Rock Buddies
Every morning we head outside for a bit of fresh air, nature walks, and to get out some wiggles. Do your kids have excess energy when they wake up? Mine do! Our outside time can be any number of things–the beach, gardening, walking, biking, swimming–but one thing we recently added to the list is playing […]
Happy Grandparents’ Day!
Grandparents’ Day is too often overlooked, in my opinion. Our kids receive so much love and adoring attention from their grandparents. They deserve so much in return. So today the kiddos and I put together these precious pictures featuring their sweet little hands and feet. I have been planning this one for a while. I […]
Shaving Cream Shenanigans
Happy school year to all those sweet children who started back this week! The official start of our school year will be the first week of September. We are still enjoying the sunshine and coming up with fun activities to do. Sometimes it’s tough to find activities for the older ones that are conducive to […]
{Tutorial} 4th of July Table Runner
A couple days ago we broke out our 4th of July decorations, which mainly consist of things that are handed to us at our town’s 4th of July parade. I hadn’t put much effort into this holiday, until now! Chloe insisted that we have something festive on our table and I agreed. So together we […]
Salt Dough Creations
It’s been quite rainy here…something that requires this mama to have a back up plan for our day. While we did spend some time between rain storms to do some fantastic puddle jumping, we needed something equally fantastic to occupy our non-puddle jumping moments. I’ve been wanting to have some fun with salt dough because […]
Weaving with Nature
Lately, we’ve been taking a lot of walks. We find so many beautiful things as we go. Today we decided to bring some of that beauty home with us and weave it in a loom (that we would also make). The girls gathered lots of flowers and grasses and leaves and sticks and carried them […]
Fun with Kids! Cork Boat
If your kids are like mine, they are always looking for something new and exciting to do. Today we made these great little boats. They took them in the pool and had a blast! Initially, I was making these for Willow’s Sunday school class for their “Jesus calms the storm” lesson, which they won’t do […]
Gifts for the Mamas
This week, we’ve spent some time making gifts for my mother and for Scott’s. The girls helped me with cards and things. I spent some time with some canvas and paint, making a gift for Scott’s mama. Our mothers are so very special. They are both amazing grandmothers to our children and I’m so happy […]
Baptism Subway Art
I love Subway Art! It’s so fun! I want to eventually do something on canvas with all of our names and things about our family. That’s in the very distant future, I’m sure. Yesterday, my niece Ana was baptized (yay, Ana!). So, to celebrate her baptism, I dove right into Photoshop and made this little […]
During my sabbatical
In the last week and a half, I have not written anything. I always look forward to writing. It’s a wonderful outlet for me since so much of my time is devoted to the wonderful people in my life. However, it has come to my attention via my growing belly, that our newest family member […]
