Well, those lovable little yellow creatures are back again! Yes, the minions are back with another movie…Despicable Me 3 is coming to theaters this Friday! I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait. I think I like those awkwardly cute and lovable creatures more than my youngest daughter (and she thinks they are pretty […]
college shopping dos and don’ts
A lot of my time last summer was spent getting our oldest daughter ready to go to college. Audrey had an entire list, organized by categories (she’s a very organized person for someone her age), of items she felt we needed to purchase for her dorm. Well…never having been through this before (except as an […]
master bedroom/ bath refresh
Well, I got that “itch” again this spring. No, not poison ivy! You know the one…that “itch” to refresh a few rooms in our house! I think it comes from living in the midwest and being cooped up all winter…I just feel the need to make some updates and changes in our home. The room […]
vegetable garden markers
My youngest daughter has been begging me to plant a vegetable garden all spring. I find this quite ironic considering that, for the most part, she avoids eating vegetables! However, I did think this endeavor might encourage her to snack on a few carrots or cucumbers every so often…so we took on a new project […]
graduation gift ideas
Well, it’s that time of year…school is ending and high school seniors are graduating. It was just last year that I experienced this rite of passage for the first time with our oldest daughter. It’s hard to believe that she just completed her first year of college and is home for the summer! Even though […]
crafternoon…spring edition
I hosted my first ever CRAFTERNOON a few months ago (click here to see the details of the fun afternoon of crafting, food , and friendship). It was such a success that I decided to host another one…this time with a spring theme. As part of the day, the guests created this vintage-inspired floral arrangements. […]
party like a pineapple
If you are a regular reader of Polka Dots & Picket Fences, you know how much I enjoy browsing (okay, more like shopping) the Dollar Spot at Target! Really, who can resist those great finds at even better prices… Well, that was the case when I spotted all these fun and colorful pineapple items in […]
glow in the dark egg hunt
I love Easter egg hunts! I remember hosting my first one many years ago…my oldest (who is now 19) was two years old at the time. We invited her playgroup over for snacks and to hunt for eggs. I thought I was being super organized and got up early to hide the eggs in our […]
baker’s twine eggs
Easter is just a little more than a week away, and it’s time to start decorating those eggs! Of course, my girls love to dye and paint them…but I’m not crazy about the mess those supplies can sometimes make. This idea for decorating eggs is mess-free, except for maybe some sticky fingers from the glue. […]
washi wednesday
It’s washi wednesday, and you know what that means…I’m sharing another way to use washi tape! I love this product soooo much…I can’t resist buying all the fun designs and patterns! This idea actually came about because I was being lazy… So here’s the scenario…I was baking a double batch of my homemade granola bars […]
