Personalized Collage Frames!

This will be a sweet and simple post as I must actually start packing.....moving in 3 days and all....eek!

With the move, Tristan will finally have his own bedroom for me to decorate! When I was pregnant with my daughter Peyton, I had lots of time to do paintings and all these fun canvases to put up in her room. When I was pregnant with Tristan, I was chasing Peyton around and therefore there is a distinct lack of awesome artwork for his room. I decided to play a little catch up yesterday while they were both napping!

The project was simple and easy! All you need to a hot glue gun, some plain wooden frames ( I got mine at Ikea years ago) and paint, etc. I made a little picture collage showing what I did.

Enjoy!

Be Mine, Valentine!

Happy Valentines Day to everyone!

I hope that everyone everywhere was feeling at least a little love!

Today I made Red Velvet Cupcakes, although I did cheat today..I used boxed mix! (gasp!) But they were tasty and with the packing and such, were just the easier choice.

Also, we gave our munchkins their Valentines Day gifts, some super cute little stuffie Voodoo Dolls...yep Voodoo Dolls! Although these little guys are harmless and just for fun, so for those out there that would....don't get your panties in a twist! ^^ I also made the kids Valentines cards.

Hubby and I didn't do anything this year for each other, simply because we are to busy and life is expensive, lol. That being said, this doesn't make me sad, my husband is my best friend, and when we can, we do things for each other without it needing to be a special " I love you" day. :) I wish this kind of love for everyone. <3

Anyways, enjoy the pics!

Peytons breakfast!

Kisses!

Nuzzles for Voodoo boy!

His first Valentine!

Until next time! :)

Tommy K Play!

When I was a kid, there was this great indoor playground called Bonkers. It was full of tunnels, foam pits and lots of things to climb on. I seem to recall many a birthday parties being held there! Sadly, it is not longer around for me to take my munchkins to, so I set out on the hunt to find somewhere I could take them.

I have looked into quite a few places and there seems to be 2 or 3 really promising ones, but today we decided to try out TommykPlay. It was excellent, I will defiantly be taking my little ones back. There is alot to do for toddler aged to about 7 or 8 years old. Lots of climbing and tunnels, slides, a laser room and a mini "go cart" track for the smaller kids. There is also an enclosed area for the younger ones and toys to peek there interest as well.

I've added a link for those who want to check it out, I would defiantly recommend it for safety, comfort, affordability and fun!

Enjoy the pics of my little P, experiencing her first indoor playground! :)

 

 

Nothing better then seeing the glimmer of fun in a child's eyes! :)

Boxes are a kids best friend!

Hello again!

So, as I mentioned in my last post, it's rather busy in the Seymour household. We are moving at the end of the month and with moving...comes moving boxes!

I remember when I was kid, for my birthday my parents got me a HUGE already made cardboard playhouse,I loved it and I now know that my daughter has a love for these fabulous vessels of imagination just the same as I did.

Last night, my wonderful friend Steph , my daughter P and myself all built and colored on these excellent cardboard box forts and tunnels.

P was thrilled!

Which tunnel to explore!?

Steph, peeking around the corner, hoping to spook P!

Even I decided to worms my way through and be a creepy tunnel Mommy!

All in all, a good time was had! I do believe we may have to do a reprise to the excellent tunnel building after I unpack the new house!!!

Although I have been slacking on getting updates on here, I haven't altogether been slacking on the fun and creative parts of our day to day! The next couple of pics are of fabulous fun hot dogs, Valentine Cookies and a quick peek at one of the wands I finished! :)

Enjoy!

Playing Catch Up!

Hello! So I know I haven't posted in a few days, but it's been kind of busy around here! We got the confirmation today that we will be moving at the end of the month, pretty exciting stuff!

ALSO, I'm going to be trying out for the Calgary Roller Derby Assosciation!

Anyways, on to the tasties and pretties! The pictures I'm posting today are of the cake I made the other day ( and damn near ate the whole thing....myself!) and a few progress pics of  the 2 wands that I am working on. Enjoy!

May not look pretty, but it tastes AMAZING!
