Valentine's Day Stuff

As I was looking around for some cute ideas for some "made from the heart" Valentine's for my six year old to make for her classmates I came across this web site for some cool cards, games, and crafts.  I just thought I would pass it on for anyone interested.

So go HERE and check it out.

Shooting for the Stars!

So I have been racking my brain trying to think of something I could do to promote my blog.  Of all the ideas I thought of I kept coming back to how much people LOVE giveaways!  Right?  My thought was "hey offer them something"!  

So here it is...once I have 25 followers I will put all the names in a bowl and let my daughter randomly pick one.  I am not sure yet what the giveaway will be, but I do know that it will likely be something made especially by me, with love!  :-)  

So get your family, your friends...get everyone who loves to read blogs and send them my way.  I'll be waiting...

Homemade Watercolor Paints

If you have a child like my daughter then you know what I mean about those tiny little watercolor sets not lasting past one or two painting sessions.  I found the following blog with this recipe that makes a nice big set of paints with ingredients you have around the house.  So the next time your kids want to paint you can be more than happy to let them paint until they are content!

Thanks to Andrea over at Pie Birds, Buttons and Muddy Puddles for this fantastic idea!

GOAL! Cupcakes

My husband has coached our baby girl's soccer teams since she was just 4 years old.  Which ends up making me the "planner".  This is a great thing, because that's what I like to do.  Anyway, last season I decided to do something I had never done before.  I planned a party at a local indoor kids play place (no biggie), but I also provided homemade cupcakes...not the usual store bought ones.  With a little insight from a good friend who makes designer cakes and cupcakes for a living, I think I did pretty good.  The kids gobbled them up like crazy, I was convinced they tasted as great as they looked!  :-)

Vanilla cake with "green grass" butter cream frosting and sprinkles for fun!
