The Art of Homemaking—April Holidays
I like weird holidays. I always have. Even back in college I would make up my own holidays to celebrate with my roommates---and everyone else who lived around us. Some of them were happy like "Peg Your Pants Day", "Hooray for Cheese Day" and "MC Hammer Appreciation Day" and then others of them were.... just, well, just like "Poke Someone in the Eye Day" and "Hug a Sasquatch Day". I like having something to celebrate and something to make each say special and different (and like Simon says I ... View the Post
Two Easy Valentines.
I have two easy and last minute valentines if you still need some in time for Thursday. I am usually a last minute girl myself, but this year I had a seven-year-old who was UBER-excited to make her valentines so we did ours this last weekend. For our girl Valentine, we found these cute felt hearts at Hobby Lobby and used glue dots to put them on jumbo paperclips to make cute felt bookmarks for her classmates. It was an easy project and Hannie could do the whole thing herself--which she was ... View the Post
Broken Heart Letter Matching Game
This is one of the games that Gracie will be playing this week at preschool. It's simple, just put the broken hearts back together again matching the lower and upper case letters.

(You can download them from HERE, HERE, and HERE---They are in 3 different places because there are 3 different sheets) Then cut them out. (Cut INSIDE the line of the heart so you won't see the template line once your heart is ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: In Search of the Ultimate Sugar Cookie
(You don't mind a picture of kid-decorated cookies do you? Although I think they did a better job that I can...) My art of homemaking this last month has been the search for the ultimate sugar cookie. It all started when I made a batch of sugar cookies before Christmas and they just weren't very good. They were so dry and just tasteless. From there I decided that I wanted to find a great (not just good) sugar cookie recipe in time for Valentine's Day. It took three tries (and a lot of ...

Watermelon Sorbet
I have to tell you that this is one of my absolute favorite treats in the afternoon. When it is hot and I give the kids a popsicle, this is my go-to snack for myself.....and it is so worth it. No added sugar (I sometimes do if the watermelon isn't super sweet), but it's really just frozen watermelon, a bit of water and lime juice, blended to such a smooth and delicious taste. I learned to make watermelon icecream when I was living in the Algarve in Southern Portugal. We had it for dinner one ... View the Post
