play creatively
We thought now was a great time to celebrate home (and Staying Home amidst this crazy time for our health and the health of others). So we made a simple printable house that you can download and decorate! We used the back of a cereal box for the shingles, shutters and stepping stones. Then decorated …
Miss Milla and I had some creative fun today decorating faces with scraps of fabric, yarn, buttons and other trimmings. (We used old ripped clothing – so no going to the store ☺️). We already have ideas for using other decorating items such as flowers, leaves and even pasta noodles! So simple but endlessly entertaining. …
We made this butterfly craft today and had a lovely time of it. So simple and rewarding to put together. How fun would it be to pass these out as Love Bug Valentines as well? Just write a little note on the back. You could even add a candy stick or smarties instead of the …
I love a DIY Christmas gift that the kids can join in on the making. And this shoe box dollhouse is just that. Simple, budget friendly and packed with lots of handmade fun. This project is part of a collaborative effort to spread the love of handmade gifts with 11 other crafty makers. From December …

We put together a last minute clown costume for Milla the other day – recycling kraft paper for the hat and coffee filters for the collar. I’ve made a lot of clowns over the years and I love it so much I think I could do a few more even. They can be simple or …
We had a little Miffy birthday party for Milla who turned seven. It was simple and fun – which was just what we needed with so much going on in our lives right now. And because it worked so well, I have have a new formula for pulling off a memorable birthday without the overwhelm: …
Hi friends. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve popped in over here. I was so hoping that after feeling sick for months I’d be able to drop in with a baby bump and say “surprise!” But that’s not how things worked out. I recently miscarried (our second one this year). And after some …
Enjoying the last weeks of summer and free play (and her new peg rail in her room! – how did we live without it?). We’re also getting every last second we can out if this toddler bed. In the works of designing her a new twin bed that I’m so excited about but am hesitant …
