online and decided to order a copy even though I hadn't heard any reviews about it yet. The kids LOVE this book! Ooh! Ahh! Mommy, look at this! Sure, like any other craft book on the market today, some of the projects can be found online, but the combination of the beautiful photography and great project samples is more than enough reason to purchase a book like this. The kids have already done several projects (on their own I might add) from the book and I'm sure they will be doing more before their winter break is up. For less than $12, this book is a great investment to keep boredom at bay.

Crafting with the Kids
With a two week winter vacation the kids have been on, I was on the hunt for a craft project or two to do with them. I stumbled across Crafting With Kids: Creative Fun for Children Aged 3-10 online and decided to order a copy even though I hadn't heard any reviews about it yet. The kids LOVE this book! Ooh! Ahh! Mommy, look at this!

I just discovered a website called HeatEatReview and it reminded me that I've been wanting to post about my microwave - or lack of. 15 months ago I decided to challenge myself to see if I could go without using it for a year. Well, that was September of 2005 and I'm still going strong. In fact, at this point I don't even notice that I don't use a microwave anymore. The oven and stove are my new best friends. For heating water, I recently bought THIS
and I don't know how I went so long without it! In about 60 seconds I can have a piping cup of water for my hot chocolate with marshmallows craving! Practically instant gratification by my standards.

Snowflake soaps
Via Sunset, adorable snowflake soaps. Ahhh, why didn't I see this before Christmas?!?! What a neat idea! I think it would also be cool to add a small amount of ultra-fine glitter to the soap to give the pieces some shimmer. I suppose I will give these a whirl next Christmas.
