Yesterday I shared seven gifts to give to a crafter and today we’re going to talk about gifts fora treehugger – you know, a lover of all things nature. Technically, I cannot be classified as a treehugger since I shop at IKEA, but I love nature in my house so that counts towards something, right? […]
Christmas Gifts for the Crafter
I thought it’d be fun to virtually window shop for Christmas presents, or any presents, on the blog this week. I also thought it would be fun to group said gifts into certain interests – like crafting or cooking. So today let’s start with some gift ideas for someone crafty. I like to think I’m […]
DIY Dip Dyed Bubble Wand
About a month ago we were at the Saturday Morning Market when Elijah asked me to buy him a $10 bubble wand. I had never seen one before but it was pretty cool the way it made huge bubbles almost effortlessly. It appeared to be made out of dowels and some string so for $10 […]
Nani Turns Three
Yesterday was Eliana’s birthday. This was the first year she has really grasped the concept of having a birthday, and she loved it. She would squeal with joy when anyone said “Happy Birthday” and would repeat time and time again that she is “three weers old”, making sure to show off the number 3 with […]
DIY Party Hat Decoration Station
Yesterday I shared pictures of Elijah’s birthday party but wanted to dedicate an entire post on the decorate-your-own-party-hat station. I got the idea from Oh Happy Day who you should really go check out. For supplies I used googly eyes, pretty pipe cleaners, assorted washi tape, pom poms that the kids and I made out […]
Ice Cream Birthday Party
I’ve never thrown or hosted a birthday party before, but for my son’s 10th birthday I wanted to do something special for him. Elijah was so excited, I was super nervous. Spoiler: In the end, everything turned out great. In our tiny house I set up a sundae station, a party hat decorating station, a […]
DIY Triangle Garlands
I’ve been on a garland kick lately. As in I can’t stop thinking about all the different garlands I could make and hang. My house is nearly covered in garlands, in preparation for my son’s birthday party of course, but I’m not completely sure I’ll take them down after that. I even hung garlands at […]
Picnic Playdate with Magic Fun Dough
What goes better than picnics and ants? Children and playdough, of course. So when RoseArt contacted me to review their new Magic Fun Dough, I was all game. And what better place to play with it than outside in the beautiful “fall” weather? Keep in mind, I use the term fall loosely. It may be too […]
Stinky Wood Box
You know that smell of early 20th century homes with beautiful original coffered ceilings and wood floors still in great condition? Yeah… that wasn’t the smell this box held. This was one of those old smells that should stay lost in time. Forever. Remember when I bought it from the Brocante Market? Well shortly after […]
My Little Artist
This is close to three months outdated but I couldn’t resist showcasing our youngest’s first artwork. I posted a picture on Instagram when it happened but I love the other pictures I captured. Thankfully she’s no starving artist. Shortly after this she attempted to eat any and every chalk she could get her tiny hands […]
