We have had some cooler mornings here in Indiana and it really makes it feel like fall, even though the temperatures climb back up to the 80’s in the afternoon. Surely, summer temperatures aren’t completely over yet. Nonetheless, fall decorating has begun, and I am trying to slowly bring in the fall home decor, while …
There’s nothing that screams SUMMER BREAK louder than kids whining that they’re bored. My kids were not excited for school to end and my oldest has taken it upon herself to start planning outings – day at the park, a visit to the splashpad.. She was then excited to learn that I created a bucket …

I made these pom pom balls for my daughter when she was about 10 months old. She enjoyed rolling them, throwing them, holding and chewing on them. They are really easy to make, requiring just a few supplies. Color variations are endless. I made one in warm colors, one in cool colors, and one with …
