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?

    The learning board is a great idea, and family time in the kitchen is the best :)

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...

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 ...
