ever come close to popping a blood vessel when you hear you kidlets say, "i'm bored" on a beautiful summer day? or, "can i play on the ipad? there's nothing to do!"  oof.    we started the bored jar almost 2 1/2 years ago and keep adding new fun things to it all the time.  i keep a stash of popsicle ticks in a drawer in our kitchen and keep this cool jar evolving as my lil guy is, all the time.  we have made these as gifts for Loji's buddies birthday prezzies...they are so special and are kind of a gift that keeps on giving.  Loji loves decorating the mason jars we put them in.  

when Loji's lil home slices are over chillaxin at our crib, (hahahaha, sorry, that gang'starfish comes out sometimes...i can't control it...either can my husband!) they always run up to me with big smiles saying, "we're bored! can we pick from the bored jar???!!"   so fun.

i remember driving along one day and Loji asking, "mom, why do we call it the bored jar?"  me, "well, because there's all kinds of fun things to do if you get bored."  him, "then can we start calling it the terrific jar?"  "yes Loji, great idea (happy dance)"

anyway, here's a pick i snapped of the original bored jar sticks....knock yourselves out.

    I'm Jody Starfish. My friends call me Martha Starfish because I obsess a wee bit over miss Martha Stewart, Pintrest, and all things clever and beautiful. Love to cook, play, craft, garden and love up my friends and family. Welcome to the rodeo.
