Chocolate Ghosts Halloween Treats These chocolate ghosts are absolutely addicting. Very dangerous. Make them for your next Halloween party and they will be gone sooo fast! These can be made into regular “truffles” anytime of the year, but this is a fun Halloween twist!
Here is an easy play mat I made to represent grass for playing with our wooden trains, blocks and toy cars. Yes, I know you can buy carpets for this purpose (we have one) but they just seem too “busy” to me. And this is a no-sew train mat, so it’s really easy to…

Homemade Bath Paint The first time I wanted to look into making tub-paints (like it isn’t hard enough getting my daughter out of the bath tub!) I found this recipe. 1 TBSP corn starch (more if you want thicker consistency) 1/3 cup dish detergent (eco-friendly is better for little ones’ skin) …
