Easy Tips for Getting Your Pantry Organized
I have been on a mission to get our home decluttered and organized. I would almost say it is bordering on an obsession! When I have a couple hours, you can usually find me going through each room in the house getting rid of stuff we no longer: use, need or want. Two weekends ago I cleared out the Master Bedroom sink area and it felt so good. Three trash bags later I felt so great! Now, I am looking to get our pantry organized and will share pictures once it is done but went on a hunt to find some ideas to try out. Here are some of my…

PBS Kids READY JET GO! Premieres February 15th
Last year at the PBS annual meeting we learned about a new series, READY JET GO! that focuses on astronomy, technology, scientific exploration, innovation and invention. The show premieres this Monday, February 15 on PBS stations nationwide.

Parenting :: Creating Family Adventures
A year ahead for the family is all about taking on new adventures. If 2015 is any indication, they could be good, bad or just plain hysterical. Our family has taken a few adventures that have definitely created some lifelong memories. We tend to take day-adventures and one of our favorites that we laugh about all the time is the day we brought our big German Shepherd mix to the dog beach in Huntington. He was so excited he could barely contain himself! In fact, he thought it was a good idea to eat all the sand he could find, run in the water after every dog he came across,…

5 Tips for Making Valentine’s Day Extra Special!
My husband and I disagree about Valentine’s Day. He gets overwhelmed (and a bit annoyed) by all the hype surrounding Valentine’s Day and doesn’t get why we need one day to express or show our love to family and friends. He aspires to show this daily and not on just one day. I understand his thinking, but my feeling is to not think you have to go over the top with diamonds, flowers and chocolates (but that’d be nice wouldn’t it?) but, instead think of it as a day of demonstrating how much you care about your family. There is no pressure, just do what you are up to doing, and…

Behind the Scenes at Walt Disney’s Animation Studios
Image found on Pinterest. Standing on the Shoulders…. of The Seven Dwarfs If you’re familiar with the term, “dwarves standing on the shoulders of giants” then you would understand the impact that Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937) had on the company upon it’s release. Mind you, prior to the release of “Snow White,” Disney’s animation was exactly what it was: black and white, slapstick, very little speaking roles and only a few minutes long. But the film, upon release, showcased the progress and vision the company had through use of technology well beyond its contemporaries. It also proved that there was, indeed, an audience for a…

Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift :: DIY Clay Heart Dish
February is the month of love. Even though I don’t go over the top for Valentine’s Day, I like to write little love notes and make cute easy crafts for the guys in my house so they feel extra special. I love to use clay for a lot of my projects and crafts and when I involve my son, 3D art is way more fun for him. Clay is also his favorite medium to play with. Sculpey clay is so fun with all the wonderful colors you can pick from so you don’t even have to paint. And as a bonus it is pretty durable after you baked it in your own oven. You…
