gift ideas – Page 5 – See Jane Blog

if you missed the bijou market this past weekend. here were some of my favorite goods from now & in the past… lucky for you, most of these fine handmade-crafters have etsy shops!

i was shopping for easter & mother’s day gifts, with a few little must-have accessories that got mixed in… i would much rather have all these handmade treasure for easter goodies than generic-mass-produced goods.

take a look!

“Hello Jane! I have followed your blog for a while now without commenting. Thanks for always sharing such cute ideas on parties, crafts, shopping, eating, you name it!

i finally started nighttime potty-training with sela.
with our first three kids, i did daytime/nighttime at the same time.

but, with sela, we were lazy. we are older & lazier parents.
we purchased pull-ups and let her have an extra year to grow
before trying the all-dreaded night time potty training.

to motivate her, we made a stop at the toy store and stocked up on some
adorable new toys that she would earn each night when she woke up
with a dry bed.

as usual,
we, the parents, were more worried than needed to be.

i was recently browsing the current issue of ‘Woman’s Day,’ and saw an ad for this:

“This year, Canvas on Demand, a company that turns your photos into canvas portraits, will send a 16″x20″ canvas to any mom/wife of a deployed service member for FREE. {$112 value}. The soldier just needs to go to canvasondemand.com {here} to register for “Operation: Hi Mom/honey!” and upload a photo. What a great gift when they’re so far away!”

How awesome &

is here!

dusty took our kids out boo-ing last week. i found these cute & very affordable {$4.95} kits at starbucks. I also chose to fill them with sugar-free treats from starbucks. I figured that way they were adult & kid friendly.

by the way, if you remember…dusty, danny, and i made a bet to stay-off-sugar for TWELVE weeks!

how insane are we?!?

well, we are all eights weeks in and doing great! 4 weeks to go, then we’re going to indulge in thanksgiving~yams, rolls, pumpkin pie, pecan pie..of course, in small portions.

then we’ll keep going sugar-free! did anyone join us in this insanity?
