Today is my birthday! I had such a lovely day, and enjoyed every minute. With spring break this week, John is home, so we could have gone anywhere and done anything (well … not anywhere and anything …) But we didn’t. We spent the day in my most favourite place of all. At home. …
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…
A Simple Quote Mug {A Photo on Friday}
{A Photo on Friday} I am cheating a little bit this Friday, as this photo requires just a sentence or two. For this sweet quote mug I took a piece of contact paper and cut a heart out of the middle. I stuck this to the mug and then wrote my quote inside the heart….
This Weeks Quiet Boxes
Phew! What a week! The beautiful Canadian spring weather has actually come our way. While that means it is only a degree or two (or three!), it feels like the middle of summer in comparison to the -20s last week. And with this beautiful weather comes our time outside again. Almost all of our time….
Our Vegetable Garden Layout
When we were planning our very first BIG vegetable garden I searched high and low for a simple vegetable garden layout. I simply wanted vegetable garden layout ideas and advice. What vegetables should I plant beside each other? What are the easiest vegetables to grow? What are the healthiest vegetables to grow? Now, with a…
Hang On! Bookmark {A Photo on Friday}
Such a sweet gift! This little Hang-On Bookmark is a perfect Photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the photo. If you have any questions on how we made it, please leave a comment and I will get back to you right away. Thank you – have a lovely weekend friends!
Making a Town
With the thrill of March, or more so the thrill of the good-bye to February, we have been getting rather creative. We do love to create and explore on any day of the week, but lately we have been getting even more out of the box with our ideas … case and point – this…
Yarn Bombed Chair Turned Dollhouse
The verdict is still out as to whether this idea is brilliant, or ridiculous. And perhaps it is one of those ideas that will depend on the eye of the beholder. To me, as you might imagine as the creator, this idea is genius. To my hubby this idea seems a tad unorthodox. Of course…
Rainbow Craft and Snack {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday – because sometimes all you need is the photo. And maybe a sentence for supplies: We made this cute rainbow snack (and yes, it is a treat, unhealthy, and very unlike me – but it’s February and we are in survival mode!) using a dry spaghetti noodle, fruit loops, and marshmallows. …
Learning with a BIG and Simple Catapult
Very hard to believe, but the first day we used our log balancing beam, we simply used it for balancing. The boys were so engaged with that neat activity that they didn’t even notice it’s launching capability. Until Day 2. Sam stepped on the beam a little bit too quickly and noticed how fast the…
