Growing up in Hawai’i, we didn’t really celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It wasn’t a big deal like it is in some places on the Mainland. And I’ve never really celebrated it with my kids. But this year, I plan on surprising them (mama’s gotta get a surprise in when sheKeep Reading…

Dr. Seuss Day, also known as Read Across America Day, is usually on March 2nd, which is Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Many schools have students dress up as favorite literary characters. If you need Dr. Seuss dress up ideas for school this year, I’m sharing three Dr. Seuss character costumes and a Skippyjon Jones costume idea thatKeep Reading…

These are quick, easy and adorable. The perfect little gift to let friends know you’re thinking of them.And they’d beKeep Reading…

Valentine’s Day should be a day that you surprise your friends with a gift. Remember the excitement of getting Valentine’s cards from your friends and classmates in elementary school? I think we should still share that excitement with our friends now that we’re just a little older. Giving a cuddly repurposed sweater pillow is theKeep Reading…

It’s that sad time of year when it’s time to put away all the treasured Christmas decorations for another year. As much fun as I have putting up decorations, putting them away is more important to me. Since we don’t always know when the Air Force will be moving us again, I need to carefullyKeep Reading…

I’ve been repurposing last year’s Christmas cards for years now. With a quick cutting and punching you can turn old Christmas cards into new gorgeous gift tags. My friend M. gave me the cards on the right that she “inherited” from an older family member. I purchased the box of cards on the right atKeep Reading…

My son came home after a kindergarten Christmas program with an adorable decorated sweatshirt that he’d never wear again. How is it that I didn’t take a picture of him in the sweatshirt? What a distracted Mom! Poor third child. Neither of us were ready to just toss or donate the sweatshirt, but I could seeKeep Reading…

My friend K. celebrates Hanukkah. She was telling me last week that she gives her children gifts in envelopes for Hanukkah. I celebrate Christmas. I thought I’d whip up a Christmas gift for her that she can use in her family’s celebration of Hanukkah. I just had to make sure to get it done inKeep Reading…

I have the same problem every Christmas. I put receipts for gifts in the perfect spot so I won’t misplace them and then some how I do misplace just the one I need later to make a return. It’s an embarrassing confession since I like to think I’m pretty organized. This year in less thanKeep Reading…

Every Christmas morning for as long as I can remember among all the excitement and happiness of opening gifts, I’ve felt terrible about the big trash bag of wrapping paper and ribbon that we tossed out. About 12 years ago I started making cloth gift bags to use during the holidays. They’re VERY easy to makeKeep Reading…
