With Fall on it’s way I have been thinking of my favourite Fall crafts for kids. This one we did last September, and it was such a hit we will be doing it again this year. It also held up really well, and looked great for a long time. This one is a great craft…
Let Them Face Paint {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. We had some friends over last week and the kids got out the face paint. They had a blast! My little ones love to paint their own faces. Sometimes it is just simply for the process of painting them, and sometimes it is…
Pretty Pine Cone Garlands
A Photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. This pretty pine cone garland was super easy to make. Just dip pine cones into some paint and wrap twine around them to string them altogether! I wrote about this cute craft over on CBC parents. You can read all about it right…
Happy Canada Day!
While I know there are very few fellow Canadians that share this space with me, I am a very proud Canadian. Happy Birthday Canada.
Handprint Canada Flags
I wanted to share this adorable craft that I wrote about last year around this time. While I know many of you are not from the great white North, some of you are. So to those celebrating in just a few weeks, Happy Canada Day! Here is the post: We have been so busy enjoying…

This is interesting, I promise.) I am a certified “public school” teacher,…

A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture! This was Sam’s first attempt at wet on wet watercolour painting, and he loved it. He used yellow and blue liquid watercolour paint on wet paper (just as simple as that!) Happy Friday! Hope you have a lovely weekend friends. Please consider following…
3 Little Robins
A couple of weeks ago we noticed a nest in one of our trees. Very shortly after that we noticed some eggs. And shortly after that (though it seemed like an eternity) those little eggs turned into beautiful baby birds. Of course my little ones wanted to stand right by that tree and peek at…
Thoughtful Frames
I am raising thoughtful kids. There are a few qualities that I really want my children to develop (strongly develop). One that is very important, closely behind kindness, is that they are thoughtful. I want thoughtful children. Kids who hold doors, have empathy, and think of others. Kids who don’t think twice about helping someone…
