Paper plates are key for keeping my sanity…both in the kitchen and in the art room! Do you consider paper plates part of your parent survival kit? I know I do! Not long ago I had a parent ask me how I keep it all together. I told her I don’t! I always feel like…
April showers bring May flowers! We have had exactly ONE spring shower so far, but I’ll take it! Spring started late for us this year and I can’t wait for flowers and green grass to spring up all around us. Until we get some more showers, though, we are working on some spring-inspired art! Supplies:…
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Bounty. The opinions and text are all mine. Time for some preschool color theory! I love doing art projects with my kids, especially messy art! I’m very process-driven which means I value the process of making art more than the outcome. What that means…
Is it spring yet?? Quite honestly, I am done with snow and ready to embrace all the spring showers! My kids love puddle jumping, and wet pant hems are much better than below freezing temps and being stuck indoors all day. Let’s get started with rainy day activities!

Who else plans on sitting at the kids’ table during the big game today? Just me? I’m cool with that. I am NOT a football fan. I would much rather be sitting with the kid doing arts and crafts than watching the game. Today I was struck with some very last-minute inspiration when I saw…

It’s the time of year to show thanks… No, it’s not Thanksgiving. It’s the day after Christmas. Since we live a couple thousand miles away from family, we’re making thank you cards to show our appreciation of their thoughtfulness this Christmas. I wanted to send fun kid-made thank you cards for them using recycled artwork,…
It’s turkey time! Well, almost. We are a couple weeks out and I’ve got turkey on the brain. Not because I look forward to eating it (I’m actually a vegetarian am not tempted to eat even a morsel of turkey. I’m all about those mashed potatoes and pie, though!). The reason I have turkey on…
What do you love about pumpkins? Pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin spice lattes? What pumpkin treat is your favorite? I am going to have to hands-down say pumpkin pie is my fave. I also love pumpkins for another reason (besides the delicious food it provides). I love pumpkins because they are the non-scary component of…
What do you do with mini pumpkins? At the grocery store I came across these cute mini pumpkins. I usually pass them by and just go for the bigger, carvable pumpkins. I mean what are mini pumpkins for other than decor? Can you even carve them? I thought and thought and realized that at 2…
