A Rainbow of Beans
St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and we are enjoying some fun projects to celebrate our Irish heritage!

As a fun sensory project we colored some beans in rainbow colors for our sensory bin. Continue reading “A Rainbow of Beans”
Elderberry Tea
I don’t know about you but it seems like a lot of people I know are sick! I personally have battled a sore throat and sinus congestion all week. One of my favorite immune boosters is elderberry tea. My kids won’t take elderberry syrup, trust me I’ve tried. Although when it comes to my tea… they beg for it! This winter has seen much less sickness in our house and I know my tea is one of the reasons.
Frozen Dress-Up DIY
Have you seen the new animated movie Frozen?! My kids LOVED it! I think my girls fell so in love with the movie because of the two princesses are sisters. They enjoy pretending they are sister princesses also 🙂 This week the girls and I did some crafts that go along with Elsa’s character (the older sister) so they could play Frozen dress-up.

DIY Cat Tower
Quick update on our new addition! Yes, it is a tiny kitten not a baby 🙂 Although, I appreciate all of the congratulations and pregnancy advice! The kids finally agreed to a name… Drumroll… Gracie! We all love her, well most of her. Those tiny needle like, razor sharp claws have left their marks on us all 😦 So in an attempt to give her a place to safely scratch and ahem, dull those claws a bit we decided she needs a cat tower.

It’s winter, so the amount of outdoor play is limited. This means that I am always looking for easy projects indoors for my kids. As a winter afternoon project yesterday we made snow paint! It was fun to make and paint/play with! Continue reading “Winter Art: Snow Paint”
Lighthouses and Grandmothers
I am an artist, painting is my favorite thing to do on my own time. I am not amazing but decent and am passionate about my work. I do live worship art for big audiences, I do murals for walls, I do small pieces for fun or to sell, I paint for hire and paint for fun. I am also an art teacher, I teach a class of 20 elementary age homeschool kids one day a week. I do private lessons and run art camps in the summer. I have never shared my art on my blog before, but today I am. As usual with all of my art, there is a story to be told with this recent piece.
My Crazy Blessed Life!
