    Easy Autumn Leaf Lanterns

    / No Comments

    If you are looking for a fun, but simple, fall craft…look no further!  This craft requires very little supplies and the results are simply beautiful! The girls, aged 7 and 9, were able to complete this activity completely on their own.  They loved having creative freedom with their designs and immediately began talking about how beautiful it would be to have these lanterns on their bedside tables that evening. I hope you have as much fun creating your Autumn Leaf Lantern as they did!    SUPPLIES: Glass Jars  Pressed Leaves…

    Making Chia Seed Jam with Kids

    / No Comments

    One of the highlights of Summer for us is berry picking.  Whether it’s blueberries and strawberries from our garden, wild strawberries from our yard or blackberries and raspberries that we find along our local nature trail…we love them all.  In previous years, we would make a few jars of jam but with the high amount of sugar involved, we ended up abandoning that habit.  This year, when we were picking our rhubarb in the garden, our youngest asked if it was possible to make jam with rhubarb.  After a few…
