I am sharing the tutorial for an easy Valentine bunting! My four year old and I have similar personalities. We both like to be in charge, we both like to have things a certain way, and neither one of us likes to be told what to do by the other. Yeah. I know. Teenage years are going to be rough. #lordhelpme One upside to having similar personalities is that we both like to make crafty things. She has noted my knack for being crafty by saying, "Mom your really good at making stuff!" ;) Girl, ... Read More about Easy Valentine Bunting

She loves to pass things out to her ... Read More about Sweet Valentines with Minted

Cozy January Living Room
Have a look at my cozy January living room decor! I never realized how responsible and trustworthy a child has to be to handle gum-chewing.
