:: Child Activities - marsh-picks

One thing my girls love doing is creating with marshmallows and toothpicks.

I saw a friend do it with her kids on instagram and immediately wanted to try it.

We had toothpicks and marshmallows on hand, 

so I gave them to the girls and let their imaginations run wild.

Well, Reese was just into eating them, but Ava was pretty creative.

Do you see her giraffe below?

We decided that we'd call it marsh-picks.

Don't forget about the Mikarose Dress Giveaway.  Ends Friday!

:: Discovered - paper coterie

Have you ever heard of Paper Coterie?

If you haven't, good thing you're reading this right now!

I discovered them in December through the blog HowDoesShe.

They were giving away $30 to anything in their online shop

and I was able to make the cutest desktop calendar for my mom.

And seriously.  They have the cutest items.  From Calandars, to canvases, to journals, and growth charts.

And guess what?!

They're doing it again!

When I found that out, I thought it'd be the perfect gift for the hubby for Valentine's Day

{if it arrives in time}.

I made a memory box the other night, for all of our scattered notes/memories with each other,

and the next day I received an e-mail saying it had already shipped.

Most of the items are under $30 so you're really just paying for shipping {which is about $10-$12}.

The coupon code is:  HOWDOESSHELOVE

It ends on February 17th.

{okay, I loved the example they had on HowDoesShe so much that I decided to make the same one - - 

it will help me be much more organized}

Come back on Monday for a giveaway you won't want to miss!
