Hoppy Spring!

After a long winter, there’s nothing better than seeing the first signs of spring - blooming flowers and blue jay sightings remind me that it’s right around the corner.

But, sometimes you’ve got to fake it ‘til you make it, which is why we love our pretty new limited-edition bunny decals! They’re the perfect way to dress up your walls without a long-term commitment.

They’re easy to put up (my 8-year-old applied ours!)...

…and when you decide to take them down, simply store them on their backing paper and put them away until next spring.

My kids love decorating with Room-eez™… from Christmas and Halloween decals to these brand new furry friends, our home always looks fun and festive!

For a limited time, you can get your own spring bunny decals for only $5!

 

Still in need of some spring inspiration? I’ve scoured my favorite craft blogs for the cutest activities to lift spirits until the sun decides to stay for good.

March {Break} Madness

Have you heard of March Madness? It’s a huge college basketball event that takes place every March, and often causes eyeballs to be glued to the television (and butts to the sofa) for extended periods of time. However, for many Moms that phrase takes on a completely different meaning…

The school break is almost here, and the kids will need to be occupied for an entire week. (Eek!!) If you’re in part of the country that’s still covered in snow and experiencing extremely frigid temps, this is even more daunting because you can’t just send the kids outside for the day!

We know you'll be looking for fun activities to keep the kids busy, so we’ve come up with a few cool ideas…

• Canadian Family has rounded up 17 projects we love. Our favourites are the cardboard tube race cars and the page corner bookmarks (shown below) – too cute!

Spring Has Sprung!

Spring is here! (Well, officially, at least! There's still snow where we are...)

And with it, comes the opportunity to do some fun crafts with our kids to welcome the warmer weather. Have I ever mentioned that I love Pinterest? ;) I have found some amazing ideas while browsing this (very) addictive site and I wanted to share some of my favorites with you.
