The weather in Minnesota is starting to get very Spring-like, which is odd for this time of year. Usually it’s still pretty cold but instead we’ve been able to get outside and play without jackets. I love that Spring is here and Easter is around the corner. This year it falls on April 16th. With only two weeks to go, it’s… Read More
March Madness Party Printables
Go, Team, Go! March Madness is in full swing — in fact, The Final Countdown, aka “The Final Four” is this weekend. I’ll be honest I didn’t do too much game watching.

Lucky You St. Patrick’s Day Party
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated every year on March 17th, but usually spreads out across the weekends before and after — I kind of love holidays that demand that!

DIY Baby Shower Letters Tutorial
I have been getting into more DIY crafting lately and I’m so excited to share these fun DIY Baby Shower letters that I recently made for a baby shower I co-hosted.
