Patriotic Ice Cream Sandwiches I love these small ice cream sandwiches for the kids! They aren't full of sugar and are the perfect size for a little mid-afternoon treat. Add on some of these patriotic sprinkles and you've got an easy, festive, and tasty treat! Fruit Skewers Cut up some pieces of watermelon and strawberries. [...]

What They Wore: Fourth of July
With our lives starting to feel a little bit more normal, I've been able to get back to the blog! After a very long couple months, we are finally moving into the new house next week... but more on that can be found in this post. To kick off one of my favorite holidays, I [...]
Fourth of July Sensory Bin
Happy (almost) Fourth of July! This happens to be one of my favorite holidays to celebrate, and I'm super excited about this Sensory Bin because the kids actually picked everything that got added to it! We made a quick Target run a few days ago and I let the kids grab whatever patriotic and festive [...]
Rainbow Rice
Earth Day is tomorrow and to celebrate we'll be putting together a fun Earth Day themed sensory bin! Before I get all the info for the bin put together (we are mid-move so bare with me in these next few weeks), I thought I'd post the recipe for the Rainbow Rice that we are going [...]
Letter From the Easter Bunny
Oliver has hit the age where he's starting to understand the stories around characters like Santa and the Easter Bunny. This year we will be spending Easter up at the lake so we left a note at our house for the Bunny so he'll be able to find us up there. Oliver is so excited [...]
Carrot Feet Art Project
Oliver has a weird thing about his feet. Anytime we have a sensory bin out he always tries to put his feet in it. When he's outside, he never keeps his shoes on. Puddles? He's splashing around in them barefoot. I'm not entirely sure why he loves it but he does! So when we started [...]
Cotton Ball Easter Bunny
This project is by far one of the cutest things I've ever seen for Easter. I saw a version of it a few years ago when Oliver was a few months old and I wanted to do a little something for AJ and the grandparents to celebrate Oliver's first Easter! With the kids being a [...]
Leprechaun Shenanigans
A few days ago we read How to Catch a Leprechaun (find a copy on Amazon here) and Oliver has been on a mission to catch one ever since! So yesterday we sat down and built our very own leprechaun trap (find our DIY Leprechaun Traps here). Oliver was convinced that since we added some [...]
DIY Leprechaun Traps
Oliver has been loving learning all about Leprechauns the past few weeks so naturally we had to make Leprechaun traps! We were inspired by How to Catch a Leprechaun but since the traps in that book are a little advanced for Mom to put together, we opted for an old shoe box and lots of [...]
What They Wore
We are back with another roundup of the kids festive holiday outfits! St. Patrick's Day attire is pretty straight forward. Anything that's green, has a shamrock, rainbow, leprechaun, or says "lucky" is fair game! It's a fun holiday to dress up for whether you're a toddler or a grown-up. Target, Old Navy, Carter's, and Amazon [...]
