nurturing hope, creativity, family
February usually marks the first time each year when I get out my vintage cake holder. I found it several years ago at an antique mall.
Made of metal, it is painted a yummy pink and has a rose decal on it. The handle, amazingly, is wood. The little lever for releasing and securing the lid still works, and except for a dent, it is in perfect condition!
It’s the perfect thing for holding pink cupcakes….
And wishing you a great day!

In case your Monday has been as rugged as mine….
I just wanted to share a bit of beauty with you.
There are those days when leaving the flowers at the store is just too much to ask of a girl.
Wishing you a beautiful day!

I saw this on Nannygoat and knew it was the solution to all my Valentine woes! It took only minutes to pull together, and I feel like it’s the best Valentine I’ll ever send to school with my children:
Adorable! It’s personalized, and best of all, I don’t have to sit there while they write their names over and over and over again!
This project was so simple. I took a picture of my daughters holding one fist out, making sure that the focus was on their faces and not on their hands. Then I simply added text and had the pictures printed.
After printing the photos, simply punch a hole at the top and bottom of the outstretched fist and insert a dum-dum into the holes. Done!
So I ask all of you moms out there with children in elementary school: Is this not the cutest, easiest, fastest valentine ever? My poor kids… they may never get to take a different one to school from now on! Hurry, make some! You’ve got plenty of time.
