Blisstree has a new commuinty section where you can go to voice your opinion, and interact with other Blisstree community members. There are several different topic forums including parenting, crafts, and cooking.
You can share your parenting advice, or your favorite recipes to cook with the kids, or just leave a fun comment. I love the topics because they all center around home and family, two of my favorite things.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Happy Fourth of July!!!

I guess I can wish a happy 4th of July to everyone, since it does appear on everyone’s calendar, but I’ll wish a special Happy 4th to those of you from the U.S. out there.
After a busy weekend of festivals and fireworks, we’re looking forward to a cookout with our parents and kids for the day itself. Nothing too high key, and I think we can all use the break! However, if the kids get a little bored, I may have to look at some of these 4th of July themed crafts and activities.

A few years ago, I wanted to make some suncatchers with my daughter like the ones I made as a kid. When I went looking for them, however, all I could find were the plastic ones that you colored with a see-through paint. While those are fun and great for the little kids, I wanted to share the fun of putting the colored crystals in a little metal frame. Then, it’s so fun to see them come out of the oven all melted and ready to bring bright colors to the windows.
So, I was soooo excited to …read more
Toy Creation: Astronaut Hat

Here’s an astronaut hat my son and I made this week. It’s got nine planets, a sun, a moon, a spaceship, a nebula, and two satellites. Simple to make using construction paper, pom poms, pipe cleaners, foil paper, and broken space toys.
What have you and/or your kids created lately? Send me a picture!
