Come along on one of our evenings walks here in beautiful Colorado. Today we enjoyed a nice breeze. We took a family walk to one of the many parks. Along the way I took a few pictures. So feel free and come along on our evening walk. Enjoy~               Hope you enjoyed your walk with us. :)  

   Materials needed coffee filters paint chenille stems (pipe cleaners) wire After we made our butterflies, I used some wire and created a large ring. I attached each butterfly to the ring using some plastic craft string. We had so much fun creating and painting our butterflies.

  My daughter always serves up the best cup of tea. :) This weekend we enjoyed some tea time. She even baked some delicious cookies.       This weekend we enjoyed the rain- We sat out and enjoyed the rain, along with a nice gentle breeze.               I love rainy days! (And I'm sure my flowerbed does too) :)       I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. :)

  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 We originally made some dinosaur feet at the library but they ended up tearing.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-long...

Little fruit heads! (my husband came up with the name) Today my daughter and I made these cute little fruit heads and added them to popsicle sticks. For this craft, all you need are craft paper, glue, wiggly craft eyes, and popsicle sticks. Oh, and of course some crayons. This craft was very hands-on for my daughter. She colored each fruit once I cut them out. She also glued on the eyes, and put each of them on a popsicle stick. What a simple and cute craft. Enjoy~

We kicked back and enjoyed some live music on Friday. We first stopped off at the oh-so-delicious Cold Stone, (hey mama has a sweet tooth from time to time, haha).  I picked up my favorite scoop of ice cream, Birthday cake remix. It was delicious! We then made our way across the street where they were having live music, and sat out on our blanket, and kicked back. It was wonderful. On Saturday we enjoyed the beautiful views while we visited the downtown area of Colorado springs. We attended the Art festival and had a great time. They had such beautiful art pieces displayed. This weekend my daughter and I had some fun with clay, molding, and creating different textures. We haven't yet painted our creations, but I figure we will do that this week. I created a few more cards to soon add to my online store. (I have not opened my store yet, but I'm hoping to do so soon.) We have been experiencing changes in the weather here in Colorado. It's been raining for over a week ...

Hello Friday, it's so nice to see you. :) I hope you all have had a wonderful week. Our week has been a sweet one. My daughter and I seem to always find something new to do. There's always a new adventure, and so much to explore. Yesterday we gave her some bubbles, and we were just so proud. She has officially learned how to blow bubbles. The first time we tried she blew a few, but this time it was back-to-back bubbles being blown. Ah, those sweet precious moments. Today we went to the library (toddler time), and there we sang, danced, and read books, and played with a few blocks. Her and I, plus another little girl and her mother were the only ones that showed up. (I'm sure the holiday had a lot to do with it) Once we were home again, I made us a tasty little snack. We enjoyed some apples with some peanut butter spread. I played some classic jazz-vocal blend for us, and  set up a tiny fort with a few pillows. We grabbed a few books, along with my daughters stuffed animal...
