Idea #1 A WEEKS WORTH OF DECORATED LUNCH BAGS! The Mother Huddle had this adorable idea posted the other day.  I thought it was FABULOUS.  Something that was inexpensive, but very cute and meaningful.  And I already had all that we needed to make them!  Kevin takes his lunch to work everyday so this is perfect….Read More

The kiddos and I made this for my dad for his birthday a few months ago. I’ve had the idea floating around my head for while. I saw it somewhere, but for the life of me I can’t remember where. A blog, a magazine – no idea – or I would give credit. But, I…Read More
