As Seen On…

Thanks for sharing the love!  I like to think that what I write is pretty helpful and I hope to reach as many creative (or longing to be creative!) families as I can.  Kiddio’s work has been featured or I’ve been a guest poster on these really great blogs and sites (among others!):

Guest Post at Simple Mom

I just wanted to let you know that I have a guest post up at Simple Mom today.  It’s all about making crafting easy for your kids (and easy on you!) by stocking an art box for them.
Don’t miss it (and the wonderfulness of the Simple Mom blog if you haven’t found it before)!

Hitting the Road…

We’re playing hooky for a few days for a roadtrip to Flagstaff Arizona to celebrate a family wedding.  So exciting to see parts of Colorado we’ve missed in the ten years we’ve been here, to take one last ’summer’ vacation, and to share adventure with the kids.  I thought about lining up some posts for [...]

Check Out My Post at Sew Mama, Sew!

The Friday Finds are great this week and are in the next post down, but if you’re interested in sewing, head over to Sew Mama, Sew to read my tutorial on making a Hanging Bed Organizer. If you haven’t been to the Sew Mama, Sew blog before, have a look around. There are some [...]

Miscellaneous Busy-ness

With Josie starting Kindergarten, Jasper now in Preschool, and two wild mornings alone with Adelaide (who is usually asleep for most of it), plus naps, playdates, laundry, dinner, bath, bed…It’s been crazy! I assumed that after a few weeks we’d slip into a nice routine, but some days it feels like I need to [...]

September: A Month of Boycraft!

I just didn’t get it.  Neither Josie (my oldest) nor I have ever been particularly girlie girls: we like bugs, get dirty, play trains…and I didn’t see that there would be much of a difference between girls like us and boys.  Heck, we’re not called tomboys for nothing, right?  I couldn’t have been more wrong.  [...]

Don’t Mind the Dust…

…I’ve just been doing a little remodeling! If you subscribe and haven’t stopped by for awhile, come see our new look. What do you think?

Thanks!

Wow, thank you all for the lovely comments and encouragement!  I really love the new name too, and I’m working to really focus what I’m doing into a great blog.  I hope to get it done in the next few days and get back to more regular posting and trolling the blog-world soon! 

busy, busy as a bee

I’m sorry for not posting for a few days–Daddio came home for my birthday on Sunday (we had the best weekend in recent memory, hiking, picnicking, going out for ridiculously fun french food by ourselves), and my folks are flying in today to join Josie, Jasper, Adelaide, and I for a roadtrip to visit family.
I’ve [...]

crafty aspirations

Katy at Sycamore Stirrings has fully inspired me. I feel like I always have this sort of creative pool in my mind, swirling with all the things I’d like to try, ideas I don’t want to forget…but the thing that gets me is that in the blog world (whether you’re reading or writing) we [...]
