Happy 4th of July!

I am so excited about the 4th of July!  Fun in the sun at the beach with my big guy and my little guy- what more could a girl ask for?  How about a fun craft to make to jazz up your doorway and show your 4th of July spirit?  I love these Patriotic Paper Starbursts!  Check out the tutorial from Funky Vintage Lovely.

I can't wait to go to Michael's to buy some fun red, white and blue papers and decorate my front door with one of these!  Happy 4th of July everyone!

We have a winner!!!

Congrats to Amy S.!! She is the winner of the personalized bag tag contest.  Amy chose the fire truck tags for her son- this one is a personal fave for me since the tags shown are on my son's backpack!

How to Honor Dear Ol' Dad

On my web travels this morning I was so excited to come across these two super easy (and yummy!) ways to honor dear ol' dad on Father's Day from The Idea Room.  What dad doesn't love chocolate (or mom for that matter!)?  How about some fun Father's Day Candy Bar Wrapper Printables ?

And I can't get over how fabulous these Father's Day Soda Bottle Covers are!! You can use these with a 6 pack of your  Dad's favorite soft drink (my husband loves Diet Dr. Pepper) and of course have your little one help you color and design them.  Absolutely adorable!!
