DIY: Make your own Halloween dinnerware

DIY: Make your own Halloween dinnerware

I already have a set of these markers and used them to make coffee mugs for teachers gifts last Christmas. I love the creativity of designing your own place settings! This is going on the must-try list!

iPods, bribes and angry birds

Potty training is in full swing at the house of D. The two little ones are slowly but surely moving into the diaper-free zone... There is a light at the end of the tunnel! The trick to this whole potty business in our house is bribery. That's right, I have to bribe these two with the promise of play time on the iPod with many rounds of Angry Birds. I think they are addicted...but whatever works!

Merry New Year!

Happy New Year! Here's to a wonderful and prosperous new year in 2012!
