Kid's Bazaar

Image
We have been busy making handmades for an annual Kids Bazaar at the local library! The kids had a lot of fun making these snowman cards. They were a hit and sold out in no time! Eli is starting a new business venture in candle making. He is pretty excited about that and we have been experimenting a bit lately trying to figure out the best candle ever! We like tallow a lot and people were quite interested in his candles at the fair - he sold out as well! Good job, son! Sofia cutting "poopernuts" or peppernuts! They were so yum! Sold out as well! Sofia is adding lotion bar into her skin care line! they are awesome and sold out as well! Good job, princess! What a blessed day! Praising the Lord!

Encore! and more...

Wanna guess where I am on this BIG weekend morning? Yes, that's correct. I am  hanging out at home sitting on a couch drinking homemade creamy delicious chai tea, thinking of all the wonderful things we can do together with my kids - like making lotion bars or candles! Our new product addition! I am pretty sure that nothing could get me to drive to town today! Absolutely nothing! But, that doesn't mean that we won't be taking advantage of some of the amazing deals I am finding online - and they are even sweeter because I don't have to: (a) Get all dressed up and the kids (quite a chore;-)! (b) Get up early to get the best deals. It's raining outside and I thought it also would be a good day to update our blog a little bit! First of all let me tell you about Eli's amazing piano performance at Jansen Art Center a couple of weeks ago!   This  Art Center puts on  Youth Concert Series   every "Sunday @ 3" featuring local young musicians, dan

The clouds are rolling in bringing more and more rain. Gone are beautiful sunny days! Yet we are thankful for a little bit of sunshine here and there! The fall has been gorgeous here! We took some family photos a couple of weeks ago, I think they turned out great. Lucie is so growing up! Glad she got to wear this pretty dress! Thanks, Jo!  Enjoy the pics!

Fall Happenings

We have been having a wonderful fall here! The sun is shining most of the time and the rain is still holding back a little bit. We are easing it into homeschooling and enjoying outdoors as much as we can. September was full of various "fairs" - farm tour, art fair, skill share fair etc. We learnt about growing mushrooms, apples, using a sythe and making fire without matches... Hiking is our family favorite and we feel so blessed being able to do that!  Here are a few pics from our hike to Fragrance Lake. YES on I-522!!!  Enjoying real "fair food". Lucie is growing up! She talks more and more and can run!  A bike ride along Lake Whatcom. Sofia is doing so great without training wheels. A brunch in Seattle celebrating mom's birthday. Our little artist. She ate the orange color and the rest was on her clothes. Really hoping they are "non- toxic" as they cl
