Whether you can start gardening with your kids today, or whether you still have a month or more to go before it’s safe to plant outside (like me…le sigh), I’ve got some gardening ideas here you can try with your kids right now. I’ve been itching to get out there. Dirt under the nails, bugs […]
11 Beautiful Lacy Baby Blanket Knitting Patterns
Earlier this week, I asked a question in our newsletter (do you get the newsletter? You can sign up to get it at the bottom of this post or over to the right there –>) After spending a week in Hawaii, I was wondering – what do people in warmer climates knit? It’s currently snowing […]
Make this easy knitting pattern – Mock Cable Baby Blanket

How to Get Kids to Do Chores (and what they should do!)
This post was sponsored by Mean Green. All opinions are my own. I’m a huge fan of kids doing chores for a number of reasons. For one thing, in a house with six people, I can’t do everything myself. I may have actually wept when I taught my older kids to do their laundry, and […]
6 Enchanting Novels About Knitting
Knitting is therapeutic, I tell you (except, of course, for those times you discover a mistake several rows back and you must unravel an hour’s worth of work while cursing quietly).

Here are six of our favorites (for more reading fun, check out our Valentine Reading List): –Bear Hugs: Romantically Ridiculous Animal Rhymes by Karma Wilson: I love […]
10 Kid Books to Read for Valentine’s Day
I’ve discovered Valentine’s Day is really much more fun with kids. No outlandish romantic ideals to be crushed. No overpriced dinners for two. Just a fun day where (hopefully!) everyone feels loved, with a small treat at each person’s spot at the dinner table. And as much red or heart-shaped food as I can possibly […]
12 Ways to Organize the Yarn Stash
Are you January-ing like I am? Resolving to eat some actual green, leafy things and to get outside and walk or run or something instead of stying huddled up inside where it’s warm?
