Check Out My Mother’s Day Tree

You know, there are days when being Mom wears me out. Luckily, there are a lot more days that make me realize just how fortunate I really am!

My Mother’s Day was absolutely awesome! I may have silently wished the night before Mother’s Day for a new car in the driveway, a “day off,” or a luxurious spa day, but what I got was far better.

Mother’s Day Gifts

This is probably the last post I’ll do for Mother’s Day crafts since we’re getting so close now (Next Sunday!). I thought I’d just concentrate on gifts this time. Enjoy!

By the way, what do you think of the new layout? I’m still working out some of the kinks, so your comments are very much appreciated!

Mom Shrink Art Pins - I love doing things with Shrinky Dinks! The creator of this craft made the pins pretty elaborate, but you can make it really simple for younger kids. All you have to do is let them color the basic design, shrink it (which they love to watch!) then glue on the pinback. This is a really fun craft/gift idea for Mother’s Day! Read more

More Mother’s Day Crafts

I found some really great Mother’s Day craft ideas this week online that I thought I’d share with you. I have to warn you, however, that most of the children’s craft sites that had great Mother’s Day crafts also had lots of popups and advertisements (I hate that!)… but the crafts are pretty good and worth the inconvenience.

If you know of a really great resource, let me know and I’ll post it next week! Enjoy!

Mother’s Day Crafts and Thank You!

Before we get to the Mother’s Day crafts, I wanted to thank all of you if made comments on the blog and emailed me privately about homeschooling. It’s a big decision and all your help if very much appreciated!

I know it’s a little early for Mother’s Day crafts, but I thought you might want to start planning out your projects for all those little ones to take home to Mommy. I realize some of you will find this information totally useless because you ARE the Mom, but maybe you can pass the ideas on to Dad to “surprise” you on Mother’s Day. Dad’s can definitely do crafts with the kids too! Read more
