I can’t believe that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Here’s a super simple Valentine treat to make with the kids – pink heart Rice Krispie treats. As you can see we like pink around here.

We were looking for an easy DIY shirt for Halloween this weekend. Calla gets to wear her costume to preschool on Thursday of course, but she’s really into the Halloween spirit and was talking about a Halloween outfit. (I’m in trouble!) So we decided to use the super simple freezer paper stencil technique to make…
