BABBABOX project

Isabelle and I had a great opportunity to do a project thanks to the wonderful people at BabbaBox.  


We received this great box in the mail and couldn't wait to see what was all inside.  To our delight, our box was all based on the theme Sun, Moon and Stars.  



It came with two different projects for us to complete,


a storybook, 


and a set of binoculars.  


In other words, everything any child could want to learn more about the universe!

Isabelle really wanted to create her own constellation.  She's really into stars and stickers, so it was the perfect activity for her.  The best part, I didn't have to get anything.  BabbaBox had all the tools and supplies necessary to complete the project along with step-by-step instructions.


Isabelle loved the stickers and creating her own constellation.




Now, I should mention that BabbaBox wasn't able to provide one crucial ingredient for this project and that was the sun.  I waited and waited and waited for the sun to shine, but alas I was stuck with overcast days.  Isabelle had her heart set on this project, so I decided to do what I could to still make it a success by using what light I had in the house.

Here she is immersing her project in water.


Letting it dry.

In the end, our project didn't go completely according to plan, but we had a great experience trying.  And sometimes that's the best part!


What I loved most about BabbaBox is the convenience of it all.  I literally had everything I needed to spend a few quality hours with my daughter delivered right to my doorstep.  I always intend to do crafts with Isabelle, but I always find myself not having what is needed on hand.  

Thanks BabbaBox!

my {P}INTERESTS

Who doesn't love Pinterest?  I sure enjoy browsing and repinning every now and then, so I thought I'd share a few of my most recent repins.

When you're in the mood to look like a pie.

Pinterest has definitely inspired me to want to sew.  It seems like such a useful skill and my bed is in major need of some decorative pillows.

never go with a hippie to a second location - 30 rock

I think decorating my daughter's {aka ISC} room with her own drawings is the best idea ever.

I took advantage of these freebies and downloaded the ROLL WITH IT picture in an 8x10 and had it printed at Costco.  It's now in a white frame and hangs above my kitchen sink.

Made these for dinner and they were delish.

So, there you have it.  A few of my {P}INTERESTS.

HAPPY {RE}PINNING!
