What a week people. Seriously, WHAT A WEEK. Sophie missed school Monday because she fell in the shower that morning, had a giant bruise right on her rump & refused to put a diaper on.

This morning I went in to Sam’s class to make these polymer clay charms for the kid’s to give their mom’s on Mother’s Day. It wouldn’t be a bad idea for Grandma gifts either & it’s a relatively quick craft. I gave each child about a 3/4″ square of polymer clay & showed them how [...]

Awhile ago I read this post on Lil Blue Boo where Ashley gave a guide on how to get your pre-schooler to create some fabulous art. Not only were her tips great but she really inspired me to not be intimidated by the possible/probable mess of paint & just let Sam go for it! As [...]
