Amazing DIY Snowflake Clay Ornaments, Which Do YOU Choose?
DIY Snowflake Clay Ornaments This evening snowflake clay project was inspired by my snow loving friend Susan. YES, we are teachers so of course the occasional Snow Day is always a bonus when they happen! This year, we have almost reached February 1st without a single flake in the air! I thought I would make her these snowflakes kind of as a “lucky snow charm”. They are calling for flakes in the air this upcoming Thursday here in Northern Virginia, so maybe, just maybe these charms will help turn the flakes into a coating or even a few inches, enough for her to have her snow day! I’m not saying…

Healthy Zucchini Bread Recipe with Oats, Honey and Agave Nectar
Anyone else enjoy spending time in the kitchen testing out new recipes? Check out my experimental Healthy Zucchini Bread recipe with Oats, Honey and Agave Nectar. This bread is made with clean ingredients that will satisfy your sweet craving without the guilt or bloat! A few gluten and sugar substitutions and you’ll be surprised with the taste! I love to bake, but I can also be a bit of a fanatic about “eating healthy”. Yes, at times it drives my kids’ bananas, BUT nine times out of ten (as long as they don’t actually SEE what I am adding to my recipes) the response is pretty positive. Last weekend when…

Salt Dough Penguins Affiliate links are included below. Tell me these are not adorable?? If you enjoy making keepsake crafts with your kiddos or class, this project is a must!

Simple Kitchen Remodel…Island Pendant Lights Update
A simple pendant light change might be the only update you need to give your kitchen space that WOW factor! In our home we have an open living room-kitchen area. What does that mean? In a nutshell there is not a wall dividing the two rooms. I love the flow and open floor plan to this house design, BUT it’s what lead to our many kitchen remodeling projects! While I would sit on our couch night after night I’d stare right into our kitchen, observing and taking notice of all the small things I’d like changed! My poor husband had no idea what was to come! Kitchen Project Number 1…

DIY Mini Spoon Snowmen for Pre-k
DIY spoon snowmen are the perfect snowy January project! In our pre-k classroom, we like to end our week with “Crafty Friday”! It’s usually a project that aligns well with our focus story of the week. This week we ended our week with this super cute project after reading “Snowmen at Night”. Now, I will tell you that my original vision of how this project would look in the end was a tad different than how it actually came out! When I placed my “spoon” order on Amazon I apparently, didn’t look at the size! Needless to say, I was a bit perplexed when I opened my package to see…
