Fresh Picks: Freckles & Kitty

by Stacy on March 10, 2012

There’s a whole lot of fun happening on Little Rue today. Bright pops of color and loads of whimsy, any of these Freckles & Kitty pieces would be adorable for spring pictures and would certainly stand out in a family photo! I’m having a hard time choosing which one is my favorite (there’s even more eye candy in the shop), which one is your favorite?

On sale through the weekend for $29.90
Sign up for the first time & receive a $10 store credit

Disclaimer: if you purchase one, I’ll get a $10 credit too. If 2 of you purchase … I’ll get Sweet her very own Freckles & Kitty dress (remember the spending freeze? back in effect) and feature her wearing it in an upcoming post. Yay!

Todd Oldham’s Kid Made Modern is coming to Target,

This creative line of colorful and modern kid art supplies is nothing, if not inspiring.

I already have big plans for these graphic duct tapes,

and my geology, gem crazed kids will be thrilled to get their hands on these crayon jewels!

Find out more on Bulls Eye View

Until May …
I’ll be letting my creativity run wild and dreaming up all sorts of projects for us to do together! Hmm, maybe a KSW first? A collaborative kids craft project maybe, what do you think?

Reconnect with Family Game Night

by Stacy on December 13, 2011

We’re trying to make this Christmas much smaller, much simpler, more well thought out than Christmases past. With three kids at home, our toy supply doesn’t need many new additions. The kids are getting older, their interests are changing so we’re taking time now to edit what we have and make room for some new special pieces more geared towards their interests.

Something else we’re doing is trying to focus on our family life. Ways we can improve it, ways we can have fun together, ways we can enjoy each others company.

Enter the family game night.

Shown Here: Hoot Owl Hoot / Animal Yahtzee / Blokus / Color Stix / Quirkle

Board games aren’t just limited to the ones you remember, Sorry. Life. Monopoly. Uno. Those are still around and every bit as fun, but there’s also a ton of new games on the market geared towards young children that adults will still enjoy.

There are usually great sales on games, just wait for them and you can also check discount stores like Ross, Marshalls or TJ Maxx. I found a Shrek Operation game at Marshall’s for a song last week. We play the original at a favorite coffee shop, so I’m sure they’re going to love this one.

Here’s a few of the games we’ll be adding to our collection this year:

Lost Puppies / Shrek Operation / Trouble / Blokus
