Kid Valentine’s Week: A-maze-ing DIY Valentine’s cards from Rook No. 17

February 3, 2014 1 Comment

I am declaring it to be Kid Valentine’s Week around here.  If you have kids in elementary school, you know you’re going to need to come up with some kid-friendly Valentine’s projects, right?  Whether you need to bring something to a class party or just want a clever idea for class Valentine cards, I’m going […]

Sweet Valentine’s Wreath from Flamingo Toes.

January 31, 2014 Leave a Comment

My friend Bev, who is the smarty pants, creative genius behind Flamingo Toes is always whipping up sweet and whimsical projects.  It’s like she just wakes up each morning and says, “I think I’ll make something adorable while I wait for the water in the tea kettle to boil.”  I don’t know where she finds […]

Adorable DIY Throw Pillows for Valentine’s Day.

January 28, 2014 Leave a Comment

Easy DIY throw pillows

I can sew.  I just usually choose not to.  However, these adorable DIY throw pillows look so fun and easy, it might be enought to get me to break out the sewing machine.  I love that they can be made up for Valentine’s Day, and I also love that they could easily be whipped up […]

How to make a heart shaped cake. (without a heart shaped pan…)

January 24, 2014 Leave a Comment

OK, once I saw it, I wanted to give myself a “could’ve had a V-8” smack to the forehead… but I never knew how to make a heart shaped cake without a heart shaped cake pan.  Not that I have a heart shaped cake pan, mind you, and not that I even make a whole […]

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies for Valentine’s Day

January 22, 2014 Leave a Comment

I don’t believe I’ve ever had a Whoopie Pie.  (Raising 4 boys, Whoopie Cushions I know… Whoopie Pies, not so much.)  I know that is shocking to some of you, but I think it may be more of an East Coast thing.  Growing up in California, I had never even heard of them until a […]

Sweet Marie bars for Valentine’s Day.

January 20, 2014 Leave a Comment

Have you ever heard of a Sweet Marie bar…?   Rice Krispy Treats?  Those I know.   Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups?  Yes, please!  But Sweet Marie bars?  Never heard of them.  Then I saw this: Laura from Pink Cake Plate describes these as when Rice Krispy Treats and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups collide.  I was probably […]

Cute fabric ruffle Valentine’s wreath.

January 17, 2014 Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day tends to be one of those holidays that by the time I think about decorating for it, it’s already upon me and I end up doing little or nothing for it.  (There are also some years where I am still cleaning up Christmas in mid-January and to be honest, I’m out of steam.) […]

10 handmade Valentine Ideas for boys.

January 16, 2014 1 Comment

As the mother of boys, I have always had a bit  of a challenge when it came to finding pre-made Valentine’s Day cards for them to hand out to their classmates during class parties.  There isn’t a huge selection, and when you know every other boy in the class is giving out the Hot Wheels […]

Pottery Barn inspired LOVE wall art. (A knock-off project)

January 15, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love me some Pottery Barn.  However, I don’t love the high prices on some of their items…  Especially on some of the items that I might be able to make myself.  Trish and Bonnie from Uncommon Designs saw a really cute “love” wall art in Pottery Barn’s catalog and decided to make one of […]

Feather Valentine’s Wreath.

January 14, 2014 Leave a Comment

Having  just packed up my Christmas decor, I usually am not too excited to start dragging out more decor for Valentine’s Day.  I usually like a bit of a “breather” before injecting more seasonal decor into my home, but this simple wreath from Bombshell Bling (formerly Craft Quickeies) is perfect.   I love that this […]
