Family = unconditional love, happiness,  home, future,memories...forever

This weekend was so lovely.  Every day spent with my family is pure joy! Today we were pretty busy (since my husband is on leave) and planning for an upcoming birthday for our sweet little one. We took our daughter to Stay and play at the library, it was so much fun. We danced, sang, and read books.
After I went to my favorite place (The dentist office)...I'm kidding, really it's my least favorite place to go to, but hey we all have to keep our smiles healthy. :)
After my appointment we spent most of our day shopping for birthday decorations, and crafts.
Even though we had a busy day, I always try and fit in a craft with my daughter. Today we made puppets. I found two kits at the craft store. I couldn't pass it up, it was so cute! And we also painted some spring time tulips (So fun). How was your day spent with your family?


How beautiful a day can be
When kindness touches it!

This is a warm and friendly gathering where you can share your amazing ideas—whether it's tasty recipes, fun family activities, creative crafts, home projects, or any other joyful inspirations. If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! Hi everyone! How was your week? This week, we were blessed with more rain, and I am so thankful. It's been a hot summer with wildfires and droughts, so it's nice to have a few days to cool down a bit. Below, I've shared two photos that I posted on my Instagram story. The first one shows one of our lovely hummingbirds relaxing on the swing near the feeder. I love watching them from our dining room window. In the second photo, we had another visitor at the feeder, and the sunlight shining through the window that evening was absolutely beautiful. I'd say this week was a nice one. Congratulations  to ou...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 78

  Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #78! This party provides a platform for sharing inspiring content such as recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home decor, and other uplifting ideas.  How is everyone doing? I hope all is well with each of you! This week, the weather was beautiful. Of course, it's a tease—where we live, they call it "false Spring." I'll just enjoy it while it lasts. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, we’re taking daily walks, and the sunsets have been stunning. There’s still snow on the mountains, but we had a wonderful visit to the nature center where we admired some beautiful artwork. Congratulations to our featured bloggers - Amy from Amy's Creative Pursuits shared her "Summer Jobs Dirty Dozen Card Making" project. Be sure to visit her site to see the adorable cards she created; my personal favorite is the canning card! - Our Grand Lives posted a fantastic post titled "Baking with Littles,...
