Over the weekend I wanted to grow crystals with Kayla and Blake. We started by twisting pipe cleaners into funky little shapes and growing some basic borax crystals. They were cute and the kids were excited. While cleaning up I started trying to make something of the extra pipe cleaners Blake had twisted into tangled little messes.

Easy Minions Party

Make an easy Minions party that looks great! This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of #HallmarkAtWalgreens

We have a very special birthday coming. Blake is turning three! One of his favorite things to do is walk around making Minion noises and we recently took the whole family to see Despicable Me 3. So it felt all too appropriate to put together a truly easy Minions party.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. When it comes to parties for kids, I don’t believe in spending hours painstakingly creating some Pinterest perfect decor. I try to make things look nice, but it’s all simple and comes together quickly. For kids, it’s about the experience. Do they feel celebrated and loved? What can they get their hands on? Are they allowed to do something that’s out of the norm and therefore extra fun?

MAKE MY DIY MEMORY GAME.  IT’S PERFECT FOR PUPPY DOG PALS LOVERS! THANKS TO DISNEY JUNIOR FOR SPONSORING THIS POST.

This is the time of year when we parents tend to get just a teensy bit desperate to come up with fun activities for our kids. I was thinking of buying Blake a memory matching game and it occurred to me that this was a project simple enough to make my own DIY memory game.

Make my DIY Elena of Avalor party backdrop! It’s an Elena of Avalor inspired floral pegboard that makes the perfect backdrop for your party table. Thanks to Disney Junior for sponsoring this project.

About a year ago, Elena of Avalor quickly made her way into our hearts. I was excited to see a princess who didn’t act like a conventional princess, waiting to be rescued by a prince. Instead, Elena was bold and independent, while also open to constructive criticism and teamwork. A role model that went much deeper than a pretty dress or magical powers.

It’s Fly Season – Hello, Zevo.

July 14, 2017 By Jillian Warner

Zevo is a plug-in flying insect trap. Instead of using chemicals to attract insects, Zevo emits a blue light bio-attractant which attracts insects like flies, moths and mosquitos. Thanks to Zevo for sponsoring this post.

‘Tis the season of doors to the backyard being left open and all sorts of flying and crawling creatures making their way into homes. Just the other night I found Charger sniffing like crazy under our media console. With a flashlight in hand, I searched for discarded toddler food and tennis balls. Nope. Instead, I found a 10 inch long lizard staring straight back at me, perched on a surge protector.

Oh, hello! If you’re like me, it doesn’t matter if you have a screen door. Kayla and Blake are non-stop in and out and apparently I have become my father (just as I thought I had turned into my mother) as I yell across the kitchen to CLOSE THE DOOR! [Read more…]

Printable Fly Swatter Game

July 14, 2017 By Jillian Warner

Want a fun summer activity for your toddler? Make my printable fly swatter game! Maybe it’s just me, but I always feel like there is a lack of decent games out there for kids Blake’s age. Two and not quite mature enough to play a game meant for 4+ year olds. But my printable fly swatter game? It’s great for this funny age. Telling a toddler they can swat things is kind of a big deal! DIY printable fly swatter game - color recognition fly swatter game - fly swatting game from Hello Splendid www.hellosplendid.com [Read more…]
