Looking for a fun way to paint and create beautiful abstract art? Then you have to try your hand at smush painting. This is a great one for kids (and adults) of all ages. We are almost two weeks into our 100 Day Project and I have to say that smush painting have been one of our favorites so far. What are smush paintings, you ask? They are a style of painting where you lay blobs of paint onto paper then cover it with wax paper and SMUSH the paint down to create beautiful abstract paintings. The Little even got…

Looking for some tried and true craft projects to do with your kids? Here are seven of our favorite kids crafts to add to your must-do list. We are officially one week into our 100 Day Project and about 9 days into social distancing slash voluntary quarantining due to COVID-19.

It’s also a cost effective alternative to buying fancy hand soaps. I don’t remember what got me onto the homemade bath and beauty product bandwagon, but I am on it hardcore.
