A blog about crafting, cooking, living, and believing.
Every month or two we get together with a group in our neighborhood for a craft/family night. The moms & kids come over around 4:00 and we create something fabulous. Then the dads join us after work for dinner. It has been so much for …
I have a fun new painting technique to share with you and your toddlers! Chickadee loves painting both with her fingers and paintbrushes, but to be honest it always gets a little messy. Bring in the power of the pom pom. This new painting tool …
When we were looking for a house last year, I had a few things on my “Must-Have” list: a family friendly neighborhood, at least 4 bedrooms, an open kitchen and A PLAYROOM. I lived the first 18 months of Chickadee’s life with our living room …
***So I have noooo idea why the internet fairies decided to send out a comment response as a post yesterday, sorry about that. I you wanted to know the kind of sausage I used in this one pot recipe, it was Hillshire. I double checked …
Yall, can I be honest for two seconds. I really haven’t felt like blogging lately. I’m not sure why, maybe I just needed some inspiration. Okay…two seconds over because well, I got some inspiration. Chickadee loves going to the mailbox. She is so cute carrying …
We have been doing a lot of crafts lately. From Halloween to Christmas is such a fun time of year and with little folks around there are crafts galore! This one isn’t anything new…salt dough recipes run rampant on Pinterest, but I’ve used this recipe …
How much fun it was to decorate a NEW house! I absolutely LOVE decorating for Christmas and honestly am thinking of starting a new trend where the house is decorated from November to February. Who is with me? This year I got to decorate the …

A few weeks ago we had our playgroup over for a little Fall craft fun! I absolutely LOVE creating with their little hand and foot prints. It creates fabulous art but also captures their little prints at this current time in life. They are a …
Have you ever thought about some of the things you now do on a daily basis, but at one point you had to learn how to do it? Example: pass a button through a hole. For a toddler, this is no easy task…it takes practice …
I don’t do a whole lot of Halloween specific decorating. It’s my own laziness really. I tend to stick to decor that is more all Fall encompassing. Pumpkins, mums, fall leaves, and burlap…lots of burlap. This way I can decorate September 1st and it will …
Yall I am slacking around the new house. Blame it on the new baby, the lack of sleep, the almost 22 month old running around, and the fact that I’m scared to make decisions about where to hang anything because it seems so permanent. We …
This post is long overdue, you can’t exactly tell, but it’s from Christmas. Fortunately, it’s an always relevant topic! My mom ALWAYS made us write thank you notes. I have vivid memories of packing thank you notes in our bags we packed for Christmas so …
Chickadee is soaking up SOOOO much information lately. Her verbal understanding far outweighs her verbal communicating ability, so she makes for a good listener :) At least when she wants too. My mom gave her a shape and color puzzle and over the last week …
