Toddler Quiet Book Ideas

I made my daughter a quiet book for her second birthday. She is probably on the young side so I tried to make some pages that she could do now and others that were a little more advanced for when she gets older. I was amazed at all of the amazing ideas that people have […]

DIY little duck halloween costume

I’m currently working on my daughter’s Abby Cadabby costume and was reminiscing about her costume from last year. Since she was too little to care much about what she dressed up as, I made her a little duck costume, which is one of her many nicknames. I searched for a while trying to find a […]

Easy tutorial on how to print party downloads and PDFs at an office supply store

When people purchase party printables, I always recommend that they print the files at an office supply store. They will use a laser printer, which is usually better quality than home printers. I also recommend printing on bright white cardstock. Read on for a step by step guide of how to print your party downloads. […]

Did you know you can MAIL SOMEONE AN EASTER EGG? Grab a plastic easter egg and some candy and make someone's day! #11cupcakes #DIY #eastergames #DIYeaster #eastermail #eastercrafts #targetfun

A few years ago when I was living in California I read somewhere that you could mail someone an easter egg. Just the egg- without a box! I thought this was the funniest thing and loved the idea of someone opening their mailbox and finding an easter egg inside. Since I wasn’t going to be able […]

Welcome to northern Minnesota, circa 1995. My Grandpa built me a dollhouse for my 5th birthday, and 30 years later, I gave it back to him. For the first six months of the pandemic I transformed the tiny house into a replica of my grandparent’s house circa 1995, re-creating some of my favorite memories of holidays and summers gathered together as a family at their Minnesota lake home. The remodel started when my family got stuck at my parents during the stay-at-home orders, and when it looked like we would be there a while, I dusted off the old dollhouse to create something new. The original plan was to make it look more modern. Then, I got the idea to make it a miniature version of my favorite place on earth. Although it only stands 3 feet tall, it is full of tiny details and some of my favorite childhood memories. #11cupcakes #artistherapy #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouseminiature #dollhousetherapy #dollhousetour #miniatures #covidprojects #covidproject @mforminiatures

She insisted on dressing up like Reba McEntire, and thanks to her new love of country music I now know all the words to ‘Consider Me Gone’. Happy Halloween from the Queen of Country Music and her dinosaur sidekick. 🎃🎤🦖
