Chicka Chicka Boom Boom ABC Kid's Craft is a fun way to bring the book to life. Kids will love making this and reading the book together. I LOVE Children's books. I collect them and get excited about buying them just like most ladies feel about shoes. It's had to feel guily about buying them.

Grandma’s Camp Book
Chances are our grandma is more fun than your grandma! Okay, she's not my grandma, but she is my mom, which makes my boys super lucky because she is their grandma. A few years ago she started Grandma's Camp, and it is now the most talked about--most anticipated event of summer (I think after this year she's starting to wonder what she's got herself into!)

Come and see us sometime! One thing you will notice about me on the blog is that I love to make skirts. They are one … [Read more...] about The Circle Wrap Skirt:: Elizabeth from Simple Simon & Co Guest Post
Tea Party decorations {vintage garden theme}
Last week I shared my simple little DIY Cupcake Stand that I made for a mother-daughter tea party fundraiser for my daughter's dance studio. Today I'm sharing a few other little details from the party, per some requests. :) Each table at the party was decorated by the moms, with a centerpiece and small gifts for the dancers. I did a table with two of my good friends and all of our daughters, which was a lot of fun. Our theme was sort of a vintage garden theme, with paper and fabric flowers, and … [Read more...] about Tea Party decorations {vintage garden theme}
