I'm definitely putting this idea on the "to-do list" for this Father's Day - which is why I'm so happy Kaley is here with us sharing lots of creative tips and clever ideas for getting it done right. Father's Day is this weekend (seriously, how is it June already?) and we have a fun … [Read more...]

3 New Approaches to The Easter Egg
Happy hump day friends. Do you all have big Easter plans for this weekend? We're actually double booked - which I'm bummed about. Friends of ours are hosting a hunt in their backyard and the idea of all our littles running around together sounds so fun. But our annual tradition is to head home for an organized egg hunt with both sets of grandparents - anything else just wouldn't be Easter. (Plus the Easter bunny himself makes an appearance, which the kids love). So we'll be piling in the … [Read more...]
Watercolor Eggs: For a More Creative Dyeing Experience
Hope everyone had a good St. Paddy's Day, now it's time for Easter - it's so early this year! Kaley's here sharing an awesome idea on how to make egg dying more fun for the littles. I'll definitely be trying this with S and C for Easter. In fact, boiled eggs have become a daily snack around here ever since New Year, New Rules so this might become a regular art activity for us. QUESTION OF THE DAY Speaking of Easter - how do you all hunt? Do you prefer a small backyard gathering or do you … [Read more...]
Make It: St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Treasure Box
Surprise! You're getting a twofer today. Since our Midweek Musing is a little light (What can I say? I just wasn't in the mood to go heavy), I wanted to also stop in and quickly share this fun St. Paddy's Day activity I put together for eHow. Sensory boxes are nothing new around here, and the rainbow variety has long been a classic. But what makes this version special is what can be found at the bottom of the rainbow - shamrocks and leprechaun gold, of course. Pop over here for all the … [Read more...]
Valentine Keepsake: Simple Memory Garland
Last Friday I sent out a quick social media poll on how I should celebrate V-Day with my littles.

With that in mind, I think you're all going to want to jump right into Alli's Valentine's Day project with your own kiddos - like, immediately. Happy Valentine's Day!

Candy-Free Valentine: Cleaning Baskets the Whole Family Will Love
You know what's great about having toddlers around? They actually want to clean! It's a treat to them. So much so that I'm giving my littles cleaning baskets for Valentine's Day because I know they'll adore them - not because the net result will be a cleaner home for me (that's just a bonus). Actually, I already gave my tots a sneak peak of the goods so I could show you how much they loved their new kits... Love them they did and I'm positive your kids will feel the same. Unless they've … [Read more...]

Make It: Pretty Science Snow Balls
We're taking a little break from Project Organize Your ENTIRE Life today and highlighting an intriguing winter science decor project (I think I may have invented a new category of project with that one). Because the whole point of organizing and simplifying is to have more time to connect with the kids, right? Take it away Jen... As much as I love January and the fresh beginnings that come with a new year, I'm always a bit sad to watch the Christmas decorations make their way back to … [Read more...]
