This garland takes a little time, but it’s really easy. You can do it while watching TV or something. Here is the tutorial: click here.

Miniature Fabric Flower Garland
Thursday, May 13th, 2010Mother’s Day Gifts
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010Lately I have been looking into my family history and it has been so interesting. Some of my ancestors were absolutely fearless and very inspiring. So…I decided to make my mom and my mother-in-law these little pictures that represent their mothers as far back as our family history records show. I framed them and on the back of the frames I attached their full names, birth dates and death dates. Kinda fun. Mother’s Day was so fun. Hope you all had a nice one!

Easter Fun
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
(click on any image to view larger) Easter is such a fun time. I love all of the egg coloring, fun candy, egg hunts and decorations. Most of all though, I’m so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, whose resurrection we celebrate on this day. I’m so very, very grateful for Him.
Vinegar Volcanoes
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
My kids love doing this. You will need:
*a cookie sheet with sides (to catch the excess liquid and foam from the volcanoes)
*food coloring (if you want to color the volcanoes)
*baking soda
*vinegar
*canning jars or glasses
*teaspoon
Place glasses or canning jars on cookie sheet. Add about 1/3 cup of vinegar to each glass. Add a drop of food coloring to each glass. Then let your child spoon in the baking soda. You can add more vinegar and baking soda after each volcano settles down to make it active again.

It’s Just Another Mustache Monday…
Monday, March 15th, 2010
(Title of this post is to be sung to the tune of The Bangles’ Manic Monday.) So we tried black face paint this time instead of eyeliner when we sneakily painted mustaches on our kids in the middle of the night. They woke up with their mustaches a bit smudged! SO funny. I found these wax mustaches to put in their lunches today. I hope the ones at school enjoy finding them in their lunches as much as the ones who were at home did! You can view the pictures from our last “Mustache Monday” here.
Rainbow Snack

For an after-school snack the other day, I decided to make little rainbows out of fruit with small bowls of cream cheese and marshmallow creme for dipping. They were eaten right up!
