As a Mom of two I get a lot of Parents/Kids magazines that I love to read but just don't have the space for. They always have these great ideas of fun stuff to do or great crafts that kids love but where am I supposed to put all of that information until I can use it? Since my daughter Penelope was born I have kept a folder with all these cute ideas in it because I swear that on day I am going to do all of these fun things with her but now I cant even find the folder and that is why this blog is here. I decided to compile all of the crafts, recipes, holiday ideas and more into one site so I have a one stop place to get all my ideas without having to shuffle through hundreds of pieces of paper. Hope you all enjoy!
