Others have tons of great resources on your blogs that you want to share with everyone. I’ve also been amazed at all of the awesomeness that has been popping up in our special Celebrate the Boy!

WOW. GREAT post. So many inspiring things to look at and spark new ideas from!
That is a great list of stuff. So looking forward to all the inspiration this month.
just today discovered your blog and I love the BOY theme! It has been 20+ years since I have made small boy things but now they are big boys and I still can use ideas for boy stuff… In fact I am in the process of recycling some sheets into grocery totes for my older boy…
I'm so so excited to get more ideas to craft for boys! thank you thank you!
These are great. I especially love the race car cake. I have 2 girls, but I will keep these ideas in mind for gifts for boys.
I only have girls, a daughter who is 21 today! and granddaughter Sophie, so am always stumped when it comes to making a 'boy' gift. Thanks for all the great ideas!
Hey thanks for giving my robot invites a picture shout out!! I am so excited for all the boy stuff. I am the mom of three boys and I constantly have to think outside the box to craft for my little men.
Love the idea of boy month!
Love it! I have a girl but am pregnant with a little man now and really have to get on the boy crafts. This is a great kickstart for me, thanks.

i was so excited to see my love ninja as part of your post on this blog. i think it's such a great idea because boys do get pushed to the side sometimes compared to girl stuff. i can't wait to see what else is in store to celebrate the boy!
