I Love You Teacup Gift

I Love You Teacup Gift | Mama Papa Bubba

While Brad isn’t the type to whip up something crafty with the kids for Mother’s Day, writing for CBC Parents means that Miss G and I often get to create fun gift ideas to share on their site and of course – I directly benefit. ;)

In the past we’ve made an ‘I love you’ pillowcase (the sweetest, simplest thing) and a family portrait mug for Father’s Day, and this little ‘I love you’ teacup gift sort of combines the two.

It’s soooo easy that I’m hoping even those who consider themselves not at all crafty will give it a shot with their kiddos.  The best part?  {And this isn’t really usual advice from me, but} if you shop at a big box grocery store, pretty much everything you need should be there!

3 Little Words

10 / 14 / 1210 / 16 / 12

Tonight, for the first time ever without being prompted or having me say it first, Gracen said three little words that instantly melted my heart into a pile of mush.

We were {very slowly} making our way home from Seattle, Papa and Uncle Brett in the front of the vehicle, and she and I in the back, when she took my face in her hands, looked me square in the eyes, and said…

“Grae luuuuhhves Mama.”

I Love You… This Much!

8 / 16 / 1210 / 26 / 13

Earlier in the week, Miss G and I put together an adorable little Pinterest-inspired card for her Gido’s (grandpa’s) birthday.  (Gido if you’re reading this right now, you shouldn’t be!  Back to preparing/enjoying your bike trip!!!) The original post comes from A Day in the Life, and although we stuck to the basic plan, we made a few little changes along the way too. Here’s our version…

First up – materials… A couple of pieces of card stock, some crayons, a pencil, a black Sharpie, a glue stick, and some scissors.

To get started, we traced Grae’s hand onto the card stock in pencil (her favourite part – the girl loves having her hand traced).

Then I folded the card stock in half, and cut out the hand, giving us two identical copies. We did try to ‘team cut’ the hand shape, but it was pretty tricky, so Grae became the recycling collector/depositor for this part instead.

Next, using our black marker and the hand-over-hand technique, we printed “I love you…’ on the front of the left hand.

Then it was time to decorate both hands.  Everything is better with colourful baby squiggles, is it not?

Next, we cut two strips of our white card stock, glued them together to form one extra-long strip, and wrote “this much!”, plus a personalized message, along the length before Grae added her special touches to it.

With the decorating complete, we folded up the strip accordion-style…

And attached each side to the palms of the hands using our glue stick.

Here’s the finished result.
