Time is going so quickly. Can you relate? Nothing makes you feel the years slipping by quite as much as having a high schooler. As I process my kids quickly getting older, it has me reflecting on what things I do with my time, how we interact as a family, making memories, and doing things that make our spirits full of purpose and JOY. Two things that I love are playing with my family and being in nature. There is something so special when that combination intersects. Times slows Continue Reading
Creating as a form of Therapy!
Creating has always been my therapy. It was my safe outlet as I struggled to learn to read. It was my “me time” growing up in a big family of 9 kids. It was my way to decorate my home as a newly wed. It was the way I held on to parts of me as a stay at home mom w/ 3 littles.

Art Magic is the Creative Process
Have you ever sat back and thought about the parts of your job that you really love?

This was before apps and phones became the big way to stay connected that they are today. We had a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old and were getting ready to travel the USA as part of Matt's job. One day I shared one of my crafts and thus was born the Spoonful of Imagination re-branded as a DIY blog. It was such a fun hobby/border line side gig Continue Reading
Launching a New Chapter
We started blogging a little over 10 years ago. I know for sure because we started when I was pregnant with Jeremiah who turned 10-years-old a few months ago. It all started as a way to stay in touch with our family and friends while we were spending a lot of time on the road. In between my family updates, I started posting Friday Project Spotlights as a way of sharing simple DIY craft projects for my friends to do with their kids. With no attempts to market these posts, somehow they picked up a Continue Reading
