Tidy Books Kid’s Bookshelf Review & Giveaway
If you are a parent you know that reading is extremely important for your child. The sooner you start reading to your children, the better. For us, we started reading to Riley the day we got home. Our voices soothed her when she was upset. She is now two (where in the world does the time go??) and she absolutely adores books! We probably read 10 different books a day on any given day. Seeing her point at pictures and saying "dog" or "kitty" or if I ask her where Elmo's nose is and she … [Read more...]

Crafty Thursday – My First Ever Crocheted Granny Square
Above is the first ever granny square I have ever crocheted! I am so proud of it. I honestly thought I'd never be able to do one - they looked so complicated, but in all reality they're not! This one was super simple. I'm thinking about making a video tutorial on how to do your own. :) After I get done crocheting the afghan, doing the cross stitch ornament, and finishing the plastic canvas wall hanging (all Christmas presents for my family) I think I'm going to make a granny square … [Read more...]
