We are only a few weeks into summer vacation and my daughter has already asked for screen time more than I care to admit. She normally loves playing outside but this summer it is all about technology. She has a beautiful imagination so I have decided screen time is out and creativity is in.

Are You Crafty? Five Fun and Simple Fall Crafts

I considered myself pretty crafty until my daughter came along and set me straight. Don’t get me wrong, she doesn’t come out and tell me I’m not good. It has just become somewhat apparent.
She was out crafting me by three, creating her own crafts by four, and out sewing me by six. She even mends her own stuffed animals… embarrassing!
