Easy DIY Paper Covered Picnic Table Makeover

There’s nothing like spring to bring out my inner creativity, and this year I had the chance to really show off my springtime style with a fun trash to treasure spring makeover project! Giving an outdated item new life is something I’ve always enjoyed, both because it saves money and because it lets me put a unique twist on items in our home. While I had a few different project ideas, the one piece of furniture most in need of some tender loving care was our back yard picnic table, so I set out to take it from drab to fab with a budget of just $25!

After two weeks of gorgeous weather, a huge snowstorm had me frightened I’d have to abandon the project, but I’d managed to cover the top of the table in time to keep it dry enough for the makeover. My blow dryer came in handy as well for ensuring the seats were dry enough to sand and paint. I started by using the sanding attachment on my power drill to smooth the top and seats while removing the peeling paint at the same time. [Read more…]

Introduce Your Children to Two Classic Muppet Movies Now on Blu-ray from Disney

January 16, 2014 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

When I was just a child, one of our family’s weekly activities was sitting down to watch reruns of The Muppet Show each week. Our entire family, adults and children alike, couldn’t get enough of the loveable characters and their adventures. And when the first Muppet movies were released, we just had to sit down to watch those as well!

I had the chance to review the Blu-ray release recently and I was pretty excited to introduce my boys to the Muppets as I once knew them! Here’s a brief synopsis:

A treasure trove of hearty laughs is yours when two of the funniest, most action-packed Muppet movies of all time make their Disney Blu-ray debut in a 2-Movie Collection. From the special star-studded lunacy in Muppet Treasure Island to the jewel-heist hilarity of The Great Muppet Caper, these two classic comedy-adventures are packed with mirth, mayhem and, of course, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Animal, Fozzie, Gonzo and all your Muppet favorites. Jim Henson’s whodunit heist-movie The Great Muppet Caper and the silly and swashbuckling high-seas adventure, Muppet Treasure Island, both restored and remastered, are loaded with unforgettable music and sparkling special effects.

Treasuring Memorable Holiday Moments with Mattel

November 26, 2012 by Kathryn 13 Comments

The holidays are perfect for making memories that will last a lifetime and for me, the most treasured memories are the ones I’ve made with my boys each Christmas. While I enjoyed my own childhood holiday adventures, those days just can’t compare to the joy of seeing my boys experience the magic of the holiday season.

While a baby’s first Christmas is always a special experience, it’s even more memorable when a child reaches that precious toddler stage. Once my boys were walking and talking, the holidays carried new meaning for the entire family. Personally, my most memorable holiday milestone was the Christmas when my youngest son Benjamin was 15-months-old.

That year was the one that really represented our first family Christmas. The boys tried their very best to stay up late but they were both young enough that they fell asleep fairly early. [Read more…]
