Artwork Display

I have really been interested in making something like this for my kids stuff and am thinking of haning it in their rooms so that we can continue to display their stuff without it overflowing off the fridge. http://windmilllettering.blogspot.com/2009/08/super-saturdaytis-season.html

So while blog hopping I came across another blog that I love. NannyGoat. So fun - here is an idea for a book where the kids can match the faces of people they love. What fun - I know my kids would enjoy this. http://littlenannygoat.blogspot.com/2009/05/picture-matching-book.html

Dad Cake

Are you ever wondering what to do for Dad on Father's Day? Make him a Father's Day Cake or even Brownie. Brownies are our Dad's favorite. :) You could even have the kids help decorate. http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=50245

I can't remember if I have posted this suger hero idea before, but here it is. Fun Idea!

Magnent Board

You see these everywhere, but I particularly love this one with the paper and white frame. I also love the idea someone had to put these in your kids room for all their artwork they bring home. That helps clear up the kitchen fridge clutter. This picture is off Country Living - http://www.countryliving.com/

Fabric Rocket

So creative - I can't believe someone made this. Love it! I know my boy would love it too! http://thelongthread.com/?p=308
