A Quiet Bin idea on Friday. (To add to the ideas in my book A Year of Educational Quiet Bins) Here is the newest Quiet Bin we have added to the rotation this week. And it is a really big hit. Some popsicle sticks, pipecleaners cut in half, a few beads, and a pencil. Oh…
Cottage Craft Ideas
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…

I am excited to partner with Miracle Gro and their Gro-ables Project to bring you this neat idea! It is Spring! Finally!

Friendship Flowers
Sometimes I think about sharing something in this space and decide against it as I feel it too simple. But tonight, as I was about to write a different post, I gave my head a good shake. Too simple? Is that even a thing when your a Mama? No, I think this idea might just…
Preschool Easter Activities with Plastic Eggs!

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….
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…
