I hardly know a little kid (or adult) that doesn’t like dinosaurs. So I was so excited when P decided he wanted a dino-themed birthday party.

My soon to be 9 year old asked for a Lego-themed party. Challenge accepted!

This post is dedicated to Taylor and Katelyn, two wonderful women with whom I work and were kind enough to ask about my blog. I hope this helps Katelyn and other moms out there who are looking for Elf ideas because seriously, who ever thought adding something else to the holidays was a good idea!?

Besides my love of baking, I love painting and crafting. That includes watercolor painting and making all manner of decorations for the holidays. After living in the city for years, and not having room for my supplies, I put that part of myself away for a bit. This post is to share what we’ve been doing more recently. I hope to update it regularly with new artwork and crafts to see what you think.
