Throwing it back to 2016 when I transformed the boys into U.K.'s great British export, the Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennent and Chris Lowe at the Super tour.

diy pineapple costume

easy and cheap diy pineapple costume

This was seriously the easiest costume I've ever made.  I didn't spend one penny.  And I didn't need to take ten trips to Michael's.  I had all the supplies at home: grocery bag, construction paper, and a headband.

diy ramen costume + green tea hat

diy ramen noodle costume for halloween

Last year a monstrous child size AT-AT, a.k.a Imperial Walker came trick-or-treating at our door step on all fours. And I went, "WHAT THAAA!!!!" I was in awe and envy that this mommy neighbor could attempt such greatness.  Yes, I had a mommy crush for a while.  But it was this kind of inspiration I needed to create my own version of a mini WHAT THAAA!!! in my diy ramen costume.

You have a PIZZA my heart, Valentine! Corny or clever? I love puns and all the different ways you can incorporate little cute snacks or foods into a catch phrase.

Heroic trio

no sew kids super hero costumes

It's the last week of school with just a birthday party to go.  Presley's friend's Deacon and Sean we're having a combined super hero birthday party.  Once again, I had absolutely all this energy and free time because raising three kids is such a cinch especially while the school year is wrapping up when there is nothing going on...right!!??

diy mini starbucks hat

DIY mini starbucks hat

After years of seeing creative moms craft on Crazy Hat Day, I feel proud to stand beside them in honor of Portia's last year of preschool.  I wasn't going to make the same excuse again that "I didn't have/make time".  Her mini Starbucks hat was really easy to make and if I can pull it off during our morning rush of making lunches, toasting bread, and packing backpacks anyone can! 

Portia calls her drink "Mochaccino Frappiccino"!

diy heart cork coasters

diy painted heart cork coasters

I love anything that's custom-made or personalized.  It always feels special in a "had you in mind" kind of way.  For Bianca's bridal shower I made some personalized cork coasters in place of traditional place cards.  This was an easy DIY project which only took a little over an hour.

Appetite for headbands

Edible and food headbands

I'm not crafty.  I don't sew.  I don't scrapbook.  But I do headbands (lately).
