Dana at MADE is so talented, creative, and crafty. I look forward to her blog posts each week (boy OR girl centered) she has gorgeous photos, fun projects, and great ideas. I loved this post about a completely handmade baby gift. I loved each item in this gift. It’s so thoughtful and how amazing would it be to recieve a completely handmade gift from someone.
When I first looked at the blog Spaceships and Laser Beams (besides being jealous of their adorable blog design) I was blown away by the boy inspiration. The parties they feature are some of the best I’ve seen for boys. Shortly after, I noticed that they actually create boy party products!
Spaceships and Laser Beams is an Etsy shop with products created by a collective of talented, professional designers. They feature amazingly designed, printable products that help you easily create a stylish and fully put together party JUST for the little man in your life.

Etsy is basically an online handmade marketplace. A place where anyone can sell their handmade goods. I love finding new products and thought I’d take some time on…
Well tomorrow is Earth Day and while WE won’t be celebrating Earth Day (we’ll be celebrating Mr. Waken’s Birth Day) I thought this was a really cute and quick way to talk a little bit about the Earth and it’s different layers – from Jill at Meet the Dubiens.
There was an issue the last couple days with the “Contact Me” submission form and I was not able to receive any contacts. If you tried to contact…
So if you’ve never seen/heard of/participated in Peep jousting you must try it this year – your boy will thank you for it! I’m not a fan of…
I love to find fun little things for the boys’ baskets or for my “fun stash”. Thought I’d share some cute little gifts I’ve seen around the web.
Pig Popper This guy is SO fun, it’s one of those toys that everyone has fun playing with. You squeeze his tummy and the ball pops out of his mouth.

I’m not a huge fan of Easter baskets. I had to get my boys the traditional baskets their first couple of Easters but as they’ve gotten older we’ve collected quite a few baskets. They hold the fun Easter treats for a bit after Easter but then they kind of get thrown in the closet afterwards. I feel bad throwing them away so they’ll eventually make their way to Goodwill or just get crushed and end up in the trash/recycling. I’ve been keeping my eye out for some alternative Easter baskets for this year that we can use after the fact for toy storage, book storage, or some other craft project throughout the rest of the year.
Who doesn’t love an innocent prank? I know mine do! I remember my brother having one of these (and I may have too) when we were kids. They are SO easy but are a huge hit with the Y chromosomes (the X’s as well). Let’s see how they’re made!
