Hello! I'm Lisa, former elementary and intermediate art teacher, turned stay at home mom to my two girls, ages 3 and 5. I live in Birmingham, Alabama and strive to spend my time with my children immersed in art, nature, play, books, music, cooking, and anything that sparks imagination and creativity.

Our little #earthday creative invitation inspired by the book Here We Are, by Oliver Jeffers. I love this book and after checking it out from the library a couple of months ago we just HAD to add it to our permanent collection. ACTIVITY: Coffee Filter Planet Earth. Using pipettes, drop green and blue liquid watercolor around your coffee filter. Watch the colors bleed into each other. Sprinkle with coarse salt- optional but cool effect! . . . . . #hereweare #oliverjeffers #bookcraft #kidartlit #kidlit #kidlitpicks #kidsbooks #planetearth #artandliterature #artandscience #smockson #coffeefilter #coffeefilterart #watercolor #kidlitpicks_wordless #tagfromtheheart

@get.creative.with has had a paper plate challenge this week so here is a throwback to our paper plate Letter Wall Hangings we made earlier this fall. They are now hanging above the girls’ new beds in their shared room.

My project this week: Operation Shared Room! I moved Willa into Lila’s room and tonight is the first night. It made the bedtime routine faster but I can hear them giggling and playing and NOT sleeping...as expected 🙄. Fingers crossed this goes well 🤞🏻 👯‍♀️ Room decor: *Two twin beds @overstock *Peacock pillow @homegoods *Bedding, yellow pillow, and Pom Pom garland (I know, I know...I could have made that but $3= time saved!) @target . . . . . #sisters #motherhood #momlife #kidsroom #twinbeds #targetstyle #toddlersofinstagram #homegoods #overstock #jennylind #peacock #roomdecor #kidsofinstagram #kidbloggersofig #pompoms #getcreativewith
