So today she used the camera she received from Grandpa and Grandma S. for Christmas to make her first stop animation movie (with some help from Daddy!). She spent several hours working on this and …

Since we homeschool and have a creative child, keeping a well-stocked selection of arts and crafts supplies is imperative in our home. I also believe that the supplies need to be readily accessible to the child and well-organized so they can easily be enjoyed. Today I’m going to share what we have on hand and …

A few weeks ago I ended up on A girl and a glue gun and her DIY Barbie House post. I knew Caroline would be enthralled, but I had no idea how much it would impact her! She has watched pretty much all of the crafting videos by My Froggy Stuff and has been inspired. …
