It’s a holiday long weekend where we are.  What’s the holiday?  Family Day.  A day for everyone to stay home from work and spend some extra time with their families.  Sounds nice, doesn’t it? It is.

In thinking about our Family we decided to make a Family Day Craft using Paper Dolls.  You must remember these from when you were a child?  While I loved making them with my Grandma when I was young, I was surprised that I actually needed instructions to complete this task.

So that’s what we did, practiced cutting, gluing and decorating paper dolls.

In the end we had a lovely picture of our family, and we had done just what we were supposed to do, spent some time together as a family.

Enjoy a Family Day, whether its a holiday where you live or not.

We’ve been getting ready for Valentines Day for quite some time Over a month to be exact. We started by getting our printed valentines in order early in January. We then moved to a flurry of crafts to have everything just right for the big day:

• Straight From the Heart Wrapping Paper
• Lovebugs and Flutterbys Valentines
• Love is in the Air mobile
• More Love-ly Crafts painted hearts

We are finally close enough to the big day to crack out the Valentines Day Treats!

What did we make? Rice Krispie treats (made with cocoa krispies and mini M&M’s mixed in), cutout into heart shapes, placed on sucker sticks and dipped in melted chocolate, followed by red sparkly sugar. Enough said?

Here is the visual. Leave a comment if you have any questions!

“Let me just get my stuff for Mexico” was the response when we opened our shipment of Trunkis yesterday and I presented Ruby to my daughter.

I had told her that they were coming, we watched the youtube video of the kids riding them and I let her choose her favorite color.

She quickly grabbed her favorite stuffy and “packed him” for the trip, the trip which will take place in 4 weeks





Ah well, it may be a long four weeks, it may not. She has taken to riding her new trunki in the back entrance of our house (not on my hardwood!). So it just might be a fun four weeks as she has “go kart races” and packs and unpacks all of her stuffed animals.






Either way, she’s going to look darn cute rolling through the airport on Ruby!
