It’s back to school time again and although it looks different for many, it looks the same to us. We’re continuing our homeschool journey and to be honest, I’ve never been more grateful considering we aren’t forced into a new transition like many are. In addition to our schooling style being the same as usual,…
It’s a rarity that we don’t cook dinner or lunch at home, but when we do go out we have a handful of places that we opt to go that is “fast food.” One of the few place we do go is Chick-fil-A. Fun Fact: I’ve been on the national Mom Panel for Chick-fil-A that…
I’m so very excited about the Bible Activity books I’m sharing with you today. Ryan and I love having a variety of engaging ways to share the Bible with our kids. Our kids love doing a variety of activities and when I saw these books available, I decided they were a perfect addition to sharing…
The stores have been filled with school supply sections for over a month now. It felt like summer just greeted us as it’s already time to say hello to Fall. My social media feeds slowing down on posts showing summer fun and they’re being replaced with first day of school photos. No matter if you…
Both of our little ones are creative and busy. I like to have a variety of options for them when we are out and about or when I need to keep them busy for an extra minute. Sometimes it’s toys, or things the a restaurant or office has on hand. Other times, those things aren’t…
Finding a fun activity to get creative with the whole family can sometimes be a struggle, even for us. We love getting both of our kids involved in creative activities. Finding ones that make it easy to do with both kids at the same time is sometimes a little tough though. This last weekend we took…
Fall is a favorite around here. The leaves changing from greens to yellows, oranges and reds make for such a beautiful view. Every year we collect fallen leaves and create crafts with them, it’s like an unspoken tradition around here. We find a beautiful day, head to the park with a bag, and start collecting….
My timelines are flooded by the sporatic back to school events. Some schools still have awhile, my homeschool friends are a couple weeks out or a easing in slowly and some have been back for a week or two. It feels like summers are getting shorter every year. For us though, the school year doesn’t…
It’s no secret that I love two things – encouraging my children to be creative and encouraging my children to play with an imagination. With A I’m so very that she has a fantastic imagination, as well as, loves to learn. I feel like both are incredibly important traits for her as she grows and…
There is no doubt that we love flowers, crafting and color around our home. I usually grab a fresh bunch of markdown flowers on our weekly shopping trip, we are always creating something around here and colors are just inevitable with kids and cheeriness. We also like up-cycling quite a lot too. If I can…
We love coloring here in our house. We have more coloring books than I probably even know of. We have countless Crayola crayons, colored pencils and markers like you wouldn’t believe and I’ve got a little one with a creative spirit just like her mama. It didn’t come as a surprise to me that adult…
Spring is officially here, but after weeks of Spring weather snow is definitely in our forecast this week so Mother Nature is certainly on the fritz right now here in Colorado. We’ve been spoiled with the Spring weather when it should have been snowing regularly and now I’m wishing we would have just gotten the…
I remember wishing for my first art kit growing up. I had it on my wish list for a birthday or holiday and I hoped it would be a gift I received. I received that art kit and ran my fingers across the creamy pastels, markers and colored pencils. I carefully opened and closed it…
Hey friends! Whew. What a week around here. I’ve been meaning to pop in and share this sweet little DIY that A and I did this week for Valentine’s Day and I’m just now finding a moment to get it on here. We had such fun with this sweet little project and it took no…
I’ve always loved creating. I’m not sure if my mom just always encouraged it with projects or if it was a natural thing but it’s just something that’s always excited my spirit. I love painting, sketching and coloring. I took all kinds of art classes in school because it was a good change of pace…
Handmade gifts are some of my favorite gifts to give and receive, especially now that we are parents. Last year my mom surprised us with a bird house that A painted for us and it was the best gift we got all season last year. We also know how much people love receiving gifts that our…
A few weeks ago we went to the library my mom frequents and made homemade watercolors! We originally thought we would make them and paint with them that day but we actually just made them because they had to set up for about 48 hours. Yowch. Mom fail, A was so excited about art class….but…
I love keeping recyclables on hand for quick crafting projects. Toilet Paper & Paper Towel rolls, clean egg cartons (I a very careful to make sure there isn’t any egg on the ones I keep), plastic bottles, etc. These are all great for having on hands to make fun projects out of. While finishing up…
Whew! It’s been a busy week around here but I’ll give you all those details soon, I’ve been dying to find an extra bit of time so I can share today’s project with you! We made this wreath a little over a week ago and at the time I didn’t even think of making it…
Growing up one of my favorite things about the new school year was school supplies. It was time for all new stuff and felt like an inspiring fresh start. The checklist of needed supplies for the year was a like a fun scavenger hunt as we wandered the store aisles trying to find anything and everything needed….
