I’m a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn’t change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!
Coloring, pasting and painting pictures
My daughter loves to paint!
How completely adorable are those crafts?!!! I’m a big fan of activities related to books, so this is awesome!
I have never even heard of this book, but then again, my boys are 6 & 9 so they might be a little old for it now 🙂
That is a really fun craft! My daughter loves anything that she can create while cutting 😉
These are super cool! I must admit, when I think of gluten-free, I think of flat, tasteless, and gross , HOWEVER these cookies look delicious. I had NO idea that gluten-free could be delicious.
Awe that is so fun! I’m going to have to pick up this book for my twins!
Okay, seriously, cutest idea ever! I need to try some of those gluten free cookies!
My kids always enjoyed coloring. So do I.
Your little strawberry mouse is my favorite. So cute! We love this book; I gave it to my husband years and years ago for his classroom.
