February 10, 2025 By Shannon Leave a Comment This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

My girls’ homeschool group is having a Valentine’s Day party this week. In addition to consuming lots of treats, the kids are exchanging cards with one another. My girls wanted to come up with unique valentines that were, as my middle child phrased it, “from the heart.” My eldest is folding paper airplanes from double-sided scrapbook … [Read more...] about Easy DIY Heart Pouch Valentines

A DIY tree skirt featuring your kids’ handprints is a fun and easy way to create a cute, memory-rich addition to your Christmas decorations.

My husband and I didn’t have a tree skirt for our Christmas tree for the first several years we were married. It wasn’t until our firstborn child was 2 years of age and our middle child was about 6 months of age that I decided what I wanted in a tree skirt. I decided to make a simple tree skirt out of felt on which we could chronicle … [Read more...] about DIY Tree Skirt with Kids’ Handprints

Easy and Affordable Update to an 80s Bathroom

July 6, 2020 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

See how a few simple and affordable updates took our 80s bathroom from ugly to lovely.

The home we currently own was built in the 1980s. When we purchased the house several years ago, the most unsightly room in it was the full bathroom in the upstairs hallway. Unfortunately, after nearly five years, this bathroom remained the most unsightly part of the house! Our original intention was to completely redo the bathroom, but … [Read more...] about Easy and Affordable Update to an 80s Bathroom

DIY Bubble Wands

You don’t need the plastic wands that come with bubble solution to blow bubbles. Have hours of fun with these DIY bubble wands.

One of my girls’ favorite outdoor activities is blowing bubbles. They’ll blow bubbles for 20 or 30 minutes, chasing them down to pop them and seeing who can blow the biggest bubble. Unfortunately, we sometimes misplace or break the bubble wands that came with the bubble solution. One day, when we could only find one bubble wand, I decided … [Read more...] about DIY Bubble Wands

DIY Deluxe Sensory Table with 3 compartments

Throughout the spring months, my oldest daughter kept begging me to put a sandbox in our backyard. I could easily think of a half dozen reasons why it would be a bad idea to put one in our yard. However, I love giving my kids things that they desire and sandboxes are great for several reasons (they provide a safe place for kids to play in the … [Read more...] about DIY Deluxe Sensory Table

Easy DIY Puppet Theater from a Cardboard Box

Example 2 of girls playing with a DIY Puppet Theater

Cardboard boxes, especially large ones, are wonderful “toys” for kids! I can recall several occasions during my childhood when we had large boxes from new appliances and similar items. We would play for hours while pretending these were all sorts of things (houses, rockets, etc.). Though I’m a mom now, I still love large cardboard … [Read more...] about Easy DIY Puppet Theater from a Cardboard Box

Printable Easter Story Word Clouds

These printable word clouds of the Easter story are a lovely item to decorate our homes and a fun way to meditate on the meaning of Easter.

As I did at Christmas, for Easter I’m sharing words from the Bible in the form of word clouds. The word cloud pictured above contains the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Word clouds are images comprised of the words used in a particular text. In this case, the text is Mark 15:22-39 and 16:1-7. The size of each word in the cloud … [Read more...] about Printable Easter Story Word Clouds

Printable Christmas Story Word Clouds

December 17, 2018 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

I often find myself unsure of what to write when I sit to draft the posts I will publish before Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter. After all, the Bible already says the most important things about these holidays! I don’t feel like I have any particularly meaningful insights this Christmas, so I will share with you some words from … [Read more...] about Printable Christmas Story Word Clouds
