Make and Listen






Making:

~ Inspired by a craft we did last summer and Jennifer's birds from last week, Reece and I made some little butterflies to bring a little smile and colour to our days.

~ We had a blast with window art, and love how they look in our living room window.

~ A little milo for a friend and her soon to arrive little one.

~ A couple jars of hand salve, one for a friend and a few for our hands here at home.

Listening:

~ I was given the audio book, Speaking Peace, a few weeks ago and have been enjoying it in bits and pieces in the car. It is so good.

~ I have been singing along to a little bit of Colbie Caillat, Dido and Norah Jones while I prepare dinner.

~ Sunday morning just wouldn't be complete without Back in the Day, music from the 70's, 80's and 90's. And yes now I feel old.

What have you been making and listening to this week?

  4. I love this post, Kim! It brought a big smile to my face. I love all the artwork with Reece, and thanks for sharing the hand salve recipe.

    Oh! And nothing beats singing while cooking :) 70s, 80s, 90s music to boot - awesome! Remember, we are not old - we are retro! Hahahah!
