Thanksgiving Tradition: Grateful tree

Every year at home and work, we create a thanksgiving tree. I love seeing what everyone is thankful for. 


Do you have any traditions that your family does?

Another Great Gift Idea!

We do this every year for Christmas.  It's a huge hit and the Grandparents have come to expect it. :-)  I love making these books!


I create my son's book using Shutterfly, but you can create books almost anywhere (Target, Walgreens, CVS).

Great gift idea for any occasion!



I usually struggle with coming up with gift ideas for grandparents. We did this years and years ago with my son (he did a handprint) and everyone compliments the plate hanging on our wall.  And every year, I tell myself to get back to the pottery place and make another plate or platter.

I'm hoping this is the year we get back there. ;-)

This is so disgustingly fun!

What happens when you put Jello inside of straws? JELLO WORMS! You rubber band the straws together. Pour the jello mixture in the straws. The liquid will fill the straws and around the outer straw. Place it in the fridge until it gelled. Pull out the clump of banded straws. Run warm water over the straws for about 5 seconds, and the fabulously disgusting life like worms slide out! So gross but kids will LOVE it!
