Make a Monster: Tips to make Play-Doh MORE FUN

I’ve always been a big fan of Play-doh (or playdough), ever since my oldest were babies. Play-doh has provided my kids countless hours of entertainment over the years. I have a few tips for changing things up and making playdough time more fun. First of all, this just needs to be said: the mess is […]

Little Boy Bedroom Tour

Today I’ll be sharing my only boy bedroom tour. Brian is 7 years old and extremely strong-willed. If you think I placed things “just so” for these pictures, you’ll see the truth in the video. Important: I did NOT clean, organize, or tweak this bedroom at all before taking the video and photos of any of […]

The first kids’ bedroom tour in our new home begins with Izzy’s room. Izzy is 12.5, still a tween but almost a teenager.

Trigger Warning: Crying Babies in the Grocery Store

My city has a pretty popular Facebook group. It is as eclectic as you’d think for a small town in Texas. Mostly a lot of lost pets and questions about what dentist or doctor or plumber to use, but then you have the pot-stirrers. I mean, who doesn’t like to have rude thoughts and opinions […]

Planner 0, 4 Year Old 1

This isn’t the first time my planner has come in handy for non-planning purposes. Carting around an active 4-year-old boy for all the errands necessary to get his sisters ready for school required a lot of patience for both him and I. He just wants to be home playing (I want to be home too!), […]

A Packing List Just For Kids

This idea might be one of my favorites of all time. Why? Because it came completely from the rest of my family, I just had the privilege of benefitting from it. While Matt and I were packing for our vacation last week, we were telling our girls what to put in their suitcases and they were packing themselves. […]

Keep A Travel Bucket Ready!

Last year I developed The Kids Travel Bucket. Right now it is on the top shelf of my coat closet, ready to be pulled out at a moment’s notice. Not only is it handy during long, cross-country road trips. It is super handy for weekend day-trips as well. Plus, it is really easy to put together. What you’ll need: -a […]
