February. Lately


“New day, new hopes, new life!!” 
― Lailah Gifty Akita



Our home is filled with so much love.-Sweet baby kisses, giggles, hugs and moments I just realize how much I truly love my family.  We put up a love banner and a few Valentine's window clings. - I sure can feel the love. :)


Discovery bottles: Glitter, letter beads, buttons, starfish shapes, fish shapes, and shells!

 We absolutely love our discovery bottles. When I first made these fun bottles our oldest daughter was a wee one. This week we decided to make a few more. I'm sure her little sister will enjoy them as much as she does. :)



Our learning board. It includes the month, day, season, and weather. We start our morning using this board. I actually put this board together some time back. 





We've been working on using scissors more. Our oldest started using them some time back. She's getting better and enjoying cutting pictures out on her own.


This week we have been working on the letter A. Each week is a new theme. We're enjoying this theme so much. Our daughter was so proud, she made A's all over her paper!


Preparing meals as a family.- Honestly, I wish we could prepare meals as a family all the time. But of course, we have our days when things are just so hectic. So I really enjoy the times when things are calm and we can enjoy these simple moments in the kitchen together.

How's life treating you? How are your days spent with your family?

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...

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...
