Lil Treasure: Artwork For Around Your Neck

The Van Gogh in every child sometimes gets the best of our refrigerators, empty walls, and the kid's rooms.

The Van Gogh in every child sometimes gets the best of our refrigerators, empty walls, and the kid's rooms. When your lil one brings home that masterpiece that you know sets itself above the rest, turn it into a treasure.

You can scan or mail your tot's magnum opus to Analiese and for $8, she will turn the artwork into a beautiful glossy pendant that you can put on a necklace or whatever your heart desires. The original, which isn't limited to child's play, needs to be 8 1/2 x 11 or smaller. And, for an extra $5, you can add a silver chain to your order.

Lil Treasures: S'mores by Candlelight

Winter weather is approaching and when you find yourself rained or snowed in with the kids, make the most of it.

Winter weather is approaching and when you find yourself rained or snowed in with the kids, make the most of it. A friend of mine came up with an ingenious way to enjoy s'mores and all their deliciousness without a campfire, barbecue or even a fire place.

All you need is a pack of graham crackers, a bag of marshmallows, some chocolate squares, a few water soaked skewers, and a tea light. The soft flame of the small votive candle is a controlled heat that makes warming the marshmallows much safer when small hands are involved. Best of all, it takes just a few minutes to make the gooey treats so you have more time to enjoy them with your lil ones.
