A little birdie told me...

eesh. You know when life just gets crazy?!? We've been having one of those weeks. Nothing earth-shattering, just busy, tired life with little ones. So, I apologize for the delay in posting, but we're slowly getting back into the swing of things.

Kate's been loving our craft times, and I'm learning that it doesn't have to be some big, elaborate craft to make it worthwhile. Pick something your child has been fascinated by recently and make a craft out of it. It could be trains, the sun, or, if your kid's like my daughter - birds. So without too much forethought, I gathered supplies we had on hand and let Kate make her very own birdie.

and added a pipe cleaner for a little tuft

So don't put off doing something creative with your child because you think you don't have supplies or good ideas. Your kid will love creating anything with you. And Kate still talks about her colorful birdie that's hanging on the fridge.
