play creatively
I wanted to do something simple and fun for Easter baskets this year that I could use over and over again. We love using our bunny nesting dolls to place little snacks and treats in and then hide away in a grand Easter hunt. This has become a special tradition for the boys and they …
After Jon and I had been married for a few years Jon’s parents went on a trip to Europe. Knowing our love of theater, puppeteering and European toys in general, they returned home with two pop-up puppets for us. I have loved having them around (as have the boys) and have often looked over at …
Little A turned six this past week and we had lots of crazy fun celebrating this fine little gentlemen on Saturday. I will share pics from the party soon but here is just a little teaser of more things to come.We also have lots of Easter crafts and sewing endeavors to share. And as Easter …
Hello friends! Sorry I have been so MIA lately. We have been sick, sick, sick. Basically every virus going around, we caught it…and one right after the other. But I’m happy to say, that we are seeming to be more or less in the clear and feeling much much better. Which is great, because I’m …

We noticed a significant increase in the drama department early on in the beginning of the year when we returned home from our holiday travels. They weren’t being creative, they didn’t really play with their toys and …
Hello friends! Will any of you be in the Provo, UT area this next Wednesday, Feb. 22 from 6:30-8pm? Well I will and would love to meet up. The lovely Jane (a.k.a, winner of the best hair at ALT – she’s the one in the middle) and Soel Botique are teaming together to host a …
Happy Valentines Day friends! How is your day going so far? Jon spelled out J+M in a heart for me with chalk on the driveway which started the day out just right. I’ve been stuffing my face with chocolates, decadent cookies and Cinnabun pancakes all week thanks to a wonderful Valentines exchange that I was …
I love my mother. She is an infinite well of creative, clever and slightly outrageous ideas. And Valentines Day is her time to shine. You wouldn’t believe the things she has done for my dad – we’re talking pouring bright red tempera paint on freshly fallen Colorado snow to spell out “I LOVE YOU!” for …
