DIY Craft Kit + our favorite craft supplies
One of the best, most played with, gifts my 5 year old son has received is this craft kit for his 5th birthday. I’ll be honest- I was initially a little worried about the mess. BUT I set some clear boundaries with him (materials need to stay IN the container when not being used or they were liable to be tossed) and I truly haven’t had one issue. I’m not exaggerating when I say he’s used it every. single. day. since receiving it over six months ago! Why do we love this DIY craft kit? 1. It encourages independence: I no longer have to be in charge of all crafting…

DIY Plaid Christmas Trees
These DIY plaid Christmas tree decorations are SO easy to make and cost very little (or nothing!) to create! They are a great filler item for your seasonal farmhouse or rustic decor. This year is our first Christmas in our new home AND the first Christmas in years that we will be spending in our own home instead of traveling! Because of these two reasons, I was really excited to decorate this year! However, I quickly found out that I didn’t have even close to enough decorations to fill the space on our shelves. I bought a few things, but I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on…

DIY Plaid Christmas Sign
These DIY plaid Christmas signs are so simple to make and are a great addition to farmhouse, rustic or vintage seasonal decor. I went to Joann’s the other day to look at the Christmas decor. Immediately upon walking in I was distracted by the rows and rows of Christmas fabric. I was especially drawn to all of the beautiful plaid, flannel fabrics. A few yards made it into my cart–the only problem? I don’t sew! As I thought about how a non-sewer like myself could get away with buying all this fabric, I noticed some cute Christmas sign decorations with plaid backgrounds. It was then that I came up with…

Creating a Reusable To-Do List
If you haven’t noticed yet, I am a lover of all things organization and I love myself a good to-do list. I create to-do lists in my bullet journal every single day. They help guide my day and make me the most productive. I find that if I don’t have a to-do list made, I am not as purposeful with my time and tend to spend nap time scrolling through Instagram instead of doing something useful 😉 Since I make daily lists I have found that I often write the same tasks every. single. day. Tasks such as laundry, working out and doing the dishes seem like they are ALWAYS…
