:on raising creatives:



pablo picasso said, "every child is an artist." children have an innate ability to appreciate creation and in turn, the Creator. what may very well be a handful of weeds to one person is a bouquet of pure beauty to a child. what may be a yard in need of grooming, a tree here, a bush there along with some mowing, is but an adventure waiting to be had by little ones.

in response to her love for the great outdoors my little one and i created a handmade nature journal. here's how-->



i used precut cards and 12 x 12 card stock. cut the card stock a little larger than the precut cards. add holes with hole punches and tie up with twine. then send your little one out to take note of what we've been given.



"art washes away from the soul the dust of every day life"

:he is daddy:


in between his day job and a few hours of sleep, he pours all that he is into the little ones.
he gives piggy back rides. 
takes on the role of venom. 
builds train tracks, over and over again. 
plays chase and hide-n-go-seek.
he delights in daddy-dates.
 he reads books. 
he teaches with ease. 
he guides gently. 
he lavishes love.
he is merciful, always patient.
he is a giver of grace, grace and more grace. 
he is daddy and we love him so.
