Making the Everyday Beautiful
In this post, I will show you how to make your very own Groot Gloves! I am so excited to share this DIY with you because our family loves Groot (especially in his baby form), and this project is an awesome way to have fun and to help your kiddos WANT to keep their gloves…
In observance of National S’mores Day, I am sharing my Golden S’mores Bars recipe with you! I know that lots of people say they love s’mores, but I LOVE S’MORES! I was so bummed this summer when Dairy Queen didn’t bring back their S’mores Blizzard (what gives, DQ?), and I am always the first to…
Don’t let summer sail away before you set sail with your very own milk carton sailboat! This is a fun and easy craft for kids that only requires a few items, and I have a hunch you already have some of them lying around the house! My kiddos love playing outside in their kiddie pool…
I believe in the magic of friendship – do you? If you have been blessed with a wonderful lifelong friend or two, you absolutely know what I mean! I often say of one of my most magical friends (because she is a few years younger than I am and since our families have known each…
If you’re yearning for some yuletide cheer in the middle of your hot summer, check out this frozen hot chocolate! It’s over a hundred degrees here, which is HOT for us, and although we love our hot chocolate, we can’t quite justify adding to the heat with warm drinks, which is where this twist comes…
These frozen banana minion pops are the perfect no-bake treat for summer, and sure to thrill the little minions in your life! My kids have a blast using their minion pops as puppets before chowing down on them, so I am really excited to share them with you! Besides being fun to eat, these minion…
“Minion Up” with these totally awesome No Sew Minion Hats! I loved the first “Despicable Me” movie, which came out before I even had children! Little Agnes melted my heart, and I just wanted to scoop her up and give her a big squeeze (remember, “It’s so fluffy, I’m gonna die!”?!)! Fast forwarding… Today, I…
These Minnie Mouse Balloons are quick, easy, and inexpensive to make and -most importantly- really cute! When planning a party, I try to come up with fabulous-yet-inexpensive decorations. That way, I can spend my money on other things -like party favors and delicious food- instead of overpriced paper goods that just end up in the garbage….
Learn to create your very own Sparkling 3D firework art! The other day, I received my very first “happy mail” box from Craft Project Ideas, and immediately my son started planning all the things he wanted to create! I was so excited that I had to run to the store after putting the kiddos to…
Holidays are my thing (in case you hadn’t noticed), and these patriotic popcorn balls are perfect for the 4th of July! A few years back, my husband told me about how his mother would whip up these marshmallow popcorn balls when he was little as a take-along treat to their favorite fireworks displays! I could…
As the morning sun streams in, the dreams for this day flow through my head (like 4th of July cookies and having fun with my kids)! Admittedly, some of my thoughts are less glamorous (while a clean bathroom is glorious, the process of cultivating one is not). The cookies I hope to bake for my…
I am excited to share that Celebrating With The Bug has received the Liebster Award, courtesy of Courtney at myneisslife.com! Thank you so much for nominating me, Courtney; I never thought blogging would be such demanding work, so a little recognition does this heart good! One element of blogging that I so enjoy is the…
Now that summer has arrived and we are having more and more get-togethers, these barbecue pulled chicken sandwiches are a standby in our home. I love that you can make large quantities of them with relatively little effort, and that you don’t have to turn your kitchen into a furnace since they cook up wonderfully…
There are a few different iterations of Beauty and the Beast cupcakes out there, but I haven’t seen too many that highlight the second title character. I really wanted to come up with something unique and special to enjoy with my son, and from that desire these fun and furry little beasts were born, along…
I think DIY gifts are a wonderful way to show the fathers and grandfathers in our lives how much we love and appreciate them, so here comes my very first Father’s Day DIY Gift Roundup! Most times, I like to pick themes for gifts, pairing a DIY gift, a card, and something store bought together…
