Mornings are always chaotic in my house. Between deciding who wants what for breakfast, who still needs to get dressed and who still needs to brush their teeth, someone always ends up in tears. Oh, and let’s not forget the daily battle to brush and style the kids’ hair. Nobody ever wants to sit still for that! Having to add school back into the routine has just made our mornings even worse. Now we have lunches, backpacks and homework to worry about. I found these really cute place mats online that I think might help. I love how easy they are to make and that my kids will be able customize thier own to make it special just for them. I can’t wait to test them out!

Grandparents LOVE to show off photos of their grandchildren and they also love gifts that are “from the heart.” When I was a kid I LOVED making anything and everything with craft sticks. My mom would buy a box for us at the craft store, and we had instant entertainment for hours! Your kids will have fun making their own craft stick photo frame and their grandparents will love it!
