I often go off on tangents on Pinterest. I will run into one pin I like and then get pin crazy with that idea/theme. That is what happened with my recent party I put together to celebrate a late Father’s Day/early Birthday for my husband. It started with seeing one root beer recipe, and that quickly snowballed into a whole menu of root beer recipe and a matching themed party inspired by Dad’s brand Root Beer.

Since a Disney trip is not in the cards for us this year, I decided to try and fill that void by booking us tickets to Disney on Ice: Dare to Dream. After reading glowing reviews online and seeing by my 3 year olds reaction to the commercials for the show on Disney Junior, I knew we would all have a great time.

Even though I am a stay at home mom, I don’t get the chance to go in and volunteer at my son’s kindergarten classroom because my 3 year old is home with me. To try and make up for this, I often sign up to bring the treats for holiday celebrations and their monthly birthday celebration. Continue reading “Storytime Treats inspired by Mo Willems”

Today I am excited to share this quick little paper craft courtesy of my mom, Christine Wolzl. These simple paper baskets would be a fun little craft to do with kids and are so easy to customize using your favourite color or patterned paper. They would be great at a kids party for favour baskets or filled with treats as part of the place settings at Easter dinner.
For my son’s 6th birthday party this year it was no surprise when he said he wanted a Minecraft theme. Around the time he turned 5, he started to get interested in Minecraft from watching YouTube videos and began begging for months to get the Minecraft app for his ipad. I was very hesitant to get it since he was younger then the recommended age and I assumed he would require a lot of help from me. I finally let him download it in the Fall and since then have continued to be amazed by the things he builds and the knowledge he has gained from the game. I still not sure I fully understand the whole concept, but I know it has been a lot of fun for him and was happy to use it as this year’s party theme.

You might recall the Mario inspired make-over I gave our basement walls last year before my son’s 5th Birthday Party. His love of Mario is stronger then ever, but some of the paper images I had tacked up were coming down and looking worn so I decided to give the walls an update for his Minecraft themed party. Continue reading “From Mario to Minecraft Basement Makeover”
