It’s very cold outside so we are having some fun

It’s very cold outside so we are having some fun inside with our tent. Lots of books, cuddles and snacks...The cat is determined to make it his house.. and is refusing to leave.

Walking into 2021 with caution but also a lot of hope. What are some habits or things you will happily continue from 2020?
.
I’ll keep: family walks, trying new recipes, things that make my soul happy, book club, real breakfast, cycle, yoga and lots of time outside together. Daily creative practice or at very least weekly.
.
.
Leaving: doom scrolling, negativity, introverted hermit lifestyle among other things that don’t matter far farrrrrrr behind.

A little gloomy day holiday toddler craft after a

A little gloomy day holiday toddler craft after a doctors appointment this morning. Our yard is a giant rain puddle which will be fun tomorrow and we took a very long long nap this afternoon. I made a Christmas tree she can decorate, it’s cut contact paper into a tree and taped it to the window and I cut little ornament shapes with paper scraps I had in a drawer. Easy entertainment!

Sonny really enjoyed painting her salt dough ornam

Sonny really enjoyed painting her salt dough ornament! We will be making some more soon! We painted it over two days. We did the green in a zip lock bag and let it dry overnight and then the “lights” with q-tips and washable non-toxic finger paint. Swipe to see! We did get paint on the carpet and her.. but it came right out. It was worth the mess to see how happy she was with herself! I like using @crayola paint at this age because it’s so easy to clean up and safe! My daughter has 100 percent eaten some paint. 😂

I made some salt dough ornaments today for my Daughter to paint tomorrow. I love to use them on our tree, on presents or to decorate with. I’ve tried different recipes over the years and this one was the best by far! I flipped them and baked them a extra 20 minutes to really dry them out. Tomorrow should be a lot of fun having my toddler paint some. I’m so excited to introduce her to fun holiday crafts and actual art as she gets older! Experience over result! Practice over perfection! Cherish the kids hard work!

Having all the feelings while we decorate today...

Having all the feelings while we decorate today...Our holiday cards are ordered, our simple gift list of things to make/ buy for friends & family are done. 2020 has been painfully hard for everyone, I’m looking forward to it being over and hopeful for 2021. We are a family of small business owners and we always try to shop small to support local. Give small with much love.

This week for our art time we made some mess free

This week for our art time we made some mess free toilet paper roll bats 🦇 to use for decorating as we enter Fall and Halloween!
.
Steps for our two day project: 1. First day I cut out wings and the tops for the ears.
.
2. I just put them in a giant plastic bag with the black crayola finger paint we had and had my toddler shake it!
.
3. I pulled them out and let them dry overnight.
.
4. The next day I put tape on each wing and we used adhesive eyes.
.
5. While she napped I used school glue to secure the wings.
.
Thoughts: Older children could make a mouth & feet as well or the entire thing out of construction paper. Also don’t leave your toddler alone with yummy tiny eyes.. Everything goes in the mouth to try to eat.
.
Final result:
When she woke up from nap we played Batman soundtracks and read some Fall books. She really enjoys making it fly around and I’m sure she will love it to literal pieces in a few days. We will be making lots of them to decorate for Halloween!

As someone who was a tomboy most of her life.. let me say a little lipstick, bronzer and mascara can be a real mood booster! My staircase light is also perfection! Please don’t be fooled though.. most days I have the stay home Mama/ artist starter look: top knot, no makeup, t-shirt and leggings (probably with paint and ink stains) on. It’s a special occasion now if I put on a real bra, makeup and shoes during the pandemic.. well..actually it always was.💄

Today my Babe turns one! For someone so small, she has a big personality and a flair for the dramatic! Sweet, sometimes shy, she loves books, other babies, dancing, screeching and talking, walking around shaking a disapproval finger... It’s been a wild ride, I can’t wait to go through baby pictures, open some gifts and of course have some cake tonight! We made it and I can’t believe she’s one, she feels like she was just a tiny newborn yesterday!
