Heading to Legoland? Make my DIY Lego handbag to bring with you! I made an adult size bag and a child size bag so my daughter Kayla could carry her minifigures while we stayed at Legoland California for the opening of their new Legoland Castle Hotel. These bags are easy to make, look SO CUTE and are probably the most fashionable lego bag you’ll find.
Kayla and I spend a few days during each school break volunteering at our local food pantry. We’ve spent hours sorting through donation bins dropped off by local grocery stores and stocking shelves in the marketplace pantry.
The work is physical and repetitive. There are no pats on the back or words of praise. Which I really like. It’s exactly as acts of kindness should be. Giving with zero expectation of return. Though of course, the return is massive when it comes to lessons in empathy, awareness and action. [Read more…]
I love our mid-century modern home, but it suffers from a serious lack of storage. And the intersection of young kids and lack of storage is called chaos. I found these cute cubbies and immediately fell in love with them. But of course I wanted to add my own twist.

With a few small adjustments I had a modern cubby makeover.
When you’re a parent, there are constant reminders of how imperfect your parenting is. They fly at us in the form of comments from strangers, self-inflicted guilt and even from our own children. No matter how perfect someone else’s life looks, the reality is that we’re all pretty much winging it.
As our family shifts into the mode of having both a preschooler and a budding tween, it feels as though we’re hitting a critical point. One in which I’m supposed to have a heightened sense of everything that is happening in Kayla’s life and also take a step back so she has enough freedom to make her own decisions and learn from her mistakes.

My Harry Potter golden egg bath bombs are perfect for Harry Potter fans who wish they could take a golden egg to the prefects’ bathroom. These golden egg bath bombs are shiny gold and reveal a fizzy bath bomb that moisturizes and leaves you with a touch of gillyweed. After all, those who outsmart dragons deserve a relaxing bath!
Even if all of that did not make sense to you, but you have a friend or child who is a Potterhead (AKA Harry Potter super fan) you can make these for them and they’ll probably be SUPER excited. [Read more…]
Having a Harry Potter party and want a great decoration to set the tone? Make my DIY Harry Potter flying keys. Hung at varying heights, kids and adults seem to go crazy over them. We kept ours and turned them into Harry Potter room decor after our party.
