We’ve been seeing those videos of people wrapping cats for Christmas so we decided to try it ourselves with our kitten. Overall, I call it a success. He was pretty much wrapped, didn’t draw any blood, and, for the most part, allowed me to do whatever. This turned out much better than we expected.

How to keep a cat out of a Christmas tree. Again.
Back in 2004, I wrote down some ideas on how to keep a cat out of our Christmas tree. As our kitten grew older, the issue went away. However, this year we have a new kitten so it’s top of mind again. Lucky for us, there have been some good advancements over the years. The […]
Luna Lovegood Halloween
For Halloween this year, Lily went as Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. It’s great to see her picking characters/costumes that are unique and fun. Luna’s brave, smart, creative, and not like any one else.

That’s how Spiderman’s web is done and Harry’s glasses. […]
Some Easter Fun
Had some fun on Easter. Created giant Peeps for the neighbors, made an even bigger bunny in the snow, and finished off the day with a fun Peeps Jello dessert.
Happy Easter!

I bought two sets of solar Christmas lights from two different companies. Both had 8 modes. Both have the same issue, no memory. When the batteries run out, they forget what setting they […]
Christmas Phone Wallpapers – WordPress, Apple, Santa
I found a nice Christmas wallpaper for my phone the other day but I wanted something more. Adding a WordPress logo looked great. But not everyone likes WordPress, so I made an Apple one too. And then a Santa one. Enjoy!
My homemade Jack Skellington is up! Hopefully he survives until Halloween.
Jack was made mainly from PVC. You can see the instructions over here. I made him a bit shorter as he was like 8 feet tall and instead of fabric, I used a plastic tablecloth for clothes. The mask is from Amazon so I kind of cheated on that part. All in all, it turned […]
