play creatively
One of my all time favorite online (and now in print!) kids magazine, Babiekins, asked me to create a kids craft for their current issue! I could not have been more thrilled.

A big thank you to all of you that were able to make it out the the final Mer Mag + Gap Kids craft event this past weekend! Looking at all the photos of your little shining stars just makes me so happy. I simply love what they have created. And if you missed this …
I don’t know what it is about this last craft for Gap Kids, but I’m just over the moon about these animal character badges. I’m loving the badge/button/award trend going on and Gap Kids Military Prep clothing is perfect for this. Or put it on any of these fantastic backpacks or a jacket from the …

This Saturday your little shining all stars will be making their very own custom journal! I love the idea of getting your kids into journal writing at an early age. My …
