. Baby gifts are adorable, but lets be honest watching the mom-to-be open a zillion onsies and rattles for 3 hours straight can be a bit repetitive to say the least. I have a solution. Shake up the gift opening at the next shower you attend by giving a unique, adorable and memorable baby gift. Give a baby bouquet made up of adorable baby items. Best of all give an individualized baby bouquet you made yourself instead paying a bunch of money for
