The Fall Season is upon us and the days are getting shorter and cooler. For moms like us this means we need to start thinking about all the activities we can do inside with our kiddos. One of my favorite is home made play dough. Its a whole lot cheaper than store bought and fun for the kids to help make. I know my daughter loves to help measure and pour all the ingredients in to the pot. Its a great opportunity to teach counting and measuring. And for me its a great way to warm up my hands kneading warm play dough!

A Trace of Gratitude

Through personal experience Brie has found that it is important to teach our children to say "Thank You" and to get them involved in the process. “A Trace of Gratitude” cards were designed to allow younger children to trace their very own thank you cards. The philosophy behind these inspiring cards is that creating a grateful heart in your child is a life-long gift that they can learn especially from you.

Sweet December

It was out of necessity that I started Sweet December. Both to make a little extra income and to quench my creative thirst. Crafting and creating has always been a passion of mine. Thanks to my mother, growing up I always had a craft project to work on. I never out grew the desire to create new and fun things. Now that I have a daughter and a son of my own, I have a whole new direction to explore and a need to make fun and functional baby accessories.

"Created for Moms" was created by stay at home moms with great ideas to help other mom’s save time, save money, teach respect and gratitude, keep clean and to show a little style. We were once all working women and decided to stay at home when we had children. We understand how hard moms work to teach their kids respect and gratitude, how precious their time is, how they want to make their kids look good, how hard it is to keep things clean, and how important it is to save money.

Follow our blog as we showcase our products, bring you great ideas and even some give away opportunities in the future. For more information or if you would like to purchase our products visit our website at http://www.createdformoms.com/
