Handcrafted fun and fast ways to love your kids to bitty-bits!
My darling Wendy-bird turned one! I can hardly believe it! In honor of her birthday, we invited family over to celebrate with cake and snacks. I like to keep it simple for first birthdays, especially since it’s more for me than for them at this point. To that end, we also asked people to gift […]
Happy Father’s Day! Ok, I’m gonna say something that may surprise you but, hear me out: I think fathers have it harder than mothers these days. In our case, my loving husband works very hard so that I get to stay home with the kids. (Thank you so much!) But he wishes he could stay […]
