We recently went all DIY and built the boys a huge sandbox, I’ll share the details on that project soon. We were sort of forced into the project because our little turtle sandbox barely fit one boy, definitely not two big-little boys. Of course my boys improvised and started digging in the yard, finding random [...]

I love looking through the Pottery Barn catalog. Who doesn’t long for a beautifully decorated house… that is always spotless! The spotless part will never happen at my house but the awesome decor could – theoretically at least. We live on a budget and save money to splurge on fun trips so I don’t have [...]

Peter and I are getting so DIY crafty it’s insane! This has to be one of my favorite projects so far! It was so easy to convert a crib into a desk. And isn’t it super cute!?! Naturally I was inspired by Pinterest, see the original project over at A Little Learning For Two. Converting Elliot’s baby [...]

We’ve been in our house over 6 years so of course, our master bedroom is still a work in progress. This weekend, we came one step closer to making it complete. Peter created a new headboard for us from cabinet doors and it looks awesome! We actually had a complete bedroom set when we moved [...]

Another year, another family costume theme successfully accomplished! We had a blast dressing up as characters from Peter Pan! The Neverland crew had plenty of Halloween costume choices for a large family. We could have easily had another dozen participants with more mermaids, pirates and lost boys! Peter Pan and the Neverland crew Halloween 2012 [...]

Don’t miss the costume post about the entire Peter Pan Neverland Crew, one of my favorite family Halloween themes to date! I have to admit that Elliot’s Mr. Smee costume is definitely my favorite this year. And in case you aren’t a Disney fan, Mr. Smee is Captain Hook’s side kick from Peter Pan and [...]

Check out my DIY Mr. Smee Hat I really want to be creative but I know my limits. So when it comes to Halloween costumes I’m definitely a semi-homemade type of mom. I will do a store bought costume if I can get a super great deal on it. Lik e Quinn’s Peter Pan costume. [...]

S’mores are one of my favorite desserts, combine that with my background in science and naturally I have been dying to make solar oven s’mores. Solely in the interest of science education of course. During our recent Greer adventure, my boys discovered their own love of s’mores and since I’ve been wanting to do more [...]

As soon as I saw Sara’s post for DIY Backyard Fishing I knew I wanted to make it for the boys. It looked super fun and easy to make with my limited DIY skills. And I always wanted to use a glue gun! Quinn confirmed his interest in fishing for me a few weeks ago [...]

My thrifty treasure of the week? This super cute long sleeve onesie from Old Navy for only $3.97. Since we are easily hitting 80 degrees now though, long sleeves are no longer practical. I just couldn’t pass up on it though. The price was awesome and we are short on onesies for Elliot. Plus finding [...]

We have been struggling with this little guy and nakedness. He has decided that not only are pants optional but diapers are as well. And don’t worry, I will not be sharing a naked Elliot picture on the blog. If only so I don’t embarrass my brother, who seems to get all squeamish with my [...]

Cars are definitely a favorite toy around this house. Quinn has always loved them and they are the first thing Elliot grabs each morning to play with! Cars are cheap and it seems like we have picked up a ton of unique ones over the years including character and holiday themed ones. In fact I [...]
