Dude Approved DIY Kid Crafts

I am not that crafty of a human. My hands shun intricate details, and make a mess of things that used to be pretty. But, every now and again, I sorta hit the jackpot when it comes to craftiness and, when I say every now and then, I basically mean five times in about as many years. Here are 5 DIY Kid Crafts to Try

Kitchens Were Made for Dancing. #Sponsored

There aren’t many large appliances in my house that I enjoy spending time with. Dishwasher.  Boo. Washer and dryer.  Yuck. Stove.  Um, are there cookies involved?  Then, yeah, no thank you. I can’t live without these items, but if I could live without ever having to touch them because my maid and butler and chef were in charge of that, I totally would. Totally. Call

This One Time, When Our Gingerbread House Caught on Fire.

I’ve never been a huge fan of the gingerbread house making holiday tradition. You’re gonna judge, but I don’t like doing really messy, labor intensive activities with my kids.  Mostly because I don’t like doing messy, labor intensive activities at all, but also because they rarely seem to enjoy them either.  Usually, they moan about having to be involved (particularly that crotchety middle school one)

DIY Holiday Photo Ornaments.

Determined to make my holiday sparkle, I decided to tackle some DIY holiday photo ornaments this year. I looked on Pinterest. So, so many ideas. But, as someone who can’t accurately follow a set of directions to save her life likes to forge her own path, I decided that I could eyeball a few samples without actually looking through the tutorials, and then come up

This House Is Clean. Sorta.

Last week when I launched my whole Stop Sucking campaign, I let you in on my dirty little secret: I can’t clean. It’s a way of life for me and, since I can’t afford to outsource that sort of thing, I really need to work on ways to up my awesome in the clean house department. My biggest hurdle has always been my floors.  ALWAYS.

Playroom Makeover & A Giveaway.

This week Operation Stop Sucking resulted in a playroom makeover on the room formerly known as The Entirely Unorganized Mostly Useless Area The Dog Slept In While Chewing on Kid Toys. Now that all three of The Dudes spend most of their day with The Man at school, we don’t need three playrooms in our house. We honestly don’t even need one playroom in our

Wordful Wednesday. How to Make a Tent.

The Dudes spend a lot of time building forts around the house. They haul out all of the blankets they can find, pull out chairs from my dining room, and use their creation as a base of operations for pulling off all of their nefarious little plans. Now that the weather is warmer, they can take their wreck-things-while-screaming show on the road.  And, by on

Wordful Wednesday. The Lemonade Stand is Open!

The lemonade stand has officially opened for the season. He charges $.25 for a cup. For $.50 you get free refills and a gumball from the machine. To enhance his profits over last year’s lemonade stand, this season, my budding entrepreneur changed his uniform (apparently the bowtie will be saved for special occasion stands only, and he will serve most of his customers while wearing

Wordful Wednesday. How to Make a Felt Board for Kids.

A couple of years ago I made The Dudes a felt board. I didn’t know how to make a felt board and my hands are not made for detail work so naturally, it turned out hideous.  Ugly characters.  Poor craftsmanship. See… Nope, that’s not an aardvark, it’s an elephant.  And, I don’t really know what the other two were supposed to be.  Maybe a gorilla
