Luv and I are always looking for crafts to do together. So she was beyond excited when she saw a new mini crate from Kiwi Crate on our doorstep![*] Showing someone you love them is easy with the Felt Flowers mini crate. It comes with supplies to make a sweet little bouquet. I let Luv take the crafting reigns and had her read the instructions … [Read more...]
A couple of months ago, I posted about making decorative pillows out of placemats. To further explain how to do it, I made an instructional video! Have you tried making these placemat pillows yet? I'd love to hear how they turned out and see pictures even! … [Read more...]
Keeping little ones entertained is, certainly, a task that is much easier said than done. When you add in the fact that many older siblings want to do, well, “big kid” activities – such as painting, cutting, and gluing – and you could, very well, end up getting yourself into an entire day’s worth of mess making.

I was looking around the family room of the retirement home we bought, and my eye caught a glass bowl that I had filled with pine cones before Christmas.

I pulled out my … [Read more...]

This is around the time of year we ease into a state of hibernation. Which means I need to boost my arsenal of indoor activities for Charlie. Kiwi Crate has just the thing for … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago I posted about how I have a passion for painting. Well I have ventured into oil paints now, and I wanted to share my latest creations with you! In this one the lake is kind of "off", but I still like it: Which is your favorite? … [Read more...]
I don't know how it began, really, but all of a sudden I am painting! I am horrible at drawing, so this comes as a big surprise to me how much I enjoy it and how I am getting better each day! I actually started painting a few months ago, when I discovered that I enjoyed making home decor items for our new vacation home. I bought a few small bottles … [Read more...]
DIY Home Decor Since I have been spending every other weekend at the lake home, I have been having a blast making my own decor. I forgot how much I love doing crafts and how relaxing it is to listen to music and let the creative juices flow. I recently posted about making pillows out of placemats, and I have made several more to match the … [Read more...]
Make your own throw pillows! When I first started buying decor for our new home, I was astounded (and not in a good way) at how incredibly expensive throw/decorative pillows are! I need quite a few for the bedrooms, couches, etc. and just cannot fathom spending anywhere from $25 to $65 for a pillow to match my decor. I have been looking in … [Read more...]
