We head away each summer to a cottage with my parents, sisters, brother, and all the spouses and kids between us. It is always busy, but something I look forward to every year. Lots of time to laugh and visit and catch up. Last year, the apple juice cups outnumbered the wine glasses. And this…

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro Gro-ables. All opinions are 100% mine. I am so excited to partner with Miracle-Gro and the Gro-ables Project to bring you this adorable idea to get your little ones outside and growing!

Preschool Easter Activities with Plastic Eggs!
Wow, Easter sure snuck up on me this year! Hard to believe it is just a couple of weeks away. Last year, we wound up with tons of plastic Easter eggs (they were needed due to a certain little pup, and certain feathery ladies, who adore Easter candy). After the hunt, I popped them all…
Making a Craft Bin Birthday Gift
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. Happy Friday friends! This really does need to be just a photo on Friday – you can definitely get the whole idea from just this picture: However, for those of you keen to know just what I like to put in our craft…
Still Tracing Shadows
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the photo. I might need to rename my Friday posts to “It’s been 3 years and we are still doing the same things” Because quite truthfully, we are. Ben and I were building some shadows the other day with blocks and we decided to trace…
The Easiest Play Dough Recipes
Is there anything better than a fresh batch of playdough when you’re little? I know it is something my little ones LOVE. We have a pretty stellar no-cook easy playdough recipe that is a staple around here. But the other day, I mixed it up a little and tried out a new playdough recipe. Best….
Valentine’s Day Playdough
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. We whipped up a batch of my favourite no-cook playdough this week (I tell you friends, this recipe is the best! It takes 3 minutes to make and keeps for months.) I added a few jewels, cupcake liners, and heart shaped cookie cutters…
Woven Heart Basket: A simple tutorial
We made these simple and beautiful woven heart baskets again, so I thought I would share this post again too! Hard to believe I first wrote about these two years ago. Boy time flies, and apparently very little actually changes in our house … well except the house. Anyways … Here it is: We have…

With January just about behind us I thought it time to start looking forward to Valentine’s Day! And always on a mission to keeping crafting simple and cute, I thought these paper plate Valentine crafts would…
Name Symmetry
These little boys of mine managed to stay healthy right through the holidays. They waited until day two of school being back in to come down with the nasty bug that made their sister sick all holiday long. Poor boys. It’s likely the same in your house – in ours, there are different levels of…
