Happy almost Valentine’s Day! I wanted to quickly share the Kinetic Sand Valentine’s Day Favors I put together for E’s preschool classroom. There are only 11 kids in her room, including her, so I actually have the time and can afford to do something a little extra. Plus, I like the idea of giving the little…

DIY Valentine’s Goodie Bag
Today I am sharing with you a DIY Valentine’s Goodie Bag that I made for each of my girls. I have had this idea in my head for quite some time now. I wanted a special bag to hold the girls’ treats and gifts, but didn’t want to spend a crazy amount of money. I…

Easy Sew Valentine’s Kitty (Made From Recycled Sweats!)
We all have them: Those cozy sweats that––thanks to years of washing and wearing––are a bit on the short and worn side. Oh, but they feel so nice. Comfy and soft, exactly as loungewear should be. (Now that I’m typing this, I’m wondering if this is just me. I hope not…) Today’s project may be…
Make it with Love: Jam Filled Heart-Shaped Scones
It seems that Valentine’s Day gives us an excuse to take everything we love and make it heart-shaped. Whether it’s a note or a lollipop, if it’s shaped in a heart, we know it’s extra special. These jam-filled scones are special indeed, and not only because they’ve met the heart-shaped cookie cutter. Jam and blueberries…
Weekend Project: Simple Valentine’s Day Paper Heart Garland
After THE holidays my house always feels so bare, almost sad. The decor has been taken down, the tree thrown out, the gifts have been unwrapped and put away. Just like that, my house is empty. Thankfully Valentine’s Day isn’t far behind, giving us an excuse to brighten mantels and tables with shades of pink and…
Weekend Project: Sew an Apron (the lazy way!)
It’s true that an apron doesn’t need to be fashionable to be functional, but we sure love when it can be both!
