Having worked with kids for all of my adult life, I have celebrated New Years Eve with lots of kid activities and thought I would share a few fun, simple ones here! We plan to count down with the boys around 8, but I have been to many Noon Years events and that is fun […]
We started a tradition last year of making Wrapping Paper prints for presents from us. Lucian loved getting to paint and some of our family members still have their wrapping paper hung up on display at their house! I simply buy inexpensive wrapping paper that is brown paper on the inside, roll it out, and […]
Every year BJ and I start talking about all the places we want to take Brooks to and see before Thanksgiving! This year we started our list and started purchasing tickets earlier than we have in the past to ensure we could get to all the items on our list and not miss out on […]
This project came about after last week’s winter/Christmas projects post, after making the Santa pieces for the Tic Tac Toe game and really loving how those turned out I decided Santa needed a piece of his own so I decided on a puzzle because I LOVE making those and thought this would be a cute […]
