Good morning! I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee, waiting for my 3-year-old to wake up, and excited to deliver your June freebie. :) I had so much fun designing this one yesterday. Lately, my boys have been completely obsessed with soccer. They've been collecting player stamps in their FIFA books and learning about all the different teams that will be coming to Mexico in the next few weeks to play. (My husband teaches them while I listen.) So when I sat down to create a Father's Day craft...

Thank you to everyone who replied to my Mother’s Day email this morning! Reading through your messages made my day. A few replies made me laugh, a lot of them made me tear up, and all of them reminded me how lucky I am to have such kind people in this little community. I hope you feel comfortable enough to hit reply to any of my emails and let me know how you're doing. I really love being able to connect with other moms from "home" while living abroad. :) Congratulations to Ruthanne, who was...

Before the day gets away from me, I just wanted to send a quick Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in my little corner of the internet… and also to the daycare providers, preschool teachers, and caregivers who spend their days loving on little ones and supporting families. :) I know Mother’s Day can look really different from person to person. Some of you are in the thick of raising tiny humans.Some of you spent the week helping a classroom full of kids create special gifts for their...

Good morning! It's been a LONG year so far, but we've made it to March 1st.... I'm not going to lie. I'm tired. My husband and I both work from home in Puerto Vallarta. We are extremely grateful and blessed to be safe and well with our kids. While the vandalism occurred in the streets of Puerto Vallarta last Sunday, we were privileged enough to be able to keep our two little boys safe at home with us. Our family and friends across Mexico are also doing well and I'm happy to report everything...

Happy February 1st! I know I usually send your free handprint crafts in the morning, but this weekend has been jam-packed so I'm JUST sitting down to the computer today. The boys and I got to cheer on my husband at a CrossFit tournament all weekend! It was SO cool to see him pushing himself and doing so well. And most importantly, our kids got to see him being a great sport, trying his best, and supporting his teammates. These lessons are really best when they're seen, not just told. I'm so...

Happy New Year! I hope your night went well. We rang in the new year last night by taking the boys to the beach to watch the fireworks. Sand everywhere, tired kids, big smiles! My husband and I did not crawl into bed until about 4:00 am, so today is definitely a slow coffee kind of morning around here. :) But, I'm here delivering your January freebie while my husband and oldest son watch science experiment videos together! This one is extra special to me because I designed it with my own boys...

I just want to start today with a genuine, deep thank you. This past month has been one of the biggest months my little shop has ever had, and I don’t have the words for how much it means for my family. We really needed this support this year, and I’ve cried happy tears more than once over your messages, orders, and kindness. What started as a simple idea for a Christmas gift for my own parents, has turned into a bestselling new concept: The Handprint Calendar! Thank you for showing up for...
