DIY Baby Toy: Soft Blocks
I want to start out by saying to those mamas who think you can’t sew… you CAN! I used to be so intimidated by the sewing machine. Then two years ago I got pregnant with my second daughter, Lilah. After searching and searching for the perfect bedding, my mother-in-law and I decided that we’d make [...]
DIY Crib Rail Guards
I love our crib. It has a ton of sentimental value to me. I slept in that crib and so did my two daughters (with some safety updates of course). So, when we found out that baby number three was another girl, I knew I wanted to use the crib again for her. Now, let [...]
Halloween DIY: TJ’s Top Gun Costume

DIY “I Am Loved” Photo Book
My husband, baby and I moved out from the United States to Germany when our little girl was only three months old. We planned on the move and while I was pregnant my parents and many of our friends living in the U.S. were sad to think that C might not remember them as she [...]
DIY Shape Sorter
At about 15 months old, Danica started to get bored with her ‘baby’ toys. I went on the search for new activities that she would enjoy. We had a play date with a friend and she had made her daughter a DIY shape sorter— Danica absolutely loved it. It is very simple to make, and [...]

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love to dress up and play “fantasy.” Laura and her family had fun with their costumes last year and dressed up as some pretty familiar characters!

Halloween DIY: Annette’s Nacho Libre
I have seen some amazing costumes in my day, but never anything like this Nacho Libre costume. If I ever have a little boy I will be using this one for sure! How did you decide what costume to give G? Well, we were looking for something different and I already knew I wanted to [...]

Looking for a DIY Halloween costume? Families don’t always need to dress the same, and Ashley’s family is a great example of that. They made Halloween a lot of fun last year by making some simple, creative DIYs! With some help, Ashley turned herself and her son into a farmer girl and her sack of potatoes! How [...]
DIY Hand Print Mold
This DIY hand print mold is something I wish I would have thought of sooner. It’s something that would be so neat to do once a year, starting at birth. I find it so fun to be able to physically see just how much your child grows each year. I didn’t think of doing this when my [...]
