{family fun} The sky is the limit!

When you became a parent, did you really think about what kind of parent you would be? I'm sure at some point you told yourself that you were going to be the "cool parent". That you would let your kids do all the things you wished your parents had let you do, because YOU knooooow it would have all turned out OK if they had let you do all those...

{family fun} being prepared for all the fun!

Who is ready for all the fun to be had with your kiddos this summer? Whether they are little punks like ours at 2, 3 and 4 years old....or are a bit older, summer is a great time with LOADS of things to do as a family. The hard part to summer is juggling being prepared for all those activities. Thankfully, with a little bit of planning, there isn't much...

{family fun} super cute sarah & abraham placemats

Since the moment these placemats arrived I've been DYING to share them with you. But I was holding firm to the Valentine surprise for the girls. Then it occurred to me that I COULD share them, because my little girls may be proficient on an iPad, but they sure don't read this blog yet!!! How amazing are these!?!? I may be biased since they show my own little family, but...

{family fun} photo booth fun!

Normally this post would have fallen under {home & garden} for parties, however, I happen to think this would be fun to do even for a play date or weekend activity, or even a family photo shoot. So I decided to post it in {family fun}. One of the activities I chose to do at the girls Three Ring Circus Birthday last year was a Photo Booth. I checked into...

{family fun} what do you want to be??

Who do you want to be when you grow up?? I love the stage the girls are at right now. It is just one big playtime of imaginary fun! And these costume sets by Melissa & Doug are AWESOME! All three girls received them from my very "in the know mom" sister. The girls had played with some on a visit to their cousins last fall, and the kids were...

{family fun} $1 hair bows!!! (yep you read that right…)

This is not the post I had planned for today. But as luck would have it, I forgot my camera that I kinda needed to take the photos to go with the planned (and written) post. Ugh. But all is OK, because I'll get that one up later Thursday, and can post instead about some girlie hair bows that I've mean meaning to share with your for months! I have...

{family fun} monkey preschool ~ fave kids apps

I'm amazed at how great kids games are these days. I remember spending road trips getting to play Donkey Kong Jr for hours, but I'm pretty sure it didn't teach me anything other then jumping over a barrel. But NOW, my 2 year old can put puzzles together. My 1 year learns words on flash cards, and my 3 year is taking care of a fish tank. They do a...

{familiy activities} art project with a pot luck tip

I know people think I'm being super creative sometimes, but the reality is, I'm selfish. Selfish and juggling kids most of the time. So a lot of the time when I'm asked to help out with something or to contribute to an event, I usually try to think of something that would be helpful to ME. See SELFISH?! OK, but there IS a reason for it. I usually find that...

{family fun} halloween fun!

I have an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G baby sister (can I say "baby" sister when we are in our 30s??) Anywhoo, she is. I could go on for days as to why I think she is one of the best and most talented human beings on this planet. For now, I'm just going to point you to her Pinterest page (hair, fashion, design, party ideas, food, etc). Have you heard of Pinterest?? Oh...

{family fun} favorite bag for traveling (& giveaway!)

{This giveaway is now closed. Winner was notified via email. Congrats #38 Kelly S.!} It's no secret that I love Halsea. The clutches, the tote bags, the luggage....well, pretty much anything Halsea makes me happy. Why do I love it so, you ask? Because it WORKS. Because it DOES what it's SUPPOSED to do. Because it LOOKS GOOD doing it. Again, because it WORKS! Here's an example. I've had this...
