Has Encanto been on repeat at your house too!? My Reagan has easily seen the movie over a dozen times. If we are honest though, I love it too. A movie about family, gifts, color, helping others, culture, and community is a magical mix! We've listened to the soundtrack, watched the movie and now crafted to its theme! If you're a fan of it too, we'd love to share an inspirational project for your Encanto loving artist! If you treat this project like the movie's theme, "the miracle is not Continue Reading
It’s winter, so let’s build a snowman!
We've been enjoying a winter storm here in Indiana. The kids are going on day three of school moving from in person to e-learning for the amount of snow we have had. They estimate we have had more than a foot of snow in 48 hours. Our family has been able to get out and walk, play, and even scrap the driveway a time or four now. Although we love the outdoor play, we have had more indoor play as well. It got us thinking that others might be looking for some indoor fun too. We thought Continue Reading

Squeeze One More Project Out of Your Old Paint Bottles
If you paint or have a child that likes to paint, you probably have gone through some paint bottles, right!? For years and years, I have just thrown these little bottles out when they seem to be empty. Now that we have an art studio, we have flown through the paint at crazy fast speeds. Its been so exciting to see others create, but I have thought on several occasions "I wonder what else we could do with these bottles to get more of our money out of them!?" One day it hit me like a lightning Continue Reading
