Holidays are the best. Any chance to get the kids together and craft and decorate, count me in! Add costumes and some sugar and you’ve got yourself a fun party. This year for Halloween, we invited friends over to decorate pumpkins and masks and feasted on some treats and chili on the perfect, cool, Fall night. The kids loved the crafting time and all went home with some goodies. I love making holiday memories and get so excited when I see the kids having a good time. Plus they were just too cute in all of their costumes. Hope this inspires you to do a craft with your kiddo and make something special! Happy Halloween!

Woodsy vibes for my little adventurer!
 

I love holiday traditions! Even though my son is only one, I still wanted to set in place a few fun Christmas traditions! One was a advent calendar (Book style), and another was hosting a kids craft party! It was a great morning filled with cookies, Christmas music and lots of arts and crafts! From writing a letter to Santa, to painting their own ornaments, I wanted these littles to express their creativity and most importantly have fun with each other! SUCCESS! Everything was personalized to make the kids feel special and I was so happy with the outcome. I designed all the labels and did the lettering to save on costs! Definitely a tradition I will continue… It certainly got us all in the holiday spirit – mama’s included!
 
 

I wanted my little babe’s birthday to be COZY and mainly outdoors so the kids could play! SO, I made a s’mores bar for kids to roast marshmallow’s, a hot chocolate stand and of course a fully stocked sweets table! The theme was lumberjack and everything was handmade by me! My grandmother helped with the log cake which was ah-mazing and fit in perfectly with the theme of his birthday party. Such a hit!

My mom threw me the cutest lumberjack themed baby shower at her home with lots of finger food appetizers, wine for the girls and fun games!

I knew I wanted to create a special space for my boy that was full of D.I.Y artwork and crafts made with lots of Love. This nursery was created on a tight budget and turned out to be one of my favourite rooms in the house. The woodsy theme featuring tourquoise, teals, burnt oranges and mustard yellow throughout the room. From the hand painted artwork to the hand made change table and refurnished dresser, all of these projects were designed to create a fun room for my baby boy to grow up in.
