Homemade scrubs are popular right now, and I am excited to be able to share my version with you today because it is different than any other version I’ve seen out there. Plus, it smells incredible and it is a great way to get summer and beach ready. This sugar scrub is made from three simple ingredients. It is all natural [...]
Between Mother’s Day and Teacher Appreciation Day, we stay very busy this time of the year creating at our home. So this year I came up with a cute and creative chalkboard vase that would be perfect for either occasion. It is simple to make, provides a lot of room for customization, and it is also inexpensive to create as [...]
I love marshmallows. I love chocolate. And marshmallows dipped in chocolate are absolutely divine in my opinion. It is one of my favorite quick treat,s and if you add a few sprinkles and a pop stick, you get the perfect treat to eat or to give away. These are a really fun and simple treat that we love taking as [...]
One of my favorite items to craft with is Styrofoam. Styrofoam comes in so many shapes and sizes, plus you can cut larger pieces to be in any size or shape you want. It is a lot of fun – a bit messy sometimes, but a lot of fun. I decided to combine a couple of other, unexpected items with [...]
I love crafts that I can do with my kids. First, because it gives us something to do that we all love and enjoy working on. Second, when kids can accomplish tasks like this all by themselves, it gives them a huge boost of confidence. In addition, it can give kids an opportunity to explore their creative side along with [...]
This cold weather is killing me! Yea, yea, I’m originally from Boston, I know I should be used to it. But I spent the last nine years in sunny California. I acclimated to the warmer winters.

The weather has officially gotten frigid, and while it is occasionally fun to go outside and play in the snow with your kids, sometimes, it is simply too cold! During these cold winter months it’s not an easy job to find fun and creative ways to help my two children continue to learn, grow and not drive each other crazy! [...]
I have been on a huge cranberry kick recently! I have been making different kinds of cranberry sauces and relishes and stocking up on cranberries to freeze for later in the year when they are no longer in stores. We also have been eating a lot of salads with Craisens in them. They also are really tasty and even my [...]
This time of year is filled with bustling people, jingle bells, beautifully wrapped packages and, hopefully a little snow! (I am a native Bostonian who spent 9 years in snow-less California … what can I say, I LOVE the snow!) Our to-do lists get longer, our budget gets tighter and by the time we get to the end of the [...]
I have a confession to make; please don’t judge. I love Pottery Barn, I really do – but I don’t always love the price. So when I saw their Halloween line of décor last year, I realized that I could easily make their hanging ghosts at a fraction of the cost! So I set about creating my own version of [...]
