Batman Themed Birthday Party

We recently celebrated my son Rylan’s 5th birthday with a Batman themed party. It was a lot of fun and here is the whole scoop on the party in case you’re looking to throw a Batman party for your child!

DIY Felt Super Hero Mask

I wanted a party favor for my son’s recent Batman birthday party, but didn’t want to spend a ton of money so I decided to make all the kids super hero masks out of felt. They did take quite a bit of time, but they’re still fairly easy to make so as long as [...]

Batman Birthday Cake

Our son Rylan turned 5 on December 27 but we have found what works best for us is celebrating it several weeks later to help spread all the excitement and present opening out.

Thursday Leftovers: Bring the Snow Inside!

Yes, you heard me right! I know most of the time we kick off our boots and make every unsuccessful attempt to keep the snow outside of our houses, but I say…welcome it in!

Ivory Soap Experiment for Kids

Thursday Leftovers: Save Old Sheets for Tent Making

HAVE FUN.

Remember building tents in your house when you were little? Nothing is better than getting to hiding out in a tent all day– especially if it is rainy or cold outside. I loved making tents and having a new space to explore and create in! Tents haven’t lost their appeal now that [...]

Thursday Leftovers: Wash Shoes in Dishwasher

SAVE TIME. SAVE MONEY.

A load of shoes I got at multiple garage sales plus some toys thrown in too

Sneakers. Tennis shoes. Kicks. No matter what term you use, we’re all familiar with shoes and the fact they wear easily and are impossible to keep clean, especially if little boys [...]

SLEEP DOES A BODY GOOD.

I love summertime because there is so much to do and it seems like so much time to do it since it stays light out for so long. It’s so easy to get carried away playing at the park or talking with neighbors that we sometimes have to skip [...]
