My girls love to dance. These ribbon dancers have added a lot of fun to their dance parties. These are great for birthday parties, dance classes, preschool movement, or just for fun. We even "write" our letters with them in the air. One of the best parts about these ribbon dancers are that they are inexpensive, easy...

Spring is basically here for most of the U.S. We are enjoying our high 70s - low 80s here. I love the spring! It makes me happy for life! I get giddy seeing the little buds on the trees and their progression. I love the sun and love how it brings people outdoors. There is energy again!This year I finally decided to make...

On Sundays, I get to work with our littlest children in the church. In two weeks all the little children and their families will be tuning in to General Conference.

This is my pocket coat. I took a lab coat from a uniform supply store, sewed some pockets onto it, and turned it into something fun. I am the one that usually wears the coat for the activities that we do but anyone can wear it. Here are some ideas of what you can do with it:Spotlight: This is why I made the pocket coat...

I made a batch of them yesterday and they turned out great!I thought I'd share.This recipe comes from Allrecipes.com by Eagle Brand, so you know it's good. (I changed a few things...

Recently I picked up a package of small 2"x3" zipper bags at Wal-Mart in the craft section (100 bags for $1.00). I love them! I love using them for holding snacks for my kids. They are nice and small and fit well in my purse. I was grateful I had them yesterday at the grocery store when my 1-year old began melting down...

Let me take you back to the 80's when Mickey's Mousercise was super awesome! We listened to the songs on vinyl when I was in elementary school. We pushed all the desks out of the way on rainy days and exercised in our classroom with our teacher. If we were really lucky we'd watch it on VHS and follow along.I wish they...

This week's "dating at home" idea is cheap and clean- SOAP CARVING (or sculpting)! Grab a couple bars of Ivory soap and carve (or sculpt) away! You can use any kind of bar soap but Ivory soap is extremely easy to carve than other bar soaps. AND, there's a surprise ending if you decide NOT to keep your masterpieces on...

But, they are out there.My sister makes a great black bean pizza topped with green salad tossed in ranch dressing. I love it! I love ranch with my pizza...

Unfortunately, we spend a lot of time indoors in the winter. It's just too cold! With 2 toddlers, I have to get creative when it comes to playing indoors.Yesterday we added to our art gallery and created a "wall mural." I taped up some butcher paper on the wall and the girls went to town! They loved drawing on the "wall."I...

Playing card games with your toddler can be frustrating. My three-year old loves to play UNO and Go Fish. She's actually pretty good at playing the game but it gets a little tricky trying to hold all those cards in those cute little hands. Here's a quick solution:Take two small party paper plates, cut off the rims and...

I recently flew from L.A. to Boston with my two toddler girls. Hubs was already back at work so I was literally "flying" solo from sea to shining sea. Though the trip was long, I had some things with me that made traveling with kids a whole lot easier. I'm sharing my 5 Must-Haves when traveling with kids:1) Diaper Sacks:...
