  • DIY PRAYER BEADS

    It is a smidge bit ridiculous how much I love this little project. From watching Mya intricately color each wooden bead to holding the tangible finished product in my hand, it is…

  • DIY SEEK-N-FIND TUBE

    Confession: Everytime I was in the Home Depot hardware aisle, I had always wanted a reason to buy this Everbilt clear container. I was quite sure there were endless possibilities for its…

  • DIY KID ABSTRACT PAINTING

    A couple weekends ago, Mya had a 102 degree temperature and a faucet for a nose. (You’re welcome for that visual.) The weather was beautiful– a whopping 60-something degrees in February– and we…

  • “COLOR YOUR HEART OUT!” VALENTINES

    On Monday night, my Mama mind blipped and I thought Mya’s Valentines’ Day party was the next morning. Last year we used crayons to make valentines and it was inexpensive and fun.…

  • DARBY SMART: DIYs for EVERYONE

    DISCLAIMER: This is a sponsored post brought to you by Darby Smart. The opinions are 100% my own.  My least favorite part of any project is gathering all the supplies. Don’t get…

  • GLOW JAR

    This is by far the easiest little activity you will ever do in your life. Mya loves a good glow stick dance party, so we added a few more ingredients to make…

  • SALAD SPINNER PAINTINGS

    Am I the only one that wants it to snow a boatload? I just want to get out and play in some snow! But I digress… “Salad spinner paintings” are exactly what you think. We…

  • HEARTS and CRAFTS

    Valentine’s Day is less than a month away. Call me a sap, but I’ve always liked this holiday– not because of the stereotypical chocolates and vibrant reds, but because it’s a…

  • CRAYON HEART VALENTINES

    Recently, Mya hasn’t wanted to leave the house. “Stay home” is her most common demand. The cold weather makes it pretty easy to stay in and play, but we’ve been “forced”…
