Say Yes to the Messiness of Childhood & a Free Printable!
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Wet-Nap®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #ConquerTheMess http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV Kids are the most creative beings on the planet. Always surprising us with their ideas, imaginative play, and the wonder they embrace as they navigate this world. Sometimes their creative ideas come at a cost though…a huge mess. Many times as a mom, it can be easier to say no to these activities. After all, we already have a bazillion messes to clean up, don’t we? The dishes, the laundry, the toys strewn about. We can find ourselves eventually in a rut of saying…

Sticks and Stones: Dealing with the Ugly Side of Social Media as a Blogger and Person of Faith
If you are a blogger, designer, or creative type who puts yourself out there on the internet, you may have had a negative run in or two (or three, or four…) on social media. Most of us have. It is “to be expected.” Normal. Happens all the time. Something to “get over.” But what if you can’t? What if the hurtful words cut deep? How can we manage to keep our self-worth and value in tact while subjecting ourselves to the possibility of rudeness and ridicule? A painful Facebook experience that happened to me a couple of weeks ago, left me contemplating this blog and what I am doing here.…

Spring Easter Bunny Free Printable – “Some Bunny Loves You”
Is spring ever coming? Some days it really doesn’t feel like it around here, but that doesn’t keep it off my mind! Today, I have a free printable that I made to celebrate Easter and start bringing bits of the season into our home. I am joining with several other bloggers sharing free printables and vignettes for spring, hosted by Ella Claire. Be sure to visit all the others at the end! A few weeks ago, my children were drawing at the table, when I sketched a little bunny and wrote, “some bunny loves you” at the bottom. I shared this sketch on Instagram and people seemed to like it,…
