Toddler Toy Love!

Time sure does fly!  My son Carter is now 18 months old!  I can't believe it, I am so blessed and honored to be his momma...more on that in another post...

Time for a new topic here on the blog, TODDLER TOY LOVE!  At least until Carter ceases to be a toddler, I am going to feature some of his favorite toys and goodies, I know now know how tough it is to find stuff your toddler likes and will actually keep them busy for more than 30 seconds!

For this first installment, I wanted to feature the Aqua Doodle-Travel Doodle!

We recently received this item as a gift in a Valentine's Day gift exchange.  Carter LOVES to color with crayons, but as with any young child, he doesn't necessarily stay on the paper all the time!  I was constantly breaking out the Magic Erasers to clean up his stray crayon marks on tables, walls, the dog, everywhere...!

Why Aqua Doodle?!  Well, we obviously got it for free so why not try it, right?!  I had though about ordering a Color Wonder set from Crayola (paper and special markers that only write on their own paper).  Color Wonder requires paper refills and when the markers die you need to purchase new ones.

Aqua Doodle (which also comes on a large size mat and with many of your child's favorite characters) refills it's marker with regular-old tap water and your kids draw on the included mat.  I particularly like this travel one because it isn't any larger than a standard notebook and is easy to clean, fits in smaller bags or storage in the car.  We intend to take it on a plane trip to Florida in May, but in the meantime it is great around the house too.  Carter loves that it has handles, he can fold it up, velcro it closed and carry it around the house!

Check it out here :)

Hello again...hello...

I know, I've been neglecting you my dear blog.  Soon, I will have more time to write.  This blog will become a place for coordinated blog posts, mini-hauls, the written word, and anything else that doesn't warrant a YouTube video.

I've been into some new stuff lately, Filofax being one of them.  Yes, I have discovered the joy, sadness, and overall obsession that is FILOFAX and all that surrounds it.

In other news, being a momma is hard work.  My little guy is now nearly 15 months old...not sure where the time has gone.  So many thoughts I could share on that...another day :)

Soon my schedule will free up a bit and I will be back, hopefully on a posting schedule for both YouTube and this blog.

Let me know what you would like to see...I'd love to share something that interests you!  In the meantime, check out my latest videos, see what I'm up to in my crafty Biz or Origami Owl...
Happy Fall!  Talk to you soon :)

EASY-PEASY RIBBON STORAGE & ORGANIZATION

My RIBBON supply is a hot-mess.  So, I looked around on PINTEREST and decided to clean it up!
It was all just sitting around in a Rubbermaid box and as I added to my collection, it continued to get messier! Checkout my video below to see how simple this is!

I ordered these "slacks" hangers on Amazon here: Organize It All 5-Tier Swing Arm Slack Rack
They seem super-sturdy and are at a super-low price right now, so check them out!
Here is a link to my PINTEREST INSPRIRATION for this project The Cottage Home

What would you like to see me tackle next???

Let's make "Funfetti" Fudge!

I wanted to try making some of awesome "Funfetti" Fudge everyone is talking about on Pinterest. So...I set about finding a simple and quick recipe (no one with child under 1 year-old has time to make anything complicated)! I found a recipe from the Cookie Princess here: Funfetti Fudge by the Cookie Princess

I did substitute the rainbow-colored Nonpareils for the "Jimmie" type sprinkles she used. I already had them on-hand. I also used soy milk since that is what we have in our house.

The verdict?! They are super-tasty! And super-easy to make. I think it took all of 10 minutes (not including the hour to chill) from start to plate. I tried my hardest, but as you can see, the Nonpareils still bled so instead of white fudge, I have purple fudge. This does not affect the taste at all! Also waaaaay too many sprinkles, I would definitely use a lot less next time.

Make them, you will love them. (no matter what color they come out!)

Thanks Cookie Princess!
