Today is the day my big girls have been counting down to for months - they're hopping on a plane ✈️ with @gigi_haswings for a little vacay (I'll be following with the other two on Friday - can't wait!!) 🎉 I wanted to start their morning with a little breakfast treat so we made a clean version of a kid favorite - pop tarts!! White whole wheat, organic cane sugar, and strawberry fruit preserves

Baking soda and vinegar is always a hit around here! And there's always new ways to mix it up. . Today we used little squeeze bottles to add our vinegar. She loved watching the fizzing chemical reaction! And the results were so pretty :). . As cool as it can be to have a one time big reaction...it doesnt seem to hold their attention for very long. Adding things to slowly mix your ingredients, whether that be with little bottles or eye droppers, is a great way to keep the activity going longer. . We even added a small plastic icecream cone and scoop to incorporate some pretend play!

The glitter's out, so the party is on! You'll probably know that we're big fans of glitter, and our @get.creative.with co-host @ohcreativeday is not. We became firm IG friends with Shannon because of our mutual love of Taylor Swift, pom poms, Netflix and coffee. Then we had the awkward conversation about glitter and it was nearly game over on our friendship. Glitter disagreements have probably broken up marriages but we didn't let it break us! When our new @get.creative.with judge @hobbycrafthq announced their theme of glitter we did a happy dance like Carlton from Fresh Prince, and Shannon did the opposite! Come and join us, @hobbycrafthq and @ohcreativeday as we get our glitter on this week by tagging your creations with #getcreativewith ✨Make sure you're following @hobbycrafthq , @get.creative.with, @ohcreativeday and us. ✨The lovely Hobbycraft team will be picking their favs next Wednesday. Thanks to Emma Sekhon/GMC Publications for the 📸

Working on something that floats today for @artcampla and @smocks.on. Today's craft was a struggle! I can't lie and say this was So MUCH FUN because the hubby reads my post and would call me out AND I want everyone to know we don't have it all together 😜 🚢 1- I sliced my finger in half and bleed everywhere, twice! 2- The boat looked like a shoe after it was assembled 🙃 Hubby had to do some serious resculpting! 3- Tried paper rolls as sails and they were just too small and made it look extremely awkward. 4- Hot glue on plastic is pointless. 5- Tempera paint doesn't paint over clear tape. 6- When it was time to paint, Luke put his brush up to the boat and swiped a few times then called it quits 😒 7- Take 2 of painting and it's like a major wind storm came and we literally almost lost our ship 😁 and then I about lost my🚢 8- Capturing this bad boy felt impossible- Why did I make it so big🤷🏼‍♀️ It doesn't always have to be a -Go big or go home creation! 🚢 Here's the best part! Even after the struggle, Luke LOVES it and is in the floor playing with his new patriot part ship as I'm typing this and I would do it all over again! 🚢 We don't care if your art creations are super FLY or very PLANE, we'd love to see them! Here's how to play:🚤🛥🛩🚢 1️⃣ Make some art WITH your kiddos and post a pic of your teamwork art, the artwork you created side-by-side, or a pic of you and your little in the process of creating together. 2️⃣ Tag it #smockson, @smocks.on, & @artcampla 3️⃣ Follow @smocks.on, @cara.raisingkinley, @toddler_tornado, @teach.investigate.play and our amazing guest host @artcampla for your daily inspiration 😘🐸🦆🐝🐍🐢🦋

6. @toddler_tornado: Yeah, that’s kind of what we all think of our toddlers — they’re tornadoes. The toddler, in this case, is tornado-ing up a storm of kid-created fun. We recommend the pirate ship painting post; this mama lists everything that didn’t go right in the process, and we’re loving the realness she’s serving up.
