Giving My Kids Superhero Powers
When I created this Self-Quarantining with Kids series, I started off with Questions to Ask Kids While Quarantined. One of the questions I asked my daughter was If you could have any superpower, what would you pick and why? Her answer was "I want ice powers like Elsa and fire powers like Sailor Mars because it will be so fun!" So that gave me an idea. I thought it would be fun to dress up and give my kids superhero powers (through the power of Photoshop, of course).

DIY Kids Character Sleep Masks
Because I'm working from home with two kids, sometimes my favorite parts of the day is when the kids are sleeping--nap time and bedtime. It gives me a nice little break from having to deal with multiple things at once. I can finally focus on my work without any distractions. Or I can finally take time to do something for myself, like shower, or read, or breathe. The problem is that the kids don't always go down very easily. It took me a while but I finally discovered that putting sleep masks on the kids is a game changer. I thought it would be fun if they had themed sleep masks so they would be more excited to put on their masks and get to sleep. So I'm going to make my kids character sleep masks.

Here's my DIY Renaissance Ariel Costume!
