The Taffy Box

Looking for fun things to make, see and do this weekend? Check out these fresh ideas from some of our favorite blogs and websites...

We love this sweet collection of personalized baby spoons that Ohdeedoh featured recently. Most are available (yay!) on Etsy.

Are your kids as excited about Cars 2 as ours are? The G-rated sequel, starring Lightning McQueen and the gang, hits theaters today. (An excuse to eat Twizzlers and popcorn while sitting in a dark, air conditioned room? Sounds good to us!)

A warm summer day is perfect for a scavenger hunt. (And a chilly, rainy day? Perfect for an indoor scavenger hunt!) Check out these fun DIY ideas for your own hunt, compiled by Modern Parents Messy Kids.

Are you a busy mom who could use a little more balance in her life? (Um, does chocolate taste good? Does a bear you-know-what in the woods?) Read what the mommy bloggers at Childhood 101 and Living Locurto have to say on the subject this week.
