All Things Made With Love By Emily Levenson
If there’s one thing we have a lot of in this house, it’s art, so finding new ways to use it is always a priority. These dot note cards are a really fun way to put their artwork to use and create some magical (and practical) creations. /se If there’s one thing we have a lot of in this house, it’s art. The kids love to paint and make collages, so we are always swimming in paper. The problem is, not everything is fridge or frame worthy so it just sits in a pile collecting dust. In the past, I…
I’m really looking forward to shaking things up in 2023 and trying my hand at 52 different crafts. Follow along with me as I embark on a new project aptly named, Project: 52. If you know me at all, you know I love a good project to dive into. Case in point: The 100 Day Project (and here). (I’ve done it for like eight years running.) Before that, I ran several iterations of something I lovingly called Project: Miracles (all about the power of gratitude journaling based on the book Make Miracles in Forty Days* by Melodie Beattie) and Project:…
Using a grand total of 3 ingredients that you already have at home, DIY eye glass cleaner is so easy to make that you’re going to kick yourself for not doing it sooner. One of my biggest pet peeves is dirty eye glasses. You know, the kind of dirt and grease that requires actual eye glass cleaner to fix and not a microfiber cloth or end of your shirt. With a baby who loves to grab the glasses off of my face and put her hands all over the lenses, I have had more than my fair share of dirty…
If you’re looking for easy sewing projects to make FOR or WITH your littles, I’ve got you covered. Here are five kid-friendly sewing projects I’ve done and loved and would do again in a heart beat. I have always been enamored by sewing. When I was in high school, my favorite sewing projects included scouring the racks for jeans at the local thrift store and then sewing in patchwork panels down the side and turning every pair I could find into bell bottoms. I even went so far as to have my great aunt, who was a professional seamstress, teach…
Looking for an easy craft that even those self-described as craft impaired can make? These big paper stars from lunch bags are the ticket. Easy to make and oh so satisfying, you’re gonna want to decorate your whole house with them. The Big and I made big paper stars from lunch bags today. When we saw a video of this being done for the first time, we both let out a gasp of delight. We knew that this was on our must-do list and made sure it was in our rotation ASAP. We have a feeling it will be on…
Looking for new ideas when crafting with kids? Here are 7 fun projects that we have tried and loved to add to your must-do list. It’s hard to believe that we’ve been crafting daily for the last 3 weeks now. The only reason I know this is true is because of the piles of crafty goodness that are strewn throughout the house. Some of it’s in the kitchen, others are downstairs in The Big’s play area, and more still is sitting on the edge of the kitchen table waiting for a new home. Why do you care about any of…
Tap into your imagination and create your own magical world of people or fairies with this free download for pocket people. Created by The Big, at age 5, with pride. The Big has been obsessed with fairies for the last year or so. It started with watching Tinkerbell and then hit full throttle a little while later after seeing fairy gardens online.

After our initial burst…
