Mica Mines trail is a great hike for kiddos. It is 2.6 miles, which is on the upper end for my girls, but there is so much to look at, it really keeps them going. This is definitely a carrier only hike, due to the major “steps” down into the canyon. You drop down a … Read moremica mines trail
Big sis has always been into everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. Take it apart, take it all out, stack it together, see how many will fit, etc. So when I saw the idea of a busy board online, I knew I had to make one. I have rearranged it twice now, added more stuff to … Read morebusy board
A whole two days after getting the big yellow slide (aka the play set) all finished, I’d heard “help bring my babies up,” “help with little bear,” “bunny wants to slide too,” and when I wasn’t paying enough attention…”MOM, heeellp pleeeeasse!” Let’s just say, I didn’t prepare for the fact that every single one of … Read morepulley and bucket

In the last place we lived, we had a fireplace with a giant mantle. It was the perfect place to set decorations, but it was in the corner, without any lights. The whole point of putting out decorations is for people to see them, right? I looked at several perforated can lights to buy and … Read moreDIY can lights
Who knew car seats come in car seat shaped boxes that can easily be converted into a cardboard box play kitchen? Not me. I knew the time for a bigger car seat would come sooner or later, but it seems like it just happened overnight. Last month big sis was a few inches from the … Read morebox play kitchen
Hanging baby toys can make any space more fun. At 3 months old, big sis decided she wasn’t going to sleep in her cradle anymore.

An unused gift bag is the perfect budget friendly wall decor. Gift bag art is super simple to make and costs absolutely nothing, if you already have a frame.
