Eco-friendly holiday crafts from Family Fun magazine
A routine visit to the doctor’s office with two kids in the middle of flu season is anything but enjoyable.
But it was because of a recent trip to the doc that I came across the latest edition of Family Fun (which I read in the waiting room while simultaneously spraying my kids head-to-toe with CleanWell {thyme oil}).
I was so excited by what I saw! A magazine packed full of great, green craft ideas for the holidays, three of which I’ll share with you today.
(Instructions are available on Family Fun‘s site, by clicking on the links, below.)

I definitely agree with the cause for going green. It’s just crazy to me that the worse things get the less people seem to care.
Hey I’m looking for some last minute Valentine’s Day gifts I was thinking maybe a DVD or a mixed tape. What else can I put together besides chocolates.
Check out the other ideas here on the blog. If you’re looking for a gift for your partner, consider cooking something really special together, dressed up–or not! Would depend on who the gift is for.
