Alright friends, some exciting news – my little sister is getting married! This weekend my Mom, older sister, and I threw her a lovely rustic wedding shower at my farmhouse. My little sister is one of a kind. Thoughtful, sweet, and always has been. Truly. She is just one of those amazing people. She has…
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…
Fall Button Trees
Too soon for a Fall post? Hmmm … if so, please feel free to make these summer trees (you summer-loving Mamas you). But it’s coming … that F word. I actually like the F word, just not the W word. Did I lose you? Welcome to John’s world my friends. This Quiet Bin is another…
Fall Crafts: Fall Leaf Letters
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…
Un-Chalking {A Photo on Friday}
{A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture.} We like to mix things up around here. When the chalkboard is getting a little lonely we mix things up to bring it back to life with some un-chalking (? Hmmm) I use the side of the chalk and cover the chalkboard in…
Once Upon a Time …
Once upon a time, in a land near yet far, there lived a Mama. This Mama wanted nothing more than to stay home with her kids. She longed for those long, sunny days full of finger painting, stories, and snuggles. Those moments of connection, watching all those incredible firsts, and hearing those tiny voices all…
Fork Weaving
I have recently accepted the fact that my children will always suffer from the witching hour. Mostly because I kinda think I still do. I have been using our Quiet Bins each day during that time period and it has been fantastic. I can prepare dinner in peace, and the children are calm and content….
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…
