Earth Day Decorating

After seeing these cute recycled party items I’m annoyed that I didn’t plan ahead and make some with my kids. We could have had a little Earth Day party.

How to re-use your baby’s crib

Your baby has moved into his big boy bed and his crib is just collecting dust and taking up a lot of space. Do you keep looking at it and wonder what to do with it? Here are a couple of great DIY projects to convert your crib into something more useful.

1. CRIB NOTES

Birthday Q & A album

I have been thinking about creating a memory book for my kids for some time now, and I have finally found one that I definitely can do. It is called a Birthday Q & A album. How it works ? Starting from the age 3,  You ask your child  20 questions every year around their birthday. You then collect them in an album with a picture of them on their birthday with their age and maybe using their favorite color that year as the background. You can be as creative as you want.

Here are the 20 questions. You can always remove or change the questions.

1. What is your favorite color?
2. What is your favorite toy?
3. What is your favorite fruit?
4. What is your favorite tv show?
5. What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch?
6. What is your favorite outfit?
7. What is your favorite game?
8. What is your favorite snack?
9. What is your favorite animal?
10. What is your favorite song?
11. What is your favorite book?
12. Who is your best friend?
13. What is your favorite cereal?
14. What is your favorite thing to do outside?
15. What is your favorite drink?
16. What is your favorite holiday?
17. What do you like to take to bed with you at night?
18. What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
19. What do you want for dinner on your birthday?
20. What do you want to be when you grow up?

Art supply organizer

A simple way to organize all your children’s art supplies.

All you need is a over-the-door shoe organizer and I would use a label maker to label each pocket to make it easier for the kids to put things back in place.
