Ice Cream Making – manual and machine made :) »
I've been busy the past 8 months with our newest family member so blogging has fell to the way side. So much to catch up on! This project is actually from last summer, but we are having a hot May long weekend here in Québec so I thought it would be a fitting post. Last summer we stopped in at the LL Bean Flagship store in Freeport, Maine. In...
Easter Eggs »
My theme this week seems to be catch up - and we finally got our decorated Easter eggs hung up on our nature table. I have been waiting for a budding branch and finally obtained one with some green...
Mother Nature »
I especially love spring crafts...so many ideas & potential - it's like your mind wakes up from a winter's hibernation. Sophie & I finished our Mother Earth today and placed her on our nature table....
Our Growing Family… »

Wooden Playstands »
The girls big gift for Christmas this year was a wooden playstand set. I decided on getting a double set since it seemed the best value. You receive two playstands and a play silk, so the...
Our Doll Friends »
The girls received dolls & doll clothes/accessories for Christmas this year. I was really happy to have obtained most of the accessories handmade - either from family & friends or via the...
Papercrafts over the »
We did a few paper crafts over our Christmas break. With a one year old & a three year old this usually means I fold &/or cut and they watch. Pouring glitter was certainly a hit...
O Christmas Tree… »
I have to admit, I am usually pretty grumpy the day the tree goes up. With two young children and three curious cats it usually gets chaotic pretty fast, and I am left wishing that it was DONE...
Fast Food Alternative »
We travel a lot...which the girls enjoy. However, as most parents can relate, it is hard to find healthy fast food. We've found that my girls are huge sushi fans - so a California/avocado/cucumber...
