I’m good at some things. Making small talk is not one of those things. Lucky for me, though, I’m married to the Master of Small Talk (aka Chris). He is so good at talking to people and making them feel comfortable. Example: During our recent T-ball days, he was the one who was instant friends with all [...] Max made his valentines this year for his preschool class. He directed the entire project – I tried my best to follow orders. Max wanted me to draw a T-rex on each one. But… my T-rex skills are a little rusty and so I asked him what his second choice was. Dinos with long, long necks. Ok. [...] We recently celebrated a birthday at our house (how did my little guy grow up to be TWO?!). I like to make at least one of the gifts for birthdays. Here’s what I came up with for my two-year-old: A fishing game made of felt. I know this is not a new idea, but I had [...] This might be a little late, but I’m sharing anyway. I used this table setting at our Easter Brunch but it would work with any spring or garden party. The nest is made out of marshmallow and All Bran cereal. A few weeks back, our friend invited me and the boys to make these darling chicken cupcakes. They [...] As you know, I have a baby on the way so I thought it’d be fun to have a few weeks of baby-related tutorials (at least for me, haha!). Katie Kortman of Blue-Eyed Freckle is the genius behind this ruffle bottom onesie tutorial. She has so many great ideas and is such an artistic and fashionable girl! [...] I have two little buddies who work along side me in the art room. They both love projects. They have their own bucket of supplies – tape, markers, crayons, scissors, glue. We like to listen to our Elizabeth Mitchell radio station on Pandora while we work. This kiddo prefers to work on the floor so he can [...] I have two little kiddos who love to make things. They draw and paint and color. Most of the time I’m working int he studio, they are there too working on their own projects. So, we have a LOT of kiddo creations around the house. I hate to file them away somewhere so I came up [...] I know I’m a little late on this post, but I’m still going to share! For Valentine’s Day this year, I kept it simple. I drew a few cheesy valentines on smallish pieces of paper (I think they were about 2.5″ by 4″) with my trusty Sharpie. Then I left my almost-four-year-old with his markers at [...] Hooray for Tutorial Tuesday! Still January = still posting tutorials about letter writing. When I was in elementary school, I did some kind of summer class at the library and that is where I learned how to write with invisible ink. Thankfully, I tested out my memory of how to do this and it worked. So I [...] Remember these notebooks I have for sale in my etsy shop? Have you ever wondered what you might use them for? I have a new idea for you: Jenny ordered 7 dino notebooks to use as party favors for her son’s first birthday. How great is that!? The party colors are blue and green so I stuck [...]  |
