play creatively
Just had to pop in and share our Midsummer Maiden (from last summer’s amazing Midsummer Mingle). We couldn’t just stop at fairies so we played around with giving this gal her own proper floral crown. So fun….oh and I think I’m addicted to this. When all the flowers are gone I’ll move onto autumn leaves! …
I’ve been wanting to do something with all the flowers and green leaves that are still blooming all around us in before they all died off or changed colors for fall. So I sketched a few little friends and thought it would be fun to decorate them as little garden sprites. Last week we had some cousins over (my …
Any plans for your Labor Day Weekend (for my US friends)? We hope to go out and enjoy some of the great outdoors, play in streams, pick flowers, just enjoy this transitional weather. Maybe we’ll even take our masks along for the adventure :). Here are a few things that have been inspiring us lately: These earthy …
I’ve been thrifting a lot lately (on the hunt for an upcoming shoot) and happened upon some treasures I just couldn’t leave behind. Like this metal industrial cabinet painted the most amazing shade of yellow. It was definitely not the “hot” item at the thrift store as I got a lot of “crazy junk lady” looks when hauling …
Yesterday I wrote a bit about our love of Montessori on Instagram (we are also really getting into Reggio– a play based approach to learning with a strong emphasis on nature, and have always had a fondness for Waldorf and the emphasis natural wood play materials as well as gorgeous classrooms and playgrounds!). I recently got out all …
We had a cousin playdate last week where the girls played cat + mouse in these little paper masks. It was the sweetest thing ever. They also played dollies and ballerinas which was all too cute not to document. We used the cat and mouse mask templates from our Kids Craft Camp Animal Unit, which you …
TGIF friends! thought I’d pop in and share a few fun things that are inspiring me around the inter webs these days: first are you dressing the rainbow with Brittany? I played along and wore pale teal with her. so fun. Oh and She’s extended it for 10 days now! I need to get this children’s book …
My kids love school. Especially my oldest. But let me tell you he’s now entering the 4th grade and things just got real. We sat down and went over his homework expectations for the week (because he still thinks he can run off to the neighbors and play all afternoon/evening like he did in the summer) and …
We’re slowly getting back into gear with school. Are your kids in school yet? It’s been both exhausting, trying to get all our ducks in a row, and somewhat more peaceful trying to settle into a schedule with the boys gone for the day (No more little O coming home for lunch which I def. miss). Little Miss …
I’m crazy about our portrait unit in Kids Craft Camp. It so fun to see the kids begin to understand that pretty much everything is comprised of shapes – including faces! I started off with a demo explaining how even our faces can be broken down into shapes. I asked the kids what eyes could be (circles, …
