Bubbles loves Shopkins and I have to admit that I do too! We love the mystery of what’s in the little blind bags and then matching them up to the guide to find the name and rarity.
She’s been very interested in the advent calendars we’ve seen in stores this year. I had been wanting to try my hand at making a DIY advent calendar so with her newfound interest in them I decided now was the time. Continue reading »
Christmas is less than a month and a half away! Over the weekend we put up our tree, decorated the house, and baked some cookies. We also worked on some reindeer crafts, like a jingle bell reindeer necklace and cute DIY reindeer treat cups that look like Rudolph.
We still have a long list of Christmas crafts that we have planned including some photo ornaments and possibly a DIY advent calendar. But I wanted to share the tutorial for this easy mini clay pot Rudolph craft so you’d have time to pick up the clay pots. Continue reading »
Blue and silver is probably one of my favorite color combinations for Christmas. I mean, I love the traditional green and red, too, but silver and blue just seem so classy. Plus they’re an easy nod to all things winter, so you can extend the use of your decorations for a longer season.
I’ve had some white tiles kicking around in my craft stash that I knew I wanted to turn into coasters. I just wasn’t exactly sure what kind of coasters. Continue reading »

Bubbles hasn’t been feeling very well the past few days. She feels a little bit like she’s missing out on all the Christmas festivities so I decided to put together a couple of fun activities that she could do while sitting. In fact, she really doesn’t even have to get off the couch unless she feels like it. The games I created are easy to play sitting, standing, or on the go.
I chose these two activities for another reason, too. First, Bubbles has been very interested in learning how to spell and read lately so I thought a Christmas word search would be good practice. And second, she loves to match and sort (everything in the house) and chocolate kisses are her favorite treat; I thought it would be fun to combine the two. Continue reading »
This DIY coffee creamer bottle snowman post is sponsored by TapInfluence. All words and opinions are my own.
The other day I was pouring a little of the seasonal International Delight Sugar Cookie coffee creamer into my afternoon coffee, and I heard Bubbles singing in the other room. As the words “Do you want to build a snowman?” drifted my way, I looked down at the coffee creamer bottle in my hand and realized – yes, yes I did. I wanted to build a snowman.
The shape of a plastic coffee creamer bottle lends itself perfectly to being transformed into a snowman. And because after you peel the label off they’re already kind of a milky-white color, there’s not a lot of work that needs to be done. This is literally one of the easiest DIY projects you’ll ever try, but the results are down-right adorable. Continue reading »
