Potato printing is a perfect activity to do during a baby shower for a crafty friend. Super crafty guests can carve their own potato stamp while others can use pre-carved potatoes. If you try it yourself, consider pre-dying or overdying the little onesies afterward. Tutorial by Design Mom can be found HERE.

As much as I love my iphone, I am a die hard paper calendar user. I’ve been using the same school-year planner/calendar for the past 5 years. It’s kind of fun to look back on them to see what kinds of things filled my days each year. I consider those old calendars keepsakes. This year, […]

A few weeks ago we hopped on the OC Metrolink and took a trip down to San Juan Capistrano. I had no idea how fun, easy and cheap it was going to be (kid’s 5 and under ride free). So many places to see just steps away from the train station! Since Princess is entering […]

It’s hard to believe just a short walk from the cramped camp sites alongside the train tracks and a stone’s throw from the busy I-5, this is the beauty you can find. And honestly, who cares about the sounds of the freeway at your campsite when you have jumbo sized s’mores, bacon wrapped hot dogs […]
