Madeline, Delaney and I hurried home from school pick-up today. Madeline and I were on a mission. We had been planning out a fun craft for the last couple of days and tonight we were going to make it happen. We don’t normally craft on school nights. With dance classes, school functions, dinner, homework, reading, and baths school nights blow by us in what feels like an instant. Tonight was special. I had already had dinner cooking in the slow cooker – a thrown together version of my slow cooker hamburger stew – and the

Spring is so close. Can you feel it? We still have to make it through the last bits of snow that are sure to come in March and April in Colorado but spring is kind of in the air. So I have spring holidays and spring sights and sounds on the brain. Rainbows and flowers, Saint Patrick’s Day and Easter, rainy days and warm sunshine. I am so ready! The great thing about spring crafts and spring activities is so many of them work for spring in general and a holiday or two also. The

I love turning cute little kid handprints or footprints into cute little keepsakes. Our Handprint Bats, Fall Handprint Wreaths, Candy Corn Footprint Cards, Ghost Footprint cards and Handprint Four-Leaf Clovers have all been fun ways to record different ages and celebtrate different holidays. Handprint and footprint crafts make perfect gifts for grandparents. I know, all handmade kid crafts make good grandparent gifts but handprints are especially great, because they are especially cute and especially memorable. And now, I’ll stop saying especially. Supplies needed to make “Heart in your Hands” Valentines’s Handprint Cards 1 light colored piece

It’s pretty well documented that crafting plays a large part of the mother daughter bonding ritual around here. Obviously cooking is the other major bonding time activity. Luke generally does all the active bonging things. Bikes, roller blading, playing at the park. I can’t help it I just enjoy other things. Coloring for hours, crafting, cooking, reading piles of books. Don’t get me wrong I have a bike and I know how to use it but if given the choice I’d much rather raid the bookshelf or the craft closet for something to so than

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

Footprint and handprint crafts are not only fun for kids they are fun keepsakes for adults. Ideas for hand and footprint crafts seem to come to me in the fall.

Here is where the idea for cute little candy corn footprints comes in. Now that I have two sets of cute little toes and fingers in my house

Maddy and I headed out to the craft store yesterday with a mission. We were in the mood to craft, or in other words make something cute while also making a big mess. 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
