There’s definitely some … Continue reading Family Game Night: Flamecraft →

While other places might already be blooming, we’re usually still brushing snow off the porch and crossing our fingers that it’s the last time. But slowly, things start to shift. The sun sticks around longer, the air smells different, and you can almost … Continue reading High Spring: Planting Seeds and Honouring the Cycle →

What started as a Paint & Switch Night with the FamJam for my birthday on Friday turned into a full weekend of artsy fun!  We had so much fun creating together that the boys and I kept it going with a Mom & Me paint night on Saturday (while Shimon was out at a pinball … Continue reading A Weekend Full of Creativity! ✨ →

We have this chain-link fence in our backyard, and when we first moved here, there was this vine already creeping up one of the posts. Over time, we’ve let it grow, and I’ve absolutely loved watching it change with the seasons. It’s like a living piece of art that shifts and grows, season after season. … Continue reading little nest 🪹 →
