Family time.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.  ~Albert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays

Blue sky...Geese flying high


Snow is melting..hello sun.



Splashing in puddles on a sunny day.

Our Art night. bottle caps, straws, twisty ties, TP rolls-and more. Create, and enjoy. 

Our days-*Sunny/snowy day adventures. Long walks. Splashing in puddles. Sun-kissed skin, and enjoying our family time. Baking and preparing meals. -With pregnancy, there come a lot of changes. -I've been so sleepy, but I'm managing to stay awake with an energetic toddler.- Painting, practicing letters, puppet shows, and silly dancing. -This seems to help us get through our day. How are your days spent?

**I would like to thank those who shared in our exciting news on baby #2. Thank you all for your kind words. I appreciate it so much.- I'm managing my morning sickness, and sleep comes and goes. I'm patiently waiting for my next appointment. -We're all very excited, and I've been a little drained.**

      Kristy, thank you! I hope the snow melts quickly for you all. Our daughter absolutely loves going to the park, and so with it snowing, we haven't gone as much as we'd like. Hopefully we can all get some warmer weather soon. Thank you for stopping by. :)

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!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...

I hope you all have a beautiful weekend.  Congratulations to our featured bloggers!

Fun with popsicle sticks...and more!

Since my daughter and I didn't make it out to the library, we did our own craft, and story time. (Which in my opinion is the best) :) Today we made popsicle stick frames, with a message. It was so much fun. For this craft the materials you need are: -Popsicle sticks -Hot glue gun -Paint -Markers/crayons -Construction paper (and scissors) 1.Start off by making a frame out of your popsicle sticks. Glue the corners together. I went ahead and made a message on construction paper to glue on to the back of the frame. (You will have to cut it to fit the frame. 2.Once that is done, paint your frame. (Have fun with it!) My daughter had so much fun with all the different colors. :) 3.Now once that is finished make a T-shape out of two popsicle sticks. (This is for the stand for the back of the frame.) Glue both sticks together, and glue it to the back of the construction paper. You're all done! Now you have a cute popsicle stick frame, with a message! Enjoy~ ...

DIY Upcycled Peanut Jars

Transform your old peanut jars into stylish, functional containers with these creative and easy DIY upcycling ideas. Learn how to repurpose your peanut jars and give them a new life with practical and decorative uses.   Materials needed: Two  empty peanut containers Two sheets of crafting paper tape scissors Start  by removing the old label on your peanut containers  Next, you'll want to wrap your crafting paper around your container.  If you find that it does not completely cover the container, cut out a single strip to use later. I found it easier to wrap my containers with my craft paper and make the marks I needed before cutting them to size.  Tape your crafting paper into the container and then make necessary cuts to the paper using your scissors. Once this is done, take the last piece of crafting paper that you cut out earlier and place it over the spot that you were unable to cover. Take some clear tape and apply it to the contai...
