Some of my favorite ways to spend quality time with my kids during the holiday period, is to craft and to bake together. And this year, more than any other, the focus will truly be on family and faith! So rather than share lavish party ideas here on the blog, I've been creating some content that's suppose to nurture those feelings of home, togetherness and of slowing down to focus on what Christmas is truly about. Starting with this tiered DIY Christmas village advent calendar . It's a fun, easy craft project that your can do with the kids, and bring it out year after year as a family keepsake!
Halloween for my family has always been about the fun costumes, snuggling up on the sofa while watching movies, and eating candy. So although Halloween may look a little different this year, we'll still just see it as an excuse to snuggle up on the sofa to watch fun movies...and eat lots of candy! 😁 Hence these adorably cute, decorative Halloween throw pillows to make our sofas a little more cozy and a lot more BOO-tiful 👻

My daughter is currently obsessed with the trending chunky ring craze, so it was a no-brainer when we discovered InstaMorph® moldable plastic!

Happy New Year to you creative and crafty friends! 🥰✨ There's no better way to kick off the new year in my opinion, than with some good DIY projects, especially when it involves such a therapeutic craft such as pottery or working with clay. Bonus points for doing some recycling in the process, or what I like to call, turning trash into beautiful treasure for your home! 😉
I created this gorgeous and super easy Christmas baubles ornaments garland for my Holiday Cocktails & Appetizers party I shared last week. Did you see it up behind our the bar?! So pretty! Originally, I wanted to make a baubles ornament wreath, but those things look a LOT easier in theory, I tell ya! Have you ever tried making one? Man, they are a pain! Not only you always end up with a lot less baubles than you thought you might need, which means endless trips to the shops to buy more...not to mention they take aaaaages to get looking so full and pretty like you see on Pinterest , and let's not even mention the hot glue burns. Sigh...
It's back to school season, so I thought I'd share so easy DIY craft projects and ideas to help you re-decorate or update your child's homework or study area. The idea is to create a few simple décor pieces that are also practical and help to add a little touch of fun to a child's room, without breaking the bank. AND without spending hours crafting. You're welcome! 😉
Do you change your décor according to the seasons? I love this idea, and sometimes like to change up my décor without spending hours crafting or buying more things. So I tend to shop my home and my crafts stash to find inspiration on how I can update my décor without much time, effort and without breaking the bank!
Do you know how to knit? If so, then this post is probably NOT for you 😁 I can't knit to save my life, but I have recently bought a knitting machine/gadget that makes the coolest knitted tubes (is that the name?) of yarn. You can then transform these knitted yarn "tubes" into all sorts of creations, like these macramé style rainbows!
Mother's Day is nearly upon us, and if you need a cool gift tag to add to your present, then this post is for you! I'm currently loving all the line art, minimalist Scandinavian and boho inspired look to home décor. So, I was inspired by this modern vibe to design these boho mother's day gift tags that you can download for FREE from BirdsParty.com 🥰
I'm forever in search on fun activities to keep the kids amused and entertained during spring break, so craft projects often come to my rescue! Now that my kids are a little older, finger painting just doesn't cut it as a craft anymore, 😋 but luckily, they love polymer clay for creating fun and useful objects like key-rings, jewelry, photo-holders, etc. These DIY cactus place-card holders are our latest craft project, and they're perfect for celebrating Cinco de Mayo, which is nearly upon us!
Hello friends! I've been taking some time off to work on some cool new content for the blog, so please excuse my short absence. To kick the season off, I've styled a simple and fresh tablespace inspired by all things boho and with a modern Scandinavian vibe. I think this style is perfectly suited to a spring dinner party, brunch or a mother's day celebration at home!
If you like to decorate each season, but don't want to spend a fortune doing so, then this post is for you! 😉 These DIY craft projects are not only SUPER easy to make, but they're also very affordable, since we're recycling materials that would have otherwise ended up in the trash! AND we're giving away a couple of FREE printables , to help you get inspired and get crafting this spring!
This post is sponsored by the Game Day Favorites promotion at Publix. The opinions and text are all mine. If you ask me, there's no better way to celebrate the end of football season than with a delicious spread on game day! This year, our celebrations may look a little different, but that doesn't mean we can't still craft the perfect game-day experience at home with delicious treats and snacks for the whole family! So, today I'm sharing with you a couple of t asty, quick and easy recipes AND some fun FREE printables for your game-day party at home!
If you like easy, modern and art, than this post is for you! I've been taking a little time off blogging (not sure you noticed...) and one of the things I enjoyed doing during my break, was painting. Hence, these easy DIY modern wall art acrylic paintings ! I'm no professional artist, but I love creating DIY artwork to display in my home (you can see some here , here and here ). I think it's far more meaningful than buying art, more pleasurable too and a LOT more affordable! 😉
This year, Christmas may look a more scaled-down and different, but that doesn't mean we can't set up a pretty, cozy table to celebrate and give thanks for all the blessings we have in our lives! Am I right?! 🙏 So, I have opted for quite a relaxed, fuss-free style this year, with lots of natural wood touches to create a modern, neutral farmhouse Christmas tablescape . Hope you enjoy the ideas! 😍
This year, Halloween is a little more demure at ours. So, I opted for creating a few decorations that would reflect a "calmer" and more cozy vibe with neutral colors and a more paired-down style. To be honest, I much rather prefer this black and white, clean, modern monochrome vibe than anything too loud anyways! Not to mention that, (apart from the spider webs) this décor can be re-purposed for the November and Fall months too!
