Year Of The Dog

Our town is having a parade to celebrate Chinese New Year! I thought it would be fun to make something to wave while we watch the parade, and I came up with this easy dog maraca!

We just made it out of 2 bowls, with a paper towel roll for a handle and pasta inside to shake and make noise. 

 I let Jude paint the pieces and then I assembled it with a hot glue gun. He ate his lunch in his high chair and watched me put it together. I thought it was important for him to see it go together so that he understood better that we made it. He was very excited with the finished product and had to show his dad when he came home!

Can't wait to take him to the parade! Happy New Year!!!

An Indoor Beach Party For Elmo's Birthday

Elmo's Birthday is February 3rd and we decided to throw him an indoor beach party to celebrate!

 Jude and I decorated a plain cake from Wegmans (our favorite grocery store). We used blue frosting, gummy candies, graham cracker crumbs (for the sand) and a few bath toys (they were clean!).

This adorable tote is from The Land of Nod.

Vintage sand toys.

Our indoor beach party! Jude LOVED this and played for hours! We will be setting up the indoor beach again, it was a big hit and such a great way to kick those winter blues!

Kinetic sand is less messy for indoor play and still a great sensory activity!

 Vintage Sesame Street toys.

Happy Birthday Elmo! Jude loves you!

Christmas Red Truck Footprint Craft

Just wanted to share the Christmas footprint craft I made with Jude. Our holiday card photos were taken in a red truck so I thought this twist on the Christmas tree footprint was perfect!

Look What You Made Me Do Cocktail

I saw these huge gummy snakes at Target and I instantly knew what I wanted to do with them. I am a big fan of Taylor Swift and love her new song Look What You Made Me Do. The music video is filled with snakes and I wanted to make a Look What You Made Me Do cocktail!

The drink is a green apple martini rimmed in red caramel... dripping down the glass! I topped it with a gummy snake and a Look What You Made Me Do food pick!

I'll be sipping one of these tomorrow on Halloween and singing...

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time

Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time

I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined

I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!

;)
