You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch! I love the Dr. Seuss story "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".  I even love all three movie adaptations.  Honestly, I love the newest, The Grinch Movie the most.  I love the end when he is invited to dinner and realizes that he didn't hate Christmas, he just hated being alone.  He toasts "To kindness and love, the things we need most!"  If ever this was true, it's today. Since 2020, the holidays have been lonely and isolating to so many people.  Take some time to be kind to your neighbor, the person ahead of you in the checkout line at th...

10 Dr Seuss Day Crafts!

10 Dr Seuss Day Crafts! I love Dr. Seuss books!  When I was little we would borrow them from the library and have my dad read to us at night.  I thought that only my dad was smart enough to read the big, silly words.   My favorite book was "The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins".  Sadly, it is one of the books I don't have in my collection.  I love the "Butter Battle Book" too.  I think you can find morals in the stories among all the silliness.     I love to read them to my own kids too.  Even as older kids and teens, they love story time. Here's 10 fun crafts and project to do to celebrate Dr. Seuss day on March 2nd.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Cindy Lou Who Hair & Headband DIY!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Cindy Lou Who Hair & Headband DIY! If you've ever googled  Cindy Lou Who Hair , chances are you've seen my daughter.    When she was 5 I dressed her up for a Christmas party and she was the star of the night (picture at the end of post).  Every year after that, she insisted on dressing up.  In 2010, she got her tonsils out and came to the Christmas party dressed up like Cindy Lou Who just 4 days later.  8 years later, we are still dressing up. I've done lots of  Whoville hairdo's , but hadn't done the original book version of Cindy Lou... until now.  There's still time to make one before your next Christmas party!  Cindy Lou is adorable and looks like a land mermaid. She has bows and curly little wires (?) on her head. This could be adapted for a baby headband too.  Let's make it--it is super simple and takes less than 15 minutes to make! You will need: Metal Headband (I love metal headban...
