Travel Pillows! WIN!!!
My kids already had “travel” pillows that I had made for them a year or so ago. They were long and skinny, and had handles on each end. They served us well. As we prepared to travel, my son brought his to me and told me that he didn’t like it anymore. He asked me, very politely, to make him a new one for the plane. My son is 3! Of course, I agreed… I mean, a pillow is pretty simple. The photos of prep I am sharing are of my daughter’s pillow. If one gets one, the other does too, you see. I decided about how long and wide…

Baby Doll Leash… CREEPY!
Just as I don’t like travel pillows and sippees dragging on the floor in an airport (or anywhere, for that matter,) I also don’t like baby dolls dragging on the floor either.

And it was on the “One day, when my kids nap and play nicely like the angels I know they are…” list. Until last week… When my husband got home from work on Friday, my son got to show him his Dino Tail. SO awesome! My husband was really impressed – he thought they were awesome toys. Until my son started demonstrating his tail attack on his sister, and the dogs… but still… we love…

Angry Birds Beanbags
My son. He cracks me up! His Grandma got him hooked on Angry Birds some time ago. I wasn’t completely impressed. Until he started playing Bad Piggies… check that out! Anyway, I stopped looking for ideas for what to make for the baby shower we’ll be going to soon, and started looking for ideas for things to make for the Big Brother… and for my kids – since they had been so patient. And then I came across this Blog Post from Kauai Family Travel and thought, “I could TOTALLY make those!” And then… I did. I also used This Post from The Village that Plays Together for inspiration on the Piggies. I used…
