Free Origami Printable Bookmarks

Kids and adults alike will love making and using these clever free origami printable bookmarks! I'll let you in on a little secret. I LOVE books. I love a fabulous story with a twisting, turning plot that keeps me from doing the dishes or laundry or going to bed at a decent hour because I just can't put it down. But even if I can display some sort of self-control (i.e. the kids need dinner) there's another reason why I don't want to put it down: I don't own a proper bookmark. Torn open envelope from my last bank statement? Used it. Business card from the pest control guy? Yep. Piece of (unused) toilet paper? Guilty. Shamefully guilty. I decided that I needed a proper bookmark. I saw a few designs floating around the internet, so I decided to create my own. And yes, my fellow ... [Read More]

How to Cut a Pomegranate – My Favorite Kitchen Hack!

Pomegranates are delicious and juicy, but they can often be messy and hard to open. Until now! I'm showing you a fantastic kitchen hack that will change the way you open and deseed a pomegranate forever!

He gave all the neighborhood kids permission to pick as many as they could while they were in season. I LOVED those pomegranates... but my mom wasn't a huge fan! Not because they weren't delicious (because they were!) but they were hard to open, and terribly messy! I ruined a number of shirts as a little girl trying to cut and deseed them by myself - that juice sure can stain! I passed on my love for pomegranates to my kids - they can literally eat them like candy! But until a ... [Read More]
