Cap and Gown Graduation Lollipops
Every year I like to challenge myself to come up with some new and cute, but fun and edible way for my daughter and her classmates to celebrate year end. Our final days of grade 2 turned into a bumpy ending and most non necessities had to go. But because of our fight to get thru the year, despite unforeseen challenges, I also felt all the more compelled to celebrate. Continue reading Graduation Cap and Gown Lollipops
We love spending time with our family up in Sechelt and nothing beats time at the beach. But one particular stormy day at the beach, got the creative juices flowing. Our children are always on the look out for beach glass and cool shells. So my incredibly talented and creative sister-in-law came up with the fantastic idea that we collect beach gems to create our own fridge magnets! Continue reading Easy West Coast Fridge Magnets
I have had visions all week of sitting down today, with a few hours to myself and writing uplifting and happy tutorials. But I can’t, I just simply can’t, because this is how my day has gone thus far… Continue reading Messy Weekend Mornings!!!
Blissful sleep.
Then groggily waking to four kids (my two, plus their cousins), I inquire, Continue reading 4 Kids for The Weekend
So my life is busy. Just like everyone else. And yet I jumped at the opportunity to help create a multi purpose space in one of the portables at my daughter’s school (yes I can see and/or hear you all shaking your heads in horror for volunteering willingly for such a huge project). But I love design that much and I also love (flying head first into) a challenge and nothing is more fun than decorating for kids!! Continue reading How to Create a Reading Corner
This is a fairly simple cookie, that goes over well on earth day, or anytime you feel the need for ‘I heart the earth’ cookies. I suppose there is never a wrong time to show the earth some love! These cookies are simple enough to make, that one should walk away with same level of sanity they began with (sadly, I can not say that for every recipe or project I embark on). But these cute cookies are easy and they tend to make an annual appearance for Earth Day around here.
Here is a snap shot into what it is like to spend a day with a four year old, through my side of the conversation on the following notable matters: Continue reading A Day in The Life of a Four Year Old
I immediately fell in love with this silhouette of a little girl holding balloons, which are actually records. I thought it was such an adorable idea for a wall. I knew I wanted something with some musical inspiration for the space I was working on, and when I found this on Pinterest, I knew right away what I was going to do! Continue reading Musical DIY Little Girl Silhouette with Records as Balloons
I have seen many versions of delightful storybook and literary sign posts floating around Pinterest for years and have of course wanted to make my own for ages. But really our place is done, there is not an inch to spare. But when I took on the challenge of turning a portable at my daughter’s school into a fun and inviting multi purpose space, I knew I finally had just the excuse I needed!! Continue reading DIY Literary Themed Sign Post
A plethora of soft, beautiful, stuffed rocks piled this way and that, in a big tumbling pile, is what I was picturing in the reading corner with my DIY rock pillows. Kids lounging and reading on large rock pillows and tossing little rocks (pillows) at each other. And now the time had finally arrived to make this happen because I have been longingly feasting my eyes on gorgeous felted rock pillows for far too long. Continue reading D.I.Y Rock Pillows
