Bunny Bonnet Pattern
The only thing cuter than a baby in a bonnet is a baby in a bunny bonnet! This bunny bonnet pattern is an add-on to the Classic Baby Bonnet pattern!

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Costume DIY!
This post is sponsored by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse now on Blu-ray and Digital. We loved watching SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE as a family. The kids loved it and have been throwing their "webs" all over the place since! It's such a great family movie and we had a blast crafting our own Spider-Verse costumes after watching! I loved the themes of individuality and everyone having a "superpower" or ability to make a difference. We turned that into a discussion with our kids about what they have to offer while they designed their ...Continue Reading

And he has big MUSCLES, what the heck! It's kinda hilarious and if you make this shirt a little tighter you can really see them. Since they have slightly different body ...Continue Reading
