As a busy work-at-home mom striving to make the most of every moment with my girls (4.5, 3, 1.5 and one baby on the way!), my goal is to share easy crafts and activities, kid-friendly and easy recipes, and adorable and easy cupcakes for other moms looking to do the same!

Well, thanks for asking! LOL!
It’s actually going really, really well, but the reason I haven’t written this post before now is because it’s taken us until very recently to find our groove. (The flu might have played a part in that taking even longer than I expected.)
We actually made some pretty drastic changes this month [...]

(I have no idea why my pictures have these gray areas at the bottom !)
There’s just something about fall crafts that I can’t resist! Even though the last 2.5 weeks have been hectic and stressful with fighting the flu, we’ve done more crafts than we’ve done in a while.
