Just a personal message asking those who have a moment to click on the following picture that has a link (which takes you to Other Mother’s in Albuquerque on FaceBook) and click on the like tab under the picture. Willow Rayne is my Granddaughter and her Daddy could sure use the the gift certificate if she could win to buy some extra Christmas presents and needed items he hasn’t been able to afford for her yet. I thank you from the bottom of my heart in advance!
OK… this is such a great idea….. for many many reasons. One, have you seen these plastic children’s kitchens that are readily marketed at your local discount store. I mean, do you really want one of those in your home. They are an eyesore AND the flimsy parts can break and cause injury to your child. This re-purposing of an unwanted entertainment center took a little bit of creativity and a little extra in supplies but turned out fantastic. I am sure the little child receiving this was more then elated and the parents were also by not having to worry about safety or that big hunk of plastic sitting in their room.
Wishing you all the special love you deserve on this very special day: Valentines Day! May your home be filled with laughter, family and most importantly LOVE! Valentines Day has always been a special day for my family and I and hope it is for you and yours also! Happy Valentines Day!
Whether you and your family view New Year’s Eve as a time for reflection or as an opportunity to have a huge party, it is a date steeped deep in traditions. This year, invite your clan to start a new first night ritual. Here are some ideas to get your creativity started:
1: Make and frame a photo collage of the past year’s events….. A poster sized frame can be obtained and everyone can have a hand in helping create a masterpiece to display all year around in an entryway, hallway or nook.
2: Deliver a plate of home made goodies to a neighbor… a great time to say hello and to keep up with current happenings in each home so that the other has ideas of what is happening at each others homes…. safety is always a big concern for all of us and if a neighbor knows some of what is happening in your home they know what to look for and vise-versa.
3:Make something old – new again: glue images cut from your old postcards/Holiday cards your family received onto postcard-sized pieces of posterboard or index cards, add a wish for the new year…. and mail them off to those you love.
4:Cover they floor with bubble wrap…. and have the family stomp their way into a new year…. while you start off that resolution to be more energetic and shed the extra pounds.
Here are some coloring sheets your family can print our, color and use as decorations to help you bring in the new year! Try using them as a competition between all members of your family with the winner winning a specially embellished blow horn and hat!
Right click and save to your computer, then print as large as you want from any publishing program or click on image, select print and choose what size you want to print it as! Have fun!!! Happy New Years!
