I enjoy April Fools’ Day and a good harmless joke. This year I’ll be playing a 3-part harmless April Fools’ Day prank with brownies on my family. Shhh, don’t tell. This one is a fun April Fool’s Day prank to play on your kids since it ends up with brownies. I saw this Pinterest pin…
Once in a while I find an interesting item to repurpose and this week I came across 2 fish bowls on Freecycle. I grabbed them up, knowing that I wanted one of them to repurpose into a decoration for St. Patrick’s Day. I’ve been wanting to create a center piece that would make my children excited with the…
I grew up in Hawai’i where St. Patrick’s Day isn’t such a big deal. But once I had children, I discovered how fun St. Patrick’s Day crafts and treats can be. This year I used an after Christmas sale find to make these Leprechaun Hat Treat Cups for St. Patrick’s Day. I found these party…

I can’t believe that it’s almost time for 4th of July and 4th of July parties! I’ve been on a big upcycled jar kick lately (graduation on the mind). Since the 4th is almost upon us, I’ve got a super quick (we’re talking 3-4 minutes, tops!) and easy patriotic upcycled jar project for you that’s perfect…
My “baby” just graduated from high school. It’s fun to give a gift in addition to the traditional and much appreciated monetary gift. This is a super easy last-minute graduation gift that starts with a repurposed jar. I’m proud to be a Parade contributor and you can find the complete quick and easy tutorial on Parade. …
Why does Father’s Day always sneak up on me each year? With 3 kids, I have a bunch of excuses (end of the school year, end of the school year, end of the school year) but no good reason. Luckily, I was able to whip up a couple of these adorable quick Father’s Day cards…
