It’s crazy to think just over a month has passed since we officially started this build. Even through the snow and the rain, all the different crews of people have been working hard making this beautiful home come to life. The girls are glued to the windows every step of the way running up and down the steps, shouting what they see and even taking their own videos and photos.

Everyone we know has been driving ... read more

Tuck these away in your arsenal for rainy days, play dates, virtual learning days, or days when everyone’s just bored and needing something to do. First up... pipe cleaner spiders! I don’t have a tutorial here but basically wind up some black pipe cleaners into a ball for the body and wind 8 more into legs. You can do this part for younger kids or let them do it.
