Last minute Thankful banner, for the classroom
There is a giant pile of burlap in my basement that I collected from a random source of authentic South American coffee bean bags. And it sits there, taunting me to make things with it. I have a thing for banners. I just love them. And I have a thing for burlap. I just want […]

For now on they will pack their own lunches

Our homemade Halloween costumes for girls

Being patient, when handwriting doesn’t come easy
Handwriting doesn’t come easy for my kindergarten-aged child. Therefore, when my middle girl spontaneously decided to make a card for dad last weekend – with a handwritten note – it was a monumental event! I protected her space, and her work, from her sisters. I informed my husband what she was doing so he knew […]
