I was looking for some winter crafts yesterday, and guess what I found? A post I did last year that I had forgotten all about – oodles of snowman crafts! Perhaps it is just what you were looking after as well? Here is my original post friends: We have had our first snow flurries. We…
A Snowflake Printmaking Art Project
For those of you lovely folks who have asked or wondered, we are well. We are settling into our new routine. The kids adore their new little sister and we are taking things slow and easy. It’s a very nice time of year to welcome a new babe into our family as we are naturally…
The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs!
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture! We LOVE the Jillian Jiggs books. All of them! We have made wonderful, marvelous pigs out of cardboard tubes, socks, nylons – and most recently paper bags. And no matter which way we make them, they turn out CUTE. Craft pigs are simply…
Chalk Ghosts
I bought these neat Halloween cookie cutters last year when they were on sale after Halloween for maybe a dollar. And the most incredible thing happened … I remembered I bought them! Well, I actually just stumbled upon them when cleaning out the junk drawer (which is actually another incredible thing – me cleaning out…
A Tiger Chased a Dog…
Have you met Tundra yet? She is a complete sweetheart. Calm, friendly, fabulous with kids … pretty much the perfect dog. But when she was a puppy she was wild. Wild. That was her past though. We try to not focus on that and instead focus on the sweetie she has become. I think of…

Nature Walk Ideas for Kids: Leaf Sewing
Pulling this post up from the archives for you today friends, as it is my first day back in the classroom so I have been busily preparing! I will be teaching one day a cycle and otherwise home with my little ones – an incredible balance that I am so fortunate to have. I wanted…
A Sticky Fix {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. I had been thinking (and thinking and thinking) about the best way to display my little ones art work. Our pictures can be really big (or very small) and I wanted to change them quite often. Just the other day I decided to…
Handprint T-Shirts {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is a picture. (Thought I might need to change the wording, as I very rarely actually share just a photo). I wrote a little bit about some crafts we had planned for our cottage trip this year a few weeks ago. I really wanted to find…
