DIY Fold-up Stage
Our girl Paisley has been a 'performer' since she was a wee toddler, and I've always thought it would be so fun to build a stage or 'theatre' in our house somewhere for her to share all her plays, concerts, and magic shows. This wasn't an option in our old house, but after we moved into our enormous historic home, I've been plotting to make a blank wall in our basement into a stage! Doesn't ... [ Read More ]
Lined Drawstring Backpack Tutorial
Every time we go to the park, or for a hike, or to the zoo (or really anything away from home), my kids always ask me to carry their stuff. They find beautiful rocks that they value deeply but don't want to carry. Or their water bottle is too heavy, so naturally they want me to carry it. I could go on and on. Anyway! I've been planning on making each of the girls a lined drawstring backpack ... [ Read More ]

4-Year-Old Gift Guide
Our girl turned 4 last week, and I just CAN'T. Something about my youngest going from 3 to 4 feels like I'm losing my baby. I know she'll always be my baby... blah blah blah. But age 4 definitely seems more big-kiddish. And the moment she starts calling it an 'umbrella' instead of 'Gumbrella' I will seriously lose it. Despite her Birthday being in February, Cypress decided LAST FALL she ... [ Read More ]

Here's what you need Snow day (bored kids) and ... [ Read More ]
