Our week.

 
This week here in Colorado the weather has been in the 90s.
The little one and I enjoyed some water/bubble play out in the back, we had such a lovely time.
She did some splashing and bubble-blowing. And of course, mommy was splashed a few times with the water. :)
 
 
 
This week we enjoyed some apples with peanut butter, and rice crackers with garlic hummus during snack time.
 
 
This week we went to the library for a craft and story, and the theme was dinosaurs. We originally made some dinosaur feet at the library but they ended up tearing. So of course, once we got home I decided we would make our own.  So now we have a little dinosaur in our home, I love it! :)
 
 
My darling husband came home from work during the week and surprised me with this lovely arrangement. I love him so much.
 
 
 
Today my daughter did some painting on her art easel, and we listened to some sing-a-longs, we also did some reading, and today's book of choice was, "The Giving Tree"-by Shel Silverstein.
 
 
 
It's been a busy day, but we made sure to take out my daughter's wooden puzzle set. She really enjoys putting it all together, and I really enjoy watching her. :)
 
So how was your week? I hope you all had a wonderful week with your loved ones.
Thank you for stopping by, have a lovely weekend.

    Ugh The Giving Tree! I am not going to lie and maybe it'se because I have a little boy.....I cried my eyes out after I read that story to my son.

    I finally understood it and couldn't believe what it was about until I read it as an adult.

    Seriously what a beautiful story!

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!)

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #89! This party provides a platform for sharing inspiring content such as recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home decor, and other uplifting  ideas. Hello everyone! I hope all is well. If you celebrated Mother's Day, I hope it was lovely. How was your week?  Our week was busy.  We had doctor appointments, finals at school, and my husband has been working on a backyard project.  I've included a collage of our week.  My youngest used my phone camera to take pictures of our blooming clematis vines—one is purple, and the other is deep pink.  My husband received a guitar from his boss at work. He now has this one along with his bass guitar.  I've only seen one hummingbird at our feeders. They're so quick; there may be more.  I've been enjoying my time out on the back covered porch. I added a few new outdoor curtains to the space.  My youngest and my husband made me homemade apple bread on...
