DIY Mr. Gold Costume

October 10, 2019 By Jillian Warner

Make my DIY Mr. Gold costume to turn yourself or your child into the legendary Mr. Gold LEGO for Halloween. This costume won second place in the LEGOLAND California Brick-or-Treat costume contest but is easy enough for just about anyone to make.

Do you know about Mr. Gold at LEGOLAND? He’s the famous and elusive catch of any LEGO lover. Mr. Gold is a SUPER rare Minifigure who has been further immortalized by becoming a collectible pop badge at LEGOLAND. The only way to get a Mr. Gold badge is to find an employee wearing him and to ask very nicely if they have Mr. Gold.

What’s the best gift for the teen or tween? The gift of choice! Thanks to Happy Cards® for sponsoring this post.

Gifting in this age seems to run the fine line between wanting to give the gift of choice and also wanting to choose something personal. I think the happiest medium is a combination of the two. Enter Happy Cards®. Each gift card gives the freedom to shop, eat and play at a variety of retailers tailored to the recipient. In this case, my recipient was tween-age Kayla.

With school back in session and Kayla entering 5th grade, we’ve recruited her to do a job that goes beyond traditional chores. She’s our in-house Mandarin tutor for Blake, who just began kindergarten at the school she’s attended for the last few years.

Remind your Harry Potter fan to clean their room while giving them a giggle with my free Harry Potter printable! If you have a child that loves Harry Potter then you’ve probably acquired some LEGO Minifigures recently. When we found Dobby, I had the idea to create this Dobby is free printable, reminding her to clean her room.

You might remember that last year I gave a Kayla a modern tween bedroom makeover with a Harry Potter twist. We installed new flooring with Mohawk’s Air.o which was exciting after years of stained carpet. It also forced us (me) to move everything out of her room and do a massive purge of the junk kids seem to accumulate. [Read more…]

DIY Hungry Dino Pencil Case + We Don’t Eat Our Classmates

September 7, 2018 By Jillian Warner

We Don’t Eat Our Classmates is Blake’s favorite new back to school book. Thanks to Disney Book Group for sponsoring this post! #WeDontEatOurClassmates

This week Blake started his final year of preschool. Which means that next year at this time, I’ll be walking him into kindergarten. Cue the tears of a mom thinking about her last baby growing up. The past few months have brought lots of exciting growth in Blake with regards to his speech, his understanding of feelings, and his ability to express them verbally

Now, we’re working on empathy and the concept of treating others as you’d like to be treated. Quite possibly one of the most important lessons our tiny humans can learn. And if that lesson comes packaged as a hilarious book that makes everyone’s laugh lines and nose wrinkles come out, then my work as a parent just got easier. Meet Blake’s new favorite book, We Don’t Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins. [Read more…]

Spring is here! The season of perpetual organizational hope. If you’re like me, it starts with some innocent closet rummaging. Then, internal promises are made to declutter, revamp and live like those minimalist folks on Instagram. You know, the ones moving into Airstreams with their family of six, where the bathroom is basically in the kitchen.

Then comes the reality check and the realization that you do in fact appreciate a wide line of demarcation between kitchen and bath. Yeah, tiny house living probably isn’t for us. Or perhaps you’ve come to terms with the fact that you’re more of a stockist, like me. You want plenty of the essentials and places to keep them on hand. Or you simply never want to find yourself toilet paperless at two a.m. Fair. I’m all about keeping the expectation bar knee high.
