I finally finished the star pillows set. They are well loved by all the children. The biggest one turned out ginormous! It’s like a monster starfish. Now pillows are great for laying on, but the boys mostly carry them and throw them around. That big one is bigger than Lucas, but he sure tries to […]

springy
We decided to spring-up the house yesterday. I gave the crepe paper flower garland from Oh Happy Day a try. We strung it up on our mantle. Then Milo saw some garden themed sensory box pictures on my computer with me and said we had to, just had to make one. He did a lot […]
a parade and a game
Everyone was healthy on St. Patrick’s. That is no small feat in our home. We made it to the parade and got the kids to scream and go crazy to earn their beads and candy. Lucas was dancing to the marching bands and woo-hooing at everything we woo-hoo’ed at. The weather was great too. ********* […]
Sewn Marble Maze
So, I saw this little idea here and had to give it a go with some fabric scraps I had from another project. It’s a little encased fabric marble maze. Thicker fabrics work the best. It really is fun and relaxing to guide the little marble through its path. The kids think they are great […]
continuing on with the cloud theme
I’m a theme kind of girl so here goes. These are our wee clouds and such. The kids used to hang them over our nature table, but now Milo has a suction cup on our study window and he likes hanging up the fitting weather hanging there. There have been many requests for a sun, […]
mama cloud and baby cloud
Kind of feeling like we’ve got one of those hanging over our heads. So, I thought that it was important to make some pillow props! I made one big cloud pillow and one baby one. One side is grey and the other is soft white. Milo thinks they should match the days’ weather. Today is […]
Adding to our wooden family … slowly
The grandparent additions. You know who you are.
It’s July already?
Hi all. Summer is rolling along. I can't believe it's July already. Ryan is taking a summer course so he's not home with us for a few weeks. We are trying to find some kind of summer groove, but haven't yet. We did make our first family trek to our local aquarium though. We never […]
homes
I forgot to post our spring fairy house here. So this is it. Keely requested water and an upstairs. I thought the river and a ladder would fit the bill. Then after seeing this DIY foam core doll house thingy, I thought we'd give that a go. Keely LOVES setting up houses. Usually she makes […]
us
I've seen so many cute painted peg folks out there I had to try my hand at painting us. I'm so amused with these-so is Keely. I hope to make our extended family to add to the collection too. Look! It's us in the big city. Yeah, we bring out pets with us. heh. Keely […]
