šÆš¦ Zoo Animal Crafts šµš¦

ā 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 big bear hug (probably thought he would make a tasty lunch). I wish that I could find that picture to show you now, but that was before the age of digital images. But...it felt sort of like this... ā FIRST, A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS...I love crafts so much, but there are other things that I want to share with you sometime here...things that I love and know will make your life a little easier. Then it came to me...COFFEE! If there were anything in this world that parents need (aside from the required 8 hours of sleep) to make their day better, it's a good cup of coffee to start off the day. Each week, I settled for whatever coffee was on sale, missing out on true flavor. Then I discovered Trade, a specialty coffee marketplace featuring over 450 handpicked roasts from passionate small-batch roasters worldwide. My perfect cup was just a quiz away! Freshly roasted and delivered within 48 hours, Trade has completely transformed my mornings, and Iām so excited to share it with you.

Hey Reader, One of my favorite memories from when my boys were little was when we visited a dairy farm (which is a little ironic since my oldest is super allergic to milk š). My youngest was so quiet the entire time...very out of character for him. Later we realized it was just because he was so mesmerized by all there was to take in. He talked about that trip for MONTHS afterward...maybe years. Visiting a farm is an experience I would highly recommend. TODAY'S FREEBIE The best way to craft...
