If you are new to The DIY Village you may not be aware that my husband, Matt, and myself have this little thing we like to call our Never Ending Honey-do list. Well it’s not so little and it seriously is never ending. It is in need of some major updating with the addition of […]
Custom Toddler Artwork
I still love doing art with Josslyn. Artwork with toddlers can be super fun! We have moved on from finger painting and onto holding brushes and manipulation of objects, scissors, crayons, markers … the good stuff.
