Promoting Creativity…
My girls are all about projects: drawing and creating and writing and coloring and painting and everything in between. I have boxes and boxes and piles and walls FILLED with their masterpieces, each one special and unique and showing another part of my daughters’ creative spirit – something I love to encourage.
The ever-lovely Marissa contacted me recently with a new site to check out – The Creative Park for Creative Minds site, sponsored by Cannon. It’s fun, free, and has a TON of craft projects for you’re little budding artists to try. They have ideas and templates for any lesson plan (for those teachers among us!) and helpful tips too! There’s 3D Paper Crafts, scrapbooks, calendars and even some tips for your digital photography! There are interactive projects that help teach kids about geography, history, social studies, science and more! Who doesn’t want to teach our kids something when they don’t even realize they’re being taught? Sneaky teaching is fun!
To help take those projects to the next level, check out the Learning to Create site, and then pop over to the Cannon Creative Park for even more ideas and projects for the whole family!

It’s right over there! ———> With the kids all starting school, at all ages, we’re once again having to trust we’ve taught them what they need to know in order to protect themselves while they’re away from our (often over-)protective grasp. As […]
Ok, universe – stop!
Psst – have you entered the sweepstakes today? What are you waiting for? It’s right over there! ———> WTF Universe? Srsly. WTF? So he failed his test. That was bad enough, and he was quite upset – but his day was not to get much better, because, when The boy returned home from work that […]
Not so much.
Psst – have you entered the sweepstakes today? What are you waiting for? It’s right over there! ———> “Bet you’re happy now, huh?” That was the first thing he said when we got to the privacy of the car. Talk about a knife to the heart… because 1. it was completely untrue, and 2. I […]
