We have been waiting months for the premiere of the new PBS Kids show Pinkalicious & Peterrific! It is premiering today, February 19, 2018, and we couldn't be more excited. We got a fun box in te mail full of Pinkalicious and Peteriffic stuff, and it inspired us to have some fun! To get ready, we have been having a lot of fun doing things like making pink cupcakes, pink smoothies, painting our nails pink, crafts, activities and more! We wanted to share all of it with you so you can plan your ...

Surprise Ball Panda Bear Craft
I took my family to go see DisneyNature's Born in China last week and we all fell in love with the cute baby animals. The Panda Bears were my daughter's favorite and my son's favorite was Tao Tao the monkey. They really enjoyed the movie so we decided to do a fun craft to remember the pandas. You can read our review of the movie here. In the spirit of Easter, we used a big egg filled with treats and then wrapped crepe paper around it over and over to create the head. Just wrap the c ...
Snowman Crafts for Kids + DIY Stick Snowman Craft
Winter is in full swing and my kids are loving the time they spend playing outside in the snow, especially making snowmen. We thought it would be fun to do some Snowman Crafts so we found a few that we loved. Today we made a Stick Snowman Craft, so I wanted to share that with you as well as some of the other ideas that we found. This was fun and easy to put together. We have a big box of popsicle craft sticks, so we are always looking for ways to use them. We also have a lot of craft ...
Indoor Activities for Kids
My kids love being outside having fun, but there are days that we just need (or have) to stay in and want to have fun things to try. So we made a big list of fun indoor activities for kids and they got so excited. Sometimes I feel like a failure as a mom because I am just like – read a book or play UNO – which is great for a little while, but not for an extended period of time. I forget that unlike myself, they don’t want to spend a whole day reading (looking forward to 30 years from now when I c ...
Pay it forward this Holiday Season #BicMerryMarking
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BIC® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Christmas is a beautiful time of year. So much giving and loving and caring. I wish it were this way all year round. I am really working on teaching my kids the "true" meaning of Christmas - that giving is better than receiving and paying it forward whenever possible is far better than making a list of "wants". We wanted to do a hands on project that would be easy and fun for them to really understand ...
Epson LabelWorks™ Printable Ribbon Kit Review
I love crafting and DIY projects. I have been able to bring them to a whole new level with my Epson LabelWorks™ Printable Ribbon Kit. It prints customized and personalized messages on beautiful ribbons that come in all different colors. The machine itself is packed with different fonts, symbols, and many other features. It comes in a nice carry case that holds the printer, and two label cartridges as well as storage under neath for another cartridge or two. I honestly have been able to find so m ...
Duck Tape Crafts (and our Duck Tape Party)
We recently had my daughter's 10th birthday party and what she wanted was a Duck Tape Party. We were able to pull together some fun Duck Tape Crafts and had a great time! Thanks to Duck Tape, we had almost 20 different designs for the kids to choose from and it made for a lot of fun. We had 10 kids gathered around our table each reaching for different rolls of Duck Tape®. We decided to help them make purses and it was a hit. It didn't take long for up to unwrap all of the different fun ...
Fiskars Duck Edition Scissors + Duck Tape Crafts
We recently celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday and we had a Duck Tape Birthday Party. The girls had a great, fun time making their own Duck Tape Purses and they were so cute. The different designs and patterns were so much fun and the girls chose different colors and patterns to create their unique purses. It was definitely a success! As you may know, cutting Duck Tape or any sticky material can be a real hassle. The adhesive can stick to the blades, not only ruining the scissors, but also ...
