Hey Reader, I always joke that my husband and I have made it work and still are crazy about each other after more than 30 years together because we agree on the really important issues in life... Pepsi or Coke? Toilet paper over or under? Eat the oreo cream or cookie first? Cats or dogs? (The answer is both...always both!) And we both absolutely agree that we love MAY because it means more sunshine, more days outside, more days on the water...It's a glorious time of year! Once we agreed on all of those things...the rest just fell in place 🤣 If only that's how it worked. Life can be a challenge sometimes, and it's important to have people that you can lean all through ALL of it...good and bad. That's how we've made it work. OK...this doesn't sound anything like a craft email. I just wanted to put that out there. I hope that you have someone that is "your person". I feel so blessed to have such a great support through this crazy life. TODAY'S FREEBIE There are some very fun holidays that happen in May, including Cinco de Mayo. Here's something to make the holiday a little more fun! CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD YOUR CINCO DE MAYO HAT. IN THE SHOP Did you know that there's a World Migratory Bird Day in May? This year it's celebrated on the 10th. Of course, I think that making bird crafts is a good idea any time of the year.

Hey Reader, Some of my favorite memories from when my kids were little were our zoo days. Not only did we get to see and interact with amazing animals, but we usually went with good friends too. Zoo days are the absolute best! On one of our most memorable visits, we were so excited to see the new baby polar bear, and apparently it was excited to see us too...because as we were looking through the glass into the underwater part of its habitat, it swam right up to my son and tried to give him a...
