DIY Play Cupcakes Craft With Sprayfoam
Aren’t these play cupcakes just the cutest? They are so simple to make, and whipping up a batch is a great craft project to do with a group. My daughter actually made these with a group of gradeschool girls, and they used them as cupcake magnets, so use your imagination and enjoy! It is true, this craft is made with a product that is for adults only, and likely full of toxic fumes, but maybe you have a can of insulation spray foam sitting around, so I’d say better to use it than toss the partly full can! Spray foam can be used to create so many amazing things for…

When Your Kids Outgrow Your DIY Costumes
Photo Above: Just to clarify, this is a costume my son threw together himself last year, with bits and pieces, it is a Moroccan Sherrif clown! Purim is in another month and it is time to get going with the costumes! DIY costumes have been something that I’ve spent a lot of time and effort creating over the years, and guess what, I can now use that time for some other creative pursuits, as my kids have outgrown my DIY costumes! An end of a sweet era I must say, on the other hand I’ll get a bit more sleep on those nights before the Jewish holiday of Purim! It…

No Bake Popsicle Cookies Are Simply Adorable
With everything looking pinker than pink in blog land this week, I thought I’d contribute with these super simple and beyond adorable no-bake popsicle cookies! And I’ll just add that these are courtesy of my 16 year old daughter who is quite the expert at these kinds of things…….her mother would rather be painting, or making something healthy! Regardless it is great to have a trick like this up your sleeve when another neighbor’s daughter is having an engagement party and the desert bar needs to be beyond gorgeous! Ah yes, and with Purim coming up, some of these presented with a summer theme could be an amazing mishloach manot!…

Golden Doves Henna Party Centerpiece
First of all, it is now the month of Adar, a month increased joy and happiness, and some sillyness to boot, so you don’t need the excuse of a neighbor’s henna party to make some fun Moroccan doves like these! Did you know that doves mate for life, and they also share the duties taking care of the young ones? I know this since I’ve had many doves nesting on my window sills over the years! So it is no accident that a pair of doves is often used as wedding symbolism. I happened to have large number of white doves that I used as centerpieces for a different kind…

Simple Moroccan Theme Centerpieces For A Jewish Henna Party
A Jewish Henna party? Yes indeed dear readers, Jews from places like North Africa/Morocco, Yemen, and even Iran do have the tradition of a henna ceremony sometime before the wedding. The main difference between the Jewish henna ceremony and the henna ceremonies I’ve seen from India is that the Jewish ceremony does not involve drawing designs, rather a large round mark is made on the hand with the henna, and there are even little round badges with ribbons that are used to tie the henna to the palm as it must be held in place for a while in order to leave a mark. The three hebrew letters that spell…
