We’ve lived in our house for about 18 months now, and I finally feel like one room is just the way I like it. So that either means that my two-year-old is my favorite child. Or it means his room looked like this when we bought the house (neon aqua walls?!) From girly tween to toddler boy… He’s [...] Happy New Year! Thanks to all of you–my dear readers–for reading my blog and following my tutorials and leaving comments that say nice things. You brighten my day. Thank you! We are starting off the year with Paint-Alongs! Have you ever wanted to give painting a try, but didn’t want to invest in a whole set of [...] If you know me well, you know that I love lists. I make lists for everything (this goes back to my high school year book days where list-making was mandatory).

We spend time together — singing, praying, teaching our children about Jesus, eating yummy treats, and usually playing a game of some sort. Family Night keeps our faith strong. And it’s fun. We share the responsibilities… Which means [...] We had cousins come for a visit. They had fun exploring the new house and yard. One morning, we thought it would be good to go for a walk… but, as it turns out, it wasn’t that great of an idea. Even at 9am in August is just too hot. So we came home and made [...] My boys love to play outside. Back in January, we upgraded our backyard plastic slide for a real fort (Thanks, Jon!). This is the view from the back door, standing on the deck. The boys run off the deck, through the trees, and up the ladders. Cooper is not interested in the fire pole, but Max loves it. [...] My life needed a little Valentine something and so I made this little paper heart garland. Now, I know garlands are hot right now and self explanatory. But I made a tutorial anyway. So here’s my contribution to the garland trend… HOW TO MAKE A PAPER HEART GARLAND 1. Gather supplies. I used brown kraft paper scraps, doilies, [...]  |
