Twice a month I host a pre teen youth group at my house. We have between 10-15 girls who come and we do kids crafts, learn, play games etc. With Mother's day coming up, we decided to make something the girls could give to their mothers. Don't you just love the pops of color? I have written about these Lifesaver necklaces before. Click over to get the tutorial so you can make your own. They are really great kids crafts because they can do them without any help. Most of the girls are 10 … [Read more...]

My husband's favorite food is breakfast food. He loves a good breakfast casserole. This overnight french toast casserole is one of our favorites. Doesn't that look delicious? It tastes like a cross between French toast and bread pudding. The pecan pralines give it a lovely crunch and are the perfect topping. What I love most about this casserole {besides the taste of course} is that it is a great make ahead meal. You need to put it in the fridge for a while before it is baked. … [Read more...]
I have been wanting to switch out the products in my kitchen for more natural, non-toxic and eco friendly products. So when the honest company wanted to send me some stuff to try, I jumped at it. Aren't they the cutest? There is something about beautiful packaging that makes cleaning less of a chore. Really it does. Can you see the open empty fridge in the background? No, that is not how I keep it everyday. Yesterday my fridge and freezer decided it was time they got emptied and … [Read more...]
I have a great printable invite to share with you guys today. This one was a little special to me. You see, Eden got invited to her first tea party this weekend. She had so much fun. But I think the anticipation was my favorite part. She would tell people I am going to a tea party and I have to wear a pretty pretty dress! She felt so grown up and special. I got the opportunity to design the invitation. I love printable invites. Because you can either send them digitally … [Read more...]
I grew up in Germany. Spent my elementary school years there. When we came back to Utah, everyone was dipping their fries in what they called Fry sauce. Turns out it is a Utah thing. And it is SO YUMMY!! Fry sauce isn't just for fries, it is a great all purpose dipping sauce. Once you make this dipping sauce, you will never go back. It's incredibly versatile and you can't mess it up. The base is just ketchup and mayo mixed together. In a 1 to 1 ratio. You can just stop … [Read more...]
I really love a cute side swept hair style. I have seen this hair style on a lot of celebs and red carpets lately and I liked it. But I wanted to make it kid friendly. I knew with all the running around and fidgeting they do, these curls would never stay over to the side. So I devised a way to keep it over there. Here is what I came up with: It was pretty easy to do and looks great on adults too. But you need to watch the retro curls video first. I used that curling … [Read more...]
Turns out we live 5 mins away from the beach. Who knew? So we went over there and spent some time this weekend. On a tangent, I am a little bit obsessed with making these crochet hats. I love to crochet. It's a non messy craft. I also love that I can be lazy in hair department and throw theses hats on and my girls look cute. It was chilly this weekend. Which meant the water was cold so we didn't stay long. But it was fun to get out and spend some time with my cute girls! I … [Read more...]
