We’ve had a crazy Easter so far. This year we celebrated at home with the whole family. We had gifts, a visit from the Elf (he’s not just for Christmas you know!), and a few Easter egg hunts – thank you Co-op for sending us so many supplies! There was plenty of down time with…
Last weekend we threw my 8 year old a Minecraft themed birthday party. I had so much fun planning the food, drinks, games and party bags. I had some Minecraft tattoos left over and decided to make some simple Minecraft Easter eggs to use as decorations. My 8 year old was quick to tell me…

My children love Minions, so today I’m going to share with you how much fun they had with the Aquabeads Minions Playset. You know that they love crafting with Aquabeads as we’ve reviewed lots of the sets over the last few years. They are basically beads which fuse together with a spray of water and…
