When I first spotted these gift kits at Seed People's Market, I was overwhelmed. Made by Seedling, a company based out of New Zealand, each gift aims to inspire a child and give them something to create.
From creating your own boardgame, to designing a tutu, to making your own kaleidoscope, the options are endless. It's such a great gift to give your child since it's also something you can do together. I am a big believer in creating memories with your...READ MORE

The best part, I think, is how pretty the cakes turn out to be! I adore this concept and applaud...READ MORE

Mom Monday {happy mother's day}
I hope you all had a fabulous mother's day yesterday. Here is a little peek into how I spent mine.
We took Piper for a walk at a wilderness park close by our house to show her all the flowers. She is absolutely in LOVE with flowers so it was so much fun watching her marveling at all the different types of flowers.
