I just love discovering cool new things. And I also love when I get to GIVE THEM TO YOU! I had the opportunity to interview one of the creators of Study.com (so awesome!) and they have graciously offered to have me host a giveaway for THREE of you! I am so excited to partner with…
Super Easy DIY Bead Loom
Do you know what I am LOVING right now? How my Sam is at the perfect age for doing all of the crafty things I remember loving as a child. Like the bead loom! Did you have a bead loom as a child? Before I bought him one, I wanted to try it out to…
The Easiest Woven Baskets
It’s that time of year for all of those fresh, local berries and goodies! We have been visiting our local farmer’s market each week and each week I am so thankful that there are gardeners far better than I. This also means that we have been getting oodles of those green plastic baskets too. And oodles…
What to Do While Waiting with Kids…

Outdoor Birthday Party Ideas
We celebrated a great big birthday recently! For Sam’s birthday party this year he wanted an outdoor birthday party — “Outdoor the whole entire time!” Perfect, because the only thing I love more than a house full of little ones, is a yard full of them! I had so much fun coming up with outdoor…
