Raising quail with our kids has been one of the most rewarding adventures we’ve embarked on as a family! It’s brought my kids and teens to a whole new level of responsibility and enriched their understanding of the world in a way they hadn’t experienced before. I’m going to share a bit about how we…
I don’t enjoy creepy or scary things very much – they’re just not my cup of tea. But I do love adorable monsters. (Like Ludo – anyone else a Labyrinth fan?) I’ve ended up creating quite a collection of adorably fun and simple monster crafts over the years, and I thought I’d share those all with you…
Halloween is just around the corner, and with it comes hours and hours of creative dress-up play. Whether or not you love Halloween (creepy costumes just aren’t my thing!), it’s a natural time to let kids use their imagination to be transported to another time or place where they are someone, or something, else.A simple…
Here’s a little peek into my papercraft design process. You can see it doesn’t always go perfectly! This is a papercraft cupcake I was working on, and the top ended up being way too flat. So it’s back to Illustrator to make some tweaks. Sometimes it takes a few iterations to get the printables just right. Link…
It’s been one of those weeks where it feels like there’s more to do than there are hours to get it done (anyone relate?). But I’ve been slowly accumulating some fun and interesting links I’ve found. It’s a bit of an eclectic mix, but you might find something that inspires or interests you! Play a…
I’ve been on the search for the perfect barbecue sauce for a while now. “Perfect” for us means something husband and boys won’t react to (finding food they don’t react to sometimes seems like an impossible task). It needed to be nightshade free, so not tomato based. I tried the bbq sauce recipe from The Paleo Approach Cookbook but it’s very high in FODMAPs which Tim and the boys react to – in this case a huge concentration of apple and onion.
I’m so honored to be guest posting today over at Little Girl Designs. Jennie’s blog is one of my favorites craft blogs to visit (she makes the cutest things!). Today I’m talking about how to put together your own letter writing kit. You can head on over to read about it here…
I have a simple and creative card making tutorial for you today. I’ve enjoyed making cards since I was little. My mom would buy fun scrapbook paper, scissors, and embellishments and let me have fun designing things. This love has continued into adulthood. But, as I’m sure you know, pretty paper and material costs can add up fast. I found an easy trick that helps me to create beautiful, unique cards without breaking the bank.
This year for my birthday I asked for some money to pick out clothes. I had a particular brand in mind, as I’ve been interested in narrowing down my closet to only clothes I love to wear. I looked into buying directly from the brand’s website, but they were a little pricey. Well, not really pricey, but when I’m used to buying things for $.50 at garage sales or a few dollars at thrift stores, it was way more than I wanted to spend. I enjoy finding […]

I have a confession…I haven’t gotten into Doctor Who yet.
I’ve been hearing good things about it for a while. It’s on my list of things to watch when I have a chance. My cousin loves Doctor Who, so I decided to make her a canvas painting of the TARDIS for Christmas […]
