I love doing daily crafts with my daughter. It is fun to see what she can do & to come up with new ideas together. There are days when I can’t think of anything. I get a sort of crafter’s block. Luckily for me, when I can’t think of anything, my daughter weighs in her own […]
September is upon us. Next week we say goodbye to August and inch that much closer to autumn. The fall decor is already in the stores. There are a ton of pumpkins, items adorned with leaves and ears of Indian corn. My daughter was very curious about the Indian corn. “Can you eat it, mama?” […]
Last night I took the dog for a walk around our yard. While we were walking, I could not help but notice how many acorns were on the ground. There were so many perfect little acorns. I began to pick them up & before I knew it I had an armful. I thought my daughter & I […]

My daughter loves going through our kitchen cabinets. She pulls out different boxes & likes to set up pretend shops. Today she dragged out several boxes of Jell-o & all of my boxes of herbal teas. She was sniffing each box of tea & telling me what she thought they smelled like. “Let’s have a […]
