SPARKLY Sidewalk Chalk Paint

Jen — Sun, 01 Sep 2013 09:41:27 +0000

I’m not going to lie… We’ve been here in Kuwait for less than two weeks and I’m already going a little crazy. The trouble is, as of now, we don’t have a vehicle. Not because we don’t want one – we’ll be purchasing something as soon as possible – but because we need things like… Read More

Taking Advantage of the Heat with Ice Painting

Jen — Tue, 27 Aug 2013 09:18:18 +0000

Last night as I was tidying the kitchen before heading off to bed, I came across our silicon mini muffin pan and randomly decided to fill it with water and gel food colouring instead of putting it away (totally normal, right?) Don’t ask how this all came about… An idea came to me, and I… Read More

Frozen SCENTED Sidewalk Chalk Popsicles

Jen — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 09:07:03 +0000

When I saw this post from Reading Confetti, I immediately fell in love. We’ve made our own sidewalk chalk paint for a long while now and I’d seen many frozen versions, but never had I seen them made in popsicle moulds before! After sharing the idea on our Facebook page and pinning it on several… Read More

Rainy Day Splatter Painting

Jen — Thu, 30 May 2013 06:20:43 +0000

While living in a city that gets as much rain as Vancouver does can be a little deflating some days, I know that we’ll miss it dearly once we’re back in the sandy desert. So instead of letting the past week of rain keep us indoors today, we decided to get out and enjoy it.… Read More

Footprint Butterfly Flower Pot

Jen — Mon, 20 May 2013 07:57:19 +0000

A few weeks ago, Gracen’s {great} aunt sent me this photo of a footprint butterfly flower pot and asked if Miss G could make her one. After some serious detective work, I believe that the photo was originally shared on Carol’s Classic Gifts and Decor’s Facebook page, but I could be wrong (please correct me if… Read More

Simple Outdoor Fun: Painting Sidewalk Chalk Shapes With Water

Jen — Mon, 06 May 2013 06:20:29 +0000

While we’ve done plenty of regular mess-free painting on our sidewalks and fence, today Gracen asked if I’d draw her something to paint. While maybe not as open-ended as I’d usually aim for, I do find that sometimes she prefers having a jumping off point, so I drew an assortment of shapes on the ground… Read More

Citrus Cup Bird Feeders

Jen — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 07:02:28 +0000

I swear, I’m not a hoarder. In fact, with something like 49 moves under my belt in my 31 years, it’s quite the opposite. I’d much rather toss/recycle/give something away than have to lug it to a new location. Buuuuuuut, the other day after juicing a bunch of citrus fruit, I couldn’t help but think… Read More

Snow Spray Painting

Jen — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 06:32:02 +0000

Though it feels like we’ve had a good, long winter vacation already (because we have), we’re lucky enough to have one more week to spend in the Okanagan before Bradley’s return to work. And while we’ve been doing more than our fair share of relaxing (and indulging – oy!), we’ve also been trying to make… Read More

Cookie Cutter Bird Seed Feeders {A Toddler-Friendly Method}

Jen — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 22:13:17 +0000

I must admit, I’ve seen many recipes like this one from Under the Sycamore floating around the internet, and I’ve been skeptical. Very skeptical, in fact. I guess I was envisioning some sort of jello-y bird seedy concoction and I just couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact that a hunk of seedy gelatine could… Read More

Remnants of a Messy Play Date

Jen — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 06:14:03 +0000

Gracen had a wonderful time with her friends at her birthday party and has talked about having friends over to play every day since. So with my little lady’s wishes tugging at my heartstrings and our beautiful Vancouver weather continuing into September, I decided to host our first ever {outdoor} messy play date. It’s… Read More
