As I’m preparing for a little Galentine’s Day party one of my teen girls is hosting tomorrow, I thought how I should share my simple way to make Chocolate Covered Strawberries. I’ve been seeing postings in my area where chocolate covered strawberries are being sold for $4 each. I don’t begrudge these people making money […]

Doritos Valentine Printable
My little man loves Doritos so much. He dressed as a giant bag of Doritos for Halloween last fall. He has an amazing sense of humor, so last fall when one of his classmates said “you eat Doritos so much that you’re going to turn into a Dorito.” He thought that was hilarious and he […]
LEGO Valentine’s Box
My little 1st grader man is SO EXCITED for Valentine’s Day this year. Last night after we made his Valentine’s Box, he wanted us to list out everything that he needed to do to get ready for his party at school. Then he wanted us to check everything off the list. Seriously, this kid gets […]

Valentines Printable “You’re So Fly!” {Airplane Theme}

We sang happy birthday to everyone, ate dinner and birthday cake, played party games, and gave gift bags to everyone. […]
Storing Seasonal Decorations
One thing I’ve learned helping many different types of clients, is that everyone has a different comfort level with clutter. I think this directly relates to the amount of holiday and seasonal decorations you enjoy putting up in your home. I’ve learned my personal comfort level is about one bin of holiday decorations per holiday/season […]
