Creating personalized gift wrap in one thing my daughter loves to do. I wrap the gifts in plain brown craft paper and then let her have at it with markers, stickers - anything she wants! Well, why should she have all the fun, right? Now, I have never been know for my own gift wrapping skills, but lately I have been a bit obsessed with changing that reputation - and what better way to do that than to let my imagination and creativity run wild, like my daughter does! I get to cut and punch and glitter and tape to my hearts content. Oh, and I get to go shopping not only for the gift but for fresh crafting supplies, like Scotch® Brand products.

It's a S'mores Summer: How to Create a S'mores Bar

I believe S'mores are a little taste of heaven on earth! Having a S'more takes me back to camping with my girl scout troop, warm summer nights at the lake with my family, and roaring beach bonfires with friends. In fact we moved from the coast of California one year ago, and my last night in our sleepy beach town we attended a bonfire, surrounded by friends and making S'mores! It was an amazing memory to leave on, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Every night we have a Disney FROZEN sing-a-long in this house.

My daughter is dancing and singing, I am cooking and singing...

and even my son is (quietly) singing along to FROZEN as he does his homework.

I love that this sweet movie, its characters, and its music has found a place in our home.

So, are we excited for FROZEN the Movie to be released on DVD on March 18?

Um, yeah...you could say that! Beyond excited!

In fact we already have a small party planned for after school on Tuesday!

Kid's Monogram Canvas Art: Making Colorful Magic with Crayola

As a child, coloring was my favorite activity. My parents knew how to make me happy - bring me a nice big box of Crayola Crayons! The first thing I did every-single-time I got new crayons was to organize them all by color. I still remember how excited that made me.
