We were given permission to paint before we moved in but everything else I’ve done is totally temporary OR… super easy to fix up before we leave (think patching a small screw hole, for example).

About Our Son’s ADHD

From time to time I share things about our family here. Particularly things that I feel could be helpful or educational. Today I wanted to talk a little bit about our 9 year-old.

My scrap fabric pile is getting bigger and bigger and I had this stack of small fabric scraps leftover from this rainbow leaf wreath. I’ve done a project like this in the past with felt, but figured I’d try it again with a different fabric, a different color scheme, and… a different quote.

I think all of us are looking for ways to entertain ourselves and to create using what we have around the house. I’m crazy about these Duck brand messenger bags I made for the kids to use for their backyard scavenger hunts.
