How to Care for Your Spouse’s EMMY

Happy Friday everyone!

Last week I posted a picture of my husband and me at the Emmys from 5 years ago. He had won for his work as a producer on a little show you may have heard of called Madmen. Perhaps some of YOU have won Emmys too, maybe even last Sunday- congratulations!! How BADASS is that?!! Please show this video to your spouse/partner/cleaning lady/brother who always lived in your shadow so that they will know how to properly take care of that beautiful prize- while you’re off at work being awesome. Cheers!

*warning strong satirical content.

Special thanks to Ryan E. Hamilton for his amazing voiceover work. Check him out at www.LifeofDad.com

And of course, to my husband for his tireless support and unconditional love. I’ll get that thing back, I promise.

Kid Crafts: How to Make Snow Globes

Hey Everyone! Pearl and I show you how to make snow globes today on Kid Crafts. Now, I know a lot of you claim to not be crafty. I hear it all the time. “I’m sooo not crafty.” “I do not have one crafty bone in my body…” etc. etc. You are my favorite kind of people.  Because you are so easy to prove wrong! Stop judging yourself, watch this video, grab a thing, and glue it to the inside of a mason jar. Don’t overthink it. The glitter stays in the jar of course, so there’s no mess. And the glitter storm- the glitter storm is the magical moment that you deserve. xo

Mom Opening Barbies

I did something today that I don’t normally do. I made an unboxing video and posted it to YouTube. It’s called Mom Opening Barbies. You know those videos with kids, where they’re opening toys? So it’s like that. Only it’s me, a mom, opening the toys.

mom opening barbies I wasn’t paid to do it. I’m just genuinely excited about the new Barbies coming out. The fact that my girls can now see themselves in Barbie thrills me. The fact that Barbie now creates a wide range of skin tones that actually reflect the diverse environment in which my girls live thrills me. The fact that there are now four body types and not just one impossible ideal thrills me.  Continue Reading…

After DIY blogging for a couple years, I’ve received many requests for video tutorials. Well, folks, the day is finally here: check out Home Made Mimi on YouTube— (soon to be) chock full of valuable home improvement DIY videos! And silliness. Always silliness.
