The kids made Artesprix face masks and they are so cool! They were fun and easy to make and come out beautiful.
You’d think we would get use to the awesomeness that is Artesprix, but we still gasp in awe every time we peal away the paper and reveal our latest creation. We have so many more ideas and we can’t wait to make All The Things!
(more…)I’m taking stock of the yarn and yarn adjacent companies who are standing against systematic racism and white supremacy. I will be posting links to the statements these companies have made. If you find any that I’ve missed, please reply with those links.
PLEASE – Contact your favorite companies who are NOT saying anything and tell them to add their voices. Then give some love to the companies who are!
(more…)There have been crafts galore here At Home lately. Well, crafts, games and movies. It’s been a great way to stay entertained with everyone home all the time. Here are some snaps of our life recently, and a few stories to go with them.

Now more than ever people are supporting small businesses with online options. Etsy provides a way for artists to sell their creations without any physical interaction. I’ve picked out some Etsy products that I think you will love. So take a look and support the little guy!

Astronomy Fluxx is quickly becoming a favorite here At Home. Our budding astronaut, Vada, wants to play it all the time and it’s so fun that I almost always say yes. We’ve been having a blast playing, and we have all learned some interesting facts and dates from this game. Considering we are a family of outer space nerds, that’s saying a lot!

Arctic Friends are perfect for this time of year, and with the December Orange Art Box you can learn to draw and sculpt them!

Marvel Fluxx is a recent addition to our game collection. It travels well so we brought it with us to our Florida vacation. I will share all about our trip in a few future posts. Today I have some photos and stories of our time in the Marvel section of Universal Florida.

Middle school beginnings can be so rough, but I am super happy to say the twins are handling it like champs! They have great friends and great attitudes. We’ve had some bumps that are typical at their age, but we are working through them. Every night ends with “I love you”, and every morning starts with “good morning.” So I call that a win.

Woodland kids crafts are perfect for this time of year. Fall colors and fuzzy critters fill the November woodland Orange Art Box and bring out the creativity in your little ones. Kyla and Vada would like to show you all the goodies in this month’s box and what they have created with them.
Family Bonds are amazing. Nearly two years ago some dear friends of mine grew their family by bringing an amazing baby girl home from the hospital and becoming her foster parents. A couple week ago they were finally able to adopt her. Facebook immediately blew up with pictures and stories of their loving family. So today I thought I would celebrate a bit more by sharing some free crochet patterns that show off family bonds.

DIY emoji crafts for kids is a great way to start the school year. Emojis are on trend with the kiddos, and crafts are just fun! Plus, the kids get to create their very own emojis if they want to.
Spray chalk, paint and canvases, birthday cake, and a nice day, what more could you ask for when cerebrating your 12th birthday?! The twins had a great birthday party last month and everyone who came had a blast painting canvases and painting the yard, the house, and the garage with Testor’s spray chalk.
