and we're nailin' it!
New year, New kid! Just kidding of course! Lucian tries to carry around my weights even though they’re too heavy for him. He loves to watch me “dance,” which is what he calls all forms of working out! So, I thought it would be cute to give him a set of his own! I just […]
Lucian makes us laugh so much lately with how much he imitates us. He will try to stand exactly how we stand, he wants his hair (the very little he has) done like ours, he’s repeating our phrases, etc. This, of course, makes us much more aware of the things we say and do. So […]
Village Blocks: I am in love with how these turned out. I have these set up on our mantle as a very simple Christmas Village. And love the look. And love that Lu can play with and rearrange them too! I created them for us to use at Christmas, but these can be used to […]
I wanted to make something special for Brooks’ birthday. He has so much fun pretend playing so I knew I wanted to do something that facilitated that! We made Lu a kitchen last year, and he loves it, but I wanted to do something totally different! So, I decided to do a mini market. What’s […]
A few weeks ago, Jennie and I had our 100th Etsy sale! We are so excited about this milestone. Etsy has picked up in the last few months and we have also had some newly loyal customers coming back for more, which we obviously love. It was perfect when we realized that our 100th online […]
One of my favorite things to teach about at the museum was bees, and we plan to plant a wildflower field at our house for bees too. So, I have been thinking about these bee blocks for awhile. Now, that I am finished, I love them! Lucian saw them and said “Oh wow, Mom! You […]
Fall brings all things sweaters, boots, cozy cuddle weather, beautiful leaves, pumpkin patches and apple picking, FUN holidays, and FUN toys to go along with that! We had a lady reach out to see if we were going to make any Thanksgiving push/pull toy and boy are we glad she did! We LOVE custom work […]
Y’all, I am so excited about this week’s project. When Jennie and I first started, I only had a laser engraver/cutter and was VERY limited in what I could do as far as toys go. Looking back, I am not super proud of the project. The idea was good, but I have grown so much […]
Lucian loves to pretend to be on the phone. He also loves to Facetime his grandparents! He asks for this often. His imagination seems to be growing really quickly these days. All of his toys are getting names and carrying on conversations with each other. He has certainly inherited my love for talking. Someone go […]
Our boys are at the perfect ages for shape identification. I saw this idea from a teacher who was using a laminated paper version and thought Lucian could totally use a set. Of course, I had to make them from wood. These are fun for going on an indoor or outdoor shape scavenger hunt! These […]
