Holidays

With Saint Patrick's Day approaching, I wanted to brighten up the house with some fun decorations. I realized, however, that I had absolutely no Saint Patrick's day themed decor at all! So, together with my daughter, we set out to create a simple Saint Patrick's day wreath. We have a set of small doors leading into our homeschool, and we thought it would be the perfect way to add a splash of color to this space - so we actually made two! One for each door. This project is super simple. Most of the materials we...

Aren't celebrations and holidays just the best when you homeschool? They're the perfect opportunity to mix things up, add a little spice, and create lasting memories with your children! This year, for Valentine's Day, we made our Valentine's Day no-sew heart pillows, and now we are going to show you how to make a colorful, enjoyable, and totally unhealthy snack of Valentine's Day cookies and floats. Now, don't judge! We don't do this too often! But every once in a while, it's fun to put together a fun snack that you can incorporate into your...

There's something special about giving a gift that you've made yourself. It shows that little extra effort, the extra thought, and extra time. As with any creation that you have made, it is giving a piece of yourself to another person, and being vulnerable to criticism. It doesn't always have to be a herculean effort to convey your feelings, though. Today, because Valentine's Day is around the corner, and because we have been doing so much paper sloyd, we are going to show you an extremely simple paper folding craft. We are going to...

This New Year's Eve I worked at the hospital, bring new babies into the world. We paused at midnight and shared a toast with some sparkling apple cider in styrofoam cups. Super classy. When I had time for a break, I was able to sit down and read all of the texts sent to me from friends around the world. It struck me that everyone was celebrating New Year's with different traditions, some of which had me laughing out loud. There are many fun and unique ways to ring in the New Year, every country with its...

It was about a month ago that we introduced you to our new, loveable pet hamster, Desirée. She joined our family as gift to Luci for her birthday, and has been charming us ever since. We have learned a lot since our first introduction, about hamsters, and how to help Desirée live her best life. Over the Christmas holidays, our little hamster was especially spoiled with big and creative gifts, delicious food and lots of play time. Desi Goes Glamping Desi likes the finer things in life. While we would have loved to take her on...

A couple of years ago, my very-talented sister sent me a home-made wood slice ornament for Christmas. It's one of my very favorite ornaments because it's gorgeous, and it reminds me of the mountains and my visit with her. I loved this ornament so much that I wanted to make more of them with my children, for our own tree, as well as to give away as gifts. Making our own ornaments and other Christmas crafts is a way for our family to relax together and bond. Gathering around the table in the evening, crafting with...
