Our week-peaceful and calm


Hello, morning sunlight...peaking through our bathroom window.


Painting and decorating sticks were gathered during our time at the park.





...preparing pizza one lovely afternoon.

Play dough fun. Creating, and learning letters. 


I've enjoyed mornings sipping coffee and catching up on some reading.

Our week was peaceful and calm. We enjoyed long walks to the park; enjoying the afternoon sun. We created art. We also spent time exploring letters, and numbers. We enjoyed some time in the kitchen. -I was inspired by a few new recipes. 
How did you spend your week? I hope you all had a wonderful week. 
Below enjoy a simple craft -Hands on for the whole family!

Little Clay Bowls.

Little clay bowls  I created these simple textured clay bowls, and I'd love it if you created some too! Take some clay and mold them into a round bowl shape. I used air-dry clay for this project.  Allow it to dry completely overnight. Then take some paint and mix a few colors together and paint each bowl.
