So, you know that paper-bowls-for-preschoolers post I was going to write yesterday before my mommy rambles took over? Well, here it is. This project was completed during R's last sick day with that malevolent belly bug that violently traipsed its way around our home. It's an easy project that generates delicate paper displays -- both the… Continue reading a preschooler’s paper bowl

DIY Princess Glitter Globes
Dare I say that I think our home is finally purged of stomach buggies? It's been one rough week since our return from NY. After K began mending, I took her place as the sick-pukey-cranky baby-mommy.

She wanted to… Continue reading Doughing It Holiday Style
Sand Foam!
This was a fun one -- and super feelsy. Raya and I took to her treehouse (luckily the bobcats had vacated!
