End of the School Year

The countdown to summer has started in our house! The kids love waking up and pulling the numbers down each morning off the poster that I made. Personally, I'm scrambling to get all my projects done before it's me and the kids 24/7. 

The end of school brings lots of fun activities for the kids and projects for me. Since I'm the room parent, I'm organizing an ice cream social for Jonah's 1st grade class. To ensure that all the parents know that they can join us, I have created some cute invitations to go along with theme. Theses were super easy to put together particularly since I always have stock piles of paper. 


Need a unique and fun invitation for your next party? Send me a message. I'll be happy to help!

Gift giving

I have been reading books and articles that discuss the need for simplification. The context could be mental and physical. I'm a person that loves to declutter, design and organize and I love reading this types of material. It inspires me to live a simpler life with less and be richer in other areas.

But then I get conflicted with gift giving....Does anyone NEED more stuff? What if we gave the time that it took to find the gift instead to our loved ones?

As Mother's Day approaches, I'm looking forward to the handmade treasures that my children will present to me. The "I love you's" scribbled across the page. These are the items that you can never buy at the store and will never end up in the Goodwill pile.
