It’s spring time in the northern hemisphere and every one around me is getting pregnant and having babies! It’s that time of year for twitterpating and baby showers! The most recent baby shower that I attended was for a family friend and her impending little princess, Kirbi! I decided it was time that I put […]

DIY All-Natural Kid’s Paint That Is Even Better Than My Last Recipe
I really do love to paint. My mother was an aspiring artist in her off time (along with being a writer…where’s her blog? I think she should totally follow my lead and start her own blog!) and she always did fantastically fun craft projects with us, when we were kids. I am a right brained […]
Homemade Love For Silas Thor
In the spirit of the holiday season, I have been on a mission to come up with holiday traditions that keep that magic without the need for Santa Claus. Yes, you heard right. The Hippy Husband and I don’t feel the need to propagate the Santa Claus myth in our household. I am aware that […]
Homemade Holiday Scented Play Dough For The Little Ones In Your Life
I love playing with play dough. I have always been one of those artsy types of people; as a child, anything that my mom would suggest, that had to do with crafting, I was on board. There is a lot of talk though, about sensory play and how it can enhance the learning experience for […]

Make Your Own Non-Toxic Oven Clay
When Silas was about 4 or 5 months old, his first Father’s Day rolled around and I wanted to do something special for Andy. (This was spring of 2010) After a lot of contemplation on what I could do that would be an awesome keepsake forever, I thought about all of the times that my […]
Make Your Own Watercolor Paints That Are NON-TOXIC
I had intended for this post to come out last Sunday, but these paints took MUCH longer than I had anticipated to dry. I was so excited to try these out, I kept checking every day to see if they were done. Silas saw them drying on the counter top and was just about as […]
EASILY Make Your Own Non-Toxic Finger Paints At Home
After buying a whole array of finger paints from Hobby Lobby, for Silas, and setting them all up, I realized there was this stench coming from them. It was a terrible chemical smell! The bottles say non-toxic but they most certainly don’t smell like they’re non-toxic. This situation made me to realize that I could […]
