Easter Basket Filler Ideas for Baby and Toddler

Mostly, this is due to the fact that my toddler has become a candy monster and I am doing my best to direct her attention to other things. Baby Easter Basket Ideas My little guy will soon be turning 1! At this point, he likes putting everything in

bumGenius Baby Leg Warmers

The 1980’s are known for many style trends. Mostly, we want to forget them, but there are a few that have made comebacks. Leg warmers are definitely one of those trends. Luckily, baby leg warmers have become popular and they’re much cuter than acid wash jeans. One of the fun things about cloth diapers is that you can find some really cute cloth diaper prints and colors, like the Genius Series or prints available in the Cloth Diaper Collectors Club. Many parents fall in love with the prints and want to collect them all or have special diapers for special occasions. The prints

How to Make Super Easy Salt Dough Ornaments

Super Easy Salt Dough Ornaments

Inspiration for Super Easy Salt Dough Ornaments Some of the most memorable ornaments on our family Christmas Tree from when I was growing up are the salt dough ornaments my mom made with one of her friends before I was born.
