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.

Yes! I would like to explore art and creative ideas for my family!

Heidi @the_harmony_tree_house is asking us to @get.creative.with SMALL WORLDS so here is a throw back to our Farm Sensory Bin from last fall. • This play idea is still a favorite of my girls and they ask for it ALL the time. I love how this activity brings back life to old toys. . . . . . #creativekids #creativelife #childhoodunplugged #kidscrafts #creativetable #artprompt #invitationtoplay #kidbloggersofig #toddlermom #kidscrafts101 #smallworldplay #sensoryplay #sensorybin #fall #fallsensorybin #farmanimals #oursensoryfarm #farm #everydayplayhacks #playideas #letthemplay #getcreativewith #smallworlds @get.creative.with @the_harmony_tree_house

How fun are these paint swatches?! They made perfect little houses! . . . . . #toddlerart #creativekids #creativelife #childhoodunplugged #kidscrafts #littleartist #creativetable #kidscrafts #artprompt #invitationtocreate #processart #kidbloggersofig #rockinartmoms #kidsart #toddlermom #kidscrafts101 #paintswatches #shapes

INVITATION TO CREATE: PAINT SWATCH HOUSES! Finished product coming soon! . . . . . #toddlerart #creativekids #creativelife #childhoodunplugged #kidscrafts #littleartist #creativetable #kidscrafts #artprompt #invitationtocreate #processart #kidbloggersofig #rockinartmoms #kidsart #toddlermom #kidscrafts101 #paintswatches #houses

Alabama summers ain’t for the weak. Muggy, hot, mosquitos, miserable. That causes a problem for our home art space ~AKA~ garage. • We have barely stepped foot in here this summer...other than to grab supplies and bring them inside...and then bring them back to dump them on the table or floor. • Today was OPERATION: ART SPACE ORGANIZATION. I’ve been going through months worth of artwork and clutter. We won’t see cool days until at least late October so it was pretty steamy in there...and did I mention the mosquitos? 😩 • I made a little headway but still a long way to go. What about you all? Where do you create with your kiddos and do you have any organization tips to share?

My first day back to teaching was great...like riding a bicycle! I was worried I was a little rusty from years at home and wouldn’t know how to teach anymore. Once I started, however, it was like I never left! • My students were welcomed to Art with this bulletin board outside of my room. My girls helped me make my letters (see a couple posts back!) and the phrase was inspired by @artroomhappenings! . . . . . #artteacher #childart #artteachersofinstagram #artseducation #watercolorresist #watercolor #childhoodunplugged #rockinartmoms #kidart #artclass #artclassroom #bulletinboard #letterart #elementaryart #elementaryschool

Nothing better than brand new @crayola crayons! • I spent ALL day at my school today organizing my room and setting up for my big day tomorrow! • My girls (and my yoga pants) will be missed but I know they will be in good hands with my mama spending the day at the @mcwanescience center. . . . . . . #adulting #artteacher #artteachersofinstagram #momlife #artseducation #crayon #childhoodunplugged #rockinartmoms #kidart #artclass #artclassroom #hoovercityschools #crayola

It’s crunch time...2 1/2 days until I am in front of a classroom full of eager artists! This will be my first time back to the teaching world in 6 years! • I’ve been spending the last week attending teacher orientation and getting my room ready. There is still so much to do! I put my little artists at home to work this morning on these tape resist letters for a bulletin board. . . . . . #creativelife #creativekids #childhoodunplugged #watercolor #letters #kidart #teachersofinstagram #artteachersofinstagram #elementaryart #bulletinboard

FARM ANIMAL MUD PLAY! • Here is a throwback to one of Willa’s favorite activities we did this summer. Just mix some water with a little dirt for the animals to play in and then scrub them clean! See my stories of Willa in action! . . . . . . #toddleractivities #summeractivities #waterplay #summertime #sensoryplay #childhoodunplugged #getthemoutside #mudplay #getcreativewith #everydayplayhacks #toddlerplay @childcare_adventures @get.creative.with
