I wanted to help with my son’s kindergarten Halloween party- but the food was covered. So we ran to the dollar store (which, by the way, is pretty cleaned out at this point!) and picked up the last of the Halloween stuff, threw them in these cute goody bags they had, and for the finishing touch I wanted to add their names. If you are putting together goody bags for a class party, family get together, or trick or treat-ers these are simple but add a nice touch. (If you are wondering what I put IN the goody bags: candy corn, glow sticks, fake spiders, skeleton rings & halloween eraser, more ideas here).… Read the rest

Primary Board Meeting Invitation

10 / 21 / 1510 / 22 / 15

Hello, Hello! So it’s October. And every time someone mentions something about the year “drawing to a close” or “Christmas is X number of days away” I feel my pulse quicken and I start to perspire. (TMI??) I’m trying my very best to enjoy this lovely time of year- I’m a native New Englander by-golly. This is “our” time of year! There is just so much to be done!

Among those things is our annual Primary Board In-Service. *groan* That’s right, “in-service” and “fun” really just don’t go together do they? So we have come to call them “Ladies Night In” around here. … Read the rest

Transformer Party Favors

10 / 18 / 1510 / 18 / 15

My cute niece is turning 6 and can you believe SHE requested a Transformer party? How cool is that? Needless to say she gets along splendidly with my boys. We were able to get more use out of the Rescue Bots Cupcake Toppers, and this time I made some party favors to add to the Rescue Bot/Transfomer collection on the blog.

After over-hearing every episode of Rescue Bots several times i’m pretty well versed on the subject of transfomers. So I got the idea of sending the kids home with “energon crystals”. I really wanted to find rock candy, but had to make do with what I could find at walmart so I settled for ring pops. … Read the rest

Second Turns 4!

10 / 10 / 15

One of our “must-do” events to celebrate every birthday in our family is a photoshoot! I’m kinda a wanna-be photographer (I go by the rule of the 100s….for every 100 photos I take there is one good one) and I love capturing exactly the way they look at each age. Let’s be real, it never happens ON their birthday. But I try really hard to make sure it happens sometime during their birthday month.

We were finally able to do Second’s photoshoot last weekend. Handsome Hubby gave me a “oh boy whachu got going on in that brain of yours” look when I asked him if he would go make a mud pit for me. … Read the rest

Halloween “Boo” Banner

10 / 9 / 159 / 22 / 17

I know any self-respecting blogger had all of their Halloween stuff posted on like… July 5th? Call me old-fashioned, I don’t think too much about Halloween until October 1. Well, I guess that is not totally true, we think about costumes all year (what 6 and 4 year old don’t?), but no Halloween decorations allowed until October 1.

We have a board hanging in our entry way that I like to change up with the seasons and holidays throughout the year. It was originally intended to be up just for Christmas time to hold all of our Christmas cards. But then I liked it so much I decided to keep it up. … Read the rest
