Giovanni loves sensory play. I built him a sensory table last year that we use almost every single day! Out of nowhere he asked if we could play with some “pay dough.” He loves cooking/baking with me so I knew he would love making the play dough, too. I used my tried & true “No Cook […]

I wanted to make a gallery wall of photo canvases, but for the sizes I wanted it would cost close to $200… per canvas. Yikes! I did a little research & saw how easy it was to create your own with almost the same effect. I spent about $50 on these, between the canvases (1/2 off […]

–Scroll all the way down to skip right to the gender reveal video/baby’s name!– We had so much fun at our gender reveal “BaByQ” & I realized after that I did not take a single picture!!! I snapped a few shots of our sweet table & a few party details a few minutes before it started & that’s all.

I’ve been wanting to get Gio a sensory table for soooo long! I  wanted a nice, sturdy wooden one like the one I had in my classroom as a preschool teacher… but those run upwards of $200 & I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that knowing I could probably DIY it for much less… […]

This activity is super easy, super fun & only takes TWO INGREDIENTS– flour & baby oil! The ratio is typically 4:1 four to baby oil but I didn’t measure this time, I just did it “by feel.” I’m such a rebel, I know. Haha. I poured in the flour & Gio squeezed in the baby […]
