A couple of weeks ago we made a couple of whale crafts. During both crafts my daughter commented on how the shape of the whale looked like a plane. As I looked at it, I thought “You know she is right.” It does kind of look like a plane. Since then I have been wanting […]
A few weeks ago we took our daughter to the movies to see ‘Inside Out’. I cried, my daughter laughed & we all left the movie happy. After the movie, my daughter insisted that we all call her Joy after the main character. She wanted to wear green every day & asked people what they […]

This little xylophone is cute & colorful and only took us a few minutes to make. Here’s how… Hold your child’s foot vertically & […]
We have been packing up our house this month to prepare it for being put on the market. We only have a couple of weeks left to get our house ready, so we have to clear as much of the clutter as possible. I have had to pick & choose which craft materials I can store & […]
