Tooth fairy pillow

Isn't she cute?!  I made this little tooth fairy pillow for my little Lily, who is only barely 5 and has already lost 3 teeth.  Snuck up on the tooth fairy here!

(And this little fairy is leaning up against the tooth fairy pillow MY Mama made me, when I was little!  Awww!  Guess where all my crafty-ness came from? )

I saw this completely adorable idea on Mmm Crafts, and she gives you a free pattern.  Loved it!  It was very simple to make.  I like her's better, but I let Lily pick the colors of buttons, felt skirt, and ribbon.  I would have picked something else, but where's the fun in that? :)

And by the way, don't forget about our giveaway for My Memories Digital Scrapbooking software!

Fun in the Sun..or just FUN!!

The lazy days of summer are in full swing (did I mention LAZY) and my kids and I are all enjoying the idea of not having a schedule to follow and somewhere to be....HA that is such a joke!! Summer has seemed just as busy as the school year with swimming and tennis and this and that. We can hardly wait to go on our summer vacation. Which leads me to today's post. Sand cast hand prints. Now I did this with a couple of my kids several years ago in CA and they really turned out amazingly GREAT!! I was so excited and have them all carefully still packed away in a box with great intentions to do something awesome with them. So here I am a few years later remotivated to make the sand prints with my now 3 kids and I will do something AMAZING with them and then I can share it with all of of YOU!! In the meantime I found a great tutorial on how to make the sand cast hand or foot prints found HERE at Crafting a Green World.

Now, for those of you who want a fun in the sun craft without the sun or the beach here is another option that I am also loving at the moment.

 How cute are those little handprints and no sand involved!! You can find all the dets of this project right HERE at a Pumpkin and a Princess (love that name by the way!) So either way, take a break from the summer madness and capture your your sweet babies hands...either by sand or paint before it's too late!!

4th of July flip flops for little snobby feet

I don't quite have the plan in place to make my kid's 4th of July outfit/tee shirt this year, despite some really cute inspiration, but when I realized I already had the navy flip flops already... Well, it was an over-the-top project that was destined to be!  



I saw the cutest bow on The Girly Baby:

and wanted to recreate it (ish) on the flip flops with ribbon I already had.  But I didn't really know how.  So I just started layering ribbon and bows.  So maybe you know how to make a version of that delectable treat above, but in case you don't, here's what I did:

And, voila!  There you go mes amigas!

Welcome the First Day of Summer in A Snobby Kind of Way

With Summer Officially here I like to have a Summer Kick Off party at our house. Nothing fancy just fun!! (And cross our fingers that the torrential rain we had ALL day on Monday will not resume today)

I think we will definitely hit the pool,run through the sprinklers, eat some otter pops, have a squirt gun fight, eat some more otter pops, take a bike ride. That should bring us to the fun part of the day...THE FIRST NIGHT OF SUMMER and to kick it off I thought it would be super fun to serve my kids these drinks with our outdoor BBQ on the fire pit.

I mean what kid will not think their mom is the coolest thing around when you serve them a glow-in-the-dark drink?? I can't wait!! Thanks to the snobby mommy at ComeTogetherKidsblogspot.com we can all be super cool tonight!
SO WELCOME SUMMER!! And enjoy the looks on your kids faces when you pull out the glow-in-the-dark drinks--and try to hide your own amazement too!!
