This week Aubrey is going to a summer camp and the theme is Ocean. She has brought home some cute crafts, like these:It inspired me to do an "Ocean" craft with the twins this morning. We made Rainbow Fish, read the book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister and had fishy snacks.To make our fish I gave them each a paper plate and a sponge. While they painted their plates (and the table, and each other) I cut out triangles for the fin & tail. I helped them glue on the eye, mouth, tail and finI ... 
Eight Years and Counting…
Eight years ago today I married my best friend and the love of my life.It was the perfect fairytale wedding. We got married at the beautiful Castle Avalon in the Texas Hill Country.

The Men in our Lives

So I used an idea from an old book and we made Buggy Goggles.You need an egg carton, pipe cleaners, and stuff to decorate them. We ...
‘Tweet’ Growth Chart
A friend saw the growth chart I made for our kiddos and commissioned me to make one for hers. She sent me a couple examples of what she was looking for and we decided on a tree/bird theme.I was a little anxious about getting started on this one, I had a vision but wasn't sure how it would turn out. Fortunately, it all came together and I think it turned out great. I like it so much I seriously considered redoing ours!First, I painted the tree, leaves and grass.Next, I painted a bird on the ...
