We are beginning to move full swing into the holiday season and I have been planning the two weeks we will all be at home. With some down time I thought it would be a great chance to plan a few activities with my little ones, and since I do love all things Waldorf, I…
Make a Holiday Craft Box!
Things have been busy around here lately friends. And truthfully, not fabulous. Nothing big at all, and I know I shouldn’t complain, just a lot of not so super days. You know the ones I am sure, the ones that make it hard to be the Mama. Given the above, I have had a couple…
A Candy Cane Reindeer Keepsake + a GIVEAWAY!
When I was contacted by The Pencil Grip to review their newest product Kwik Stix, I was intrigued. It is not that I was intrigued so much for myself, but I was intrigued for you. You see, I am not one to mind a messy craft or paint splatters on my floor – but I…
Christmas-y Playdough Play Take 2
A photo on Friday. Happy Friday friends. This week we had some more Christmas-y fun with playdough. The kids were rolling thick and thin ropes of playdough (here is my ultimate no-cook recipe). These ropes were popped on to some white paper candy canes I had cut out. This activity is fabulous for developing and…
Playdough Christmas Trees
We are keeping things simple around here right now. Sammy is adjusting to school (sort of). Madeline is adjusting to having a little brother at school (sort of). Benjamin is adjusting to being the only little one at home with Mama (sort of). And me? Well, I’m adjusting to nothing. Change is just so hard…

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…
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving friends! I have so very much to be thankful for, including of course you visiting with me in this space. I am forever grateful to you for reading my zany ideas and especially for the fact that you often like them! I just have a quick post for you today as it has…
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…
Paper Plate Apples, and Apples on a Plate!
Have you ever met someone, in real life or online, and think …”Wow. This person has some awesome ideas! I kind of want to be adopted by them so I can do those crafts too!”? Well, let me introduce you to my new friend Morgan. I know Morgan from a homeschooling Facebook group. She shares…
