    April 20, 2020 /

    Hello there! I hope this finds you well and hanging in there. We had our first week of forward online learning. There were A LOT of ups and downs and all of the emotions. The teachers are simply amazing and have taken on the role of on-line teachers/parent support therapists in stride! We also try to do a little extracurricular activity daily. Art is something that we all enjoying doing and (most of time) has a relaxing effect on us. Here are 5 At Home Art Projects that we have tried.

    January 17, 2020 /

      Hi and Happy Friday! Welcome to a place where we talk about all of the discoveries of the week. This week we will once again be covering five topics in short form. This week includes mention of the enneagram, a cute llama, turquoise water, a plant that makes me look good, and some delicious lasagna! I’m so excited about the Art category this week. I adore art and would love to have more of it our home. And there are just so many wonderful local artists. So, for this topic, I’d love to introduce some of my favorites/most coveted pieces of art during the Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road…
