Spring Texture Hunt

Jen — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 23:50:06 +0000

Whew… After a long, snowy winter here in the Okanagan, I *think* spring might actually be here and I can’t tell you how good it feels! We arrived home on Good Friday after a week in Vancouver to find nearly all of our snow gone and despite the fact that it briefly snowed on both… Read More

Well hello, spring! You have no idea how much we’ve been looking forward to you! To celebrate, Miss G and put together this fun little spring muffin tin scavenger hunt and headed outside in search of the first signs of the season.

Plastic Cup Greenhouses

Jen — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 07:20:08 +0000

One of the things I absolutely love doing with kids come springtime is growing plants from seed. That being said, I’m most likely the worst gardener on the planet. Like really, really bad. Cactuses, succulents, and other kill-proof plants? Give them to me for a week or two and I can almost guarantee that they’ll… Read More

Abbotsford Tulip Festival

Miss G had a four day weekend this weekend, and with the sun shining and temps predicted in the mid-twenties, we decided to spend our Monday out at the Abbotsford Tulip Festival with good friends. I had already had a bit of a moment on the drive out of the city… One of the ones… Read More

Simple Spring Nature Exploration Station

Jen — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 07:34:19 +0000

Okay, so this is quite possibly the simplest activity ever, but it was thoroughly enjoyed and I was blown away with what Miss G did with it. Earlier today, as Grae was cleaning up from quiet play time, I quickly popped outside to the yard to see what sort of spring nature items I could… Read More

Cupcake Liner Flower Wreath

Jen — Fri, 15 May 2015 21:01:58 +0000

Our apartment door has a little hook attached to the middle of it, so naturally, it needs a wreath. In the fall we usually have our poppy wreath out there, then in winter we switch it up for the Christmas wreath Miss G made long ago, and then in spring, we usually have a little… Read More

Spring on the horizon means that it was finally time for us to say au revoir to the Christmas and winter play dough kits we’ve had around for months… New season, new play dough sets – that’s what they say, right?? ☺ While we’ve made a version of this spring garden play dough set… 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

Coffee Filter Flowers

Jen — Thu, 09 May 2013 05:08:51 +0000

Gracen and I have been spending a whole lot of time at the beach lately (yay!), but this afternoon, we finally got around to finishing off a fun little project we started days and days ago. It began like this. Coffee filters, coloured water, and a plastic dropper out, creative table-style. Simply left out for… Read More

Radish Top Egg Heads

Jen — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 23:01:32 +0000

While we made grassheads using my tried and true nylon method last year, this time around we decided to switch things up a little with an egg shell version. Not only is this method very simple {and therefore more toddler friendly}, but afterwards you can remove the googly eyes, give the shell a good crunch,… Read More
