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 […]

Santa Puzzle
This project came about after last week’s winter/Christmas projects post, after making the Santa pieces for the Tic Tac Toe game and really loving how those turned out I decided Santa needed a piece of his own so I decided on a puzzle because I LOVE making those and thought this would be a cute […]
Christmas and Winter Projects
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 […]
Letters for Names, Words, Etc
The Alphabet Fun listing on Etsy has been a hit and we’ve sold a lot of letters! We started thinking having the option to personalize this more and giving the option to purchase specific letters for a name would be fun! So I started by making Brooks, Lucian, and their buddy Owen a set! These […]
Mini Market
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 […]

Weather Blocks
This has been a project I have been thinking about for a while now! I finally decided to sit down and design it. I am so happy I did, I really love the way these turned out! Brooks talks about the weather a lot from the sun, rain, clouds, wind, and storms. With this project […]
Bee Blocks
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 […]
