Lavender No Cook Homemade Playdough: A Soothing Sensory Play Experience

September 9, 2020 by Jessie Leave a Comment

I wish you could smell through the computer because the smell of this lavender is amazing. We are incredibly fortunate to have a small garden—one of my “asks” when we started to figure out what we wanted to plant, was a lavender bush.

Playdough is for the Birds!

April 19, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

It is the season for birds! Which makes it my Mamas least favourite time of the year. She is utterly terrified of birds. Which also means she is not such a fan of coming over to the farm, you know, given our flock of lovely feathery ladies. Especially since those ladies are so tame and…

December 4, 2015 by Sarah Leave a Comment

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).
