Let's Go Fly a Kite


Spring is officially started and what do you think of other than flowers...flying a kite. I found these cool friendship kites at S&S Worldwide. They make great party favors. They are a little pricey but well worth it. Get out and enjoy the spring weather and let's go fly a kite!

Homemade Bathtub Crayons

It has been an really cold winter here in Texas and the snow continues to fall on the first day of Spring. So why not make some homemade bathtub crayons to pass the time. It is easy and fun.

Here is what you will need:
  • 2 cups of ivory snow powder
  • food coloring
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • ice cube tray
In a large bowl, combine the water and ivory soap, add food color until you reach the desired color. Blend well. Add more water if needed. Fill the ice tray with the soap mixture. You may want to use a knife to spread the mixture out. Leave to dry until hardened. Remove the crayons from the tray. Kids can color on the tub, or on themselves during bath time! For a little more fun you can add a few drops of food color to the bath water. We love blue to make the ocean.

Baby Legs


So I received these cute little leg warmers from a friend for my daughters birthday and I love the. I remember wearing leg warmers in the 80' s and thought I was so cool, well now they are back and cuter and cooler than ever. You can find a lot of cute tights, leggings and leg warmers at BabyLegs. Now I am a little sad that winter is almost over.

St. Patrick's Day

Found this cute little rhyming book and thought I would share. Follow this leprechaun family as they march through the St. Patrick's Day parade.


For a fun St. Patty's Day craft you can make this cute kissed blarney stone. Legend has it that anyone who kissed the Blarney Stone of Ireland would be blessed with eloquence. All you need is a rock, white and green paint. A little gold glitter makes it sparkle.

Patent Leather Picture Key Chain

A friend of mine was carrying this cute little patent leather picture key chain and I fell in love with it. What mom doesn't want to carry pictures of their children around with them at all times. I had to know where she found this cute key chain. To my surprise it was from Land's End. The best part about this cute little key chain is the price. It was just $4.99! What a bargain! I ordered several as gifts for my mommy friends.
