I am often asked about the emphasis I put on arts & crafts in our home. I get teased by friends and family about the abundance of craft supplies & projects all over the house. I get poked at that I must have too much time on my hands. I know that some do not understand […]
Buttons, buttons, buttons…my daughter is just crazy for buttons. Whether it is using them in sensory play, selling them in her pretend button store or doing crafts with them she loves them.

One of the most memorable characters from Cars is Tow Mater. In my daughter’s eyes all pick-up trucks are him. We go through […]
This time last year, we made pasta skeletons for Halloween. I just re-shared it on Instagram last week. One of my Instagram friends recommended that I make a Q-tip skeleton.
