I have been babysitting a little girl for the past few days. The first day she arrived I realized we don’t have very many girl toys so I decided to make some noodle necklaces. This is a fun activity for boys and girls and it is so easy to do. I only had one shape...
I would love to raise grateful children and I’m trying everyday to do so. Sometimes this can be a tricky thing because toddlers think the world revolves around them. I found a pretty good article on ways to teach your child gratitude. Here is part of it. I fall short on many of these, but...
Hello there! My name is Melissa. I am a stay-at-home mom to three wonderful kids: witty, tenderhearted Jordan (5); mischievous, cuddly Sam (3); and serious, mama’s girl Hannah (8 months). I spend most of my day cleaning the house, doing laundry and chasing the kiddos around. They keep me pretty busy. We love...

These are actually good any time, but with the beautiful green mint chips they looks so festive on Christmas. I suppose you could make these on St. Patrick’s day as well. This recipe came from...

I had to get pretty creative for that party because nobody sells blimp party decorations. Nobody. I made him a blimp piñata because I was having a hard...

I bought some new colored jeans at Maurices the other day and loved them so much I went back and bought another color. They are so comfortable and the colors are so cute. I bought a pink pair and mint green pair. They are $29, buy them here.
