A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. This was such a fun craft! We used sticky contact paper and mirrors to make nature portraits. I wrote all about it over on CBC Parents if you are keen to read more. Have a wonderful weekend friends, and thank you for reading!…
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…
Fingertip Caterpillars {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes, all you need is the picture! Making caterpillars with fingerprints is a great way to practice one-to-one correspondence (counting while pointing), patterning, skip counting, a ton! I just drew on caterpillar heads, but you could use these neat printables from Fun Handprint Art Blog. Thank you for reading, have…

Birthday Countdown
The countdown has begun. Already. Though, I suppose, why shouldn’t it? A birthday is a wonderful reason to celebrate, and a 5th birthday? Hardly anything better. With a 5th birthday mere days away (albeit 20 days …) my Sammy was very excited, and ready to do something to get ready for his birthday. I figured…
Felt Easter Eggs
With winter now behind us (officially anyways, not in the way that we still have snow on the ground), I thought it time to pack away a few winter things. I washed up our snow pants and coats, which of course meant I woke up to clean snowsuits and a world of white outside. The…
The Classic Tin Can Telephone {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is a photo. But most times I just can’t help myself. Do you remember this childhood classic? Two tin cans with holes punched in the top (we hammered in nails and then removed them), a piece of string knotted on the inside of the can, some…
Weaving Sunflower Seeds
I feel as though I am always beginning my posts with a weather update for you. I am quite sure you are not very interested in my local weather, though I am also quite sure that you kind souls will amuse me. Yet again. It has been a rather chilly week here! It appears our…
Spring Paper Rainbow
All things coloured. The theme of the late winter season continues in our home, with bright crafting running rampant. And thankfully, with the mild weather, my little ones have also been able to run rampant outside! We have been seeing so many signs of spring this past week, which is very early for us here…
