Last year Abbi and I made this little Nativity scene, inspired by the clay pot Nativity craft from GRKids.com. This year, we are adding to our Nativity by creating some shepherds and sheep. Specifically we are creating 2 of each because Zoe is old enough to participate. Let’s get started!

With Easter just around the corner and me in desperate need to keep my girls busy on this Spring Break, we decided to make our own Easter baskets this week. Instead of buying a ton of supplies, we first scavenged through our recycle bin and craft box to see what we could use for our [...]
