interview with my kids ♥

I'm hoping to interview my kids every now and then, and post on my blog. I think it'll be so fun for them to look back on their answers! It's blowing my mind how quickly my little loves are growing in their learning, their bravery, their compassion, their physical size (how much they can eat!) and their precious walks of faith. I am deeply blessed to be their mama. I ♥ you!!

TP roll gift boxes

I've discovered my love language to others is very much gift giving. I love it. And the presentation is half the fun! My niece and nephews went to Florida and I wanted them to have a little something fun to open on the airplane. I put treats inside these, but you could really make these for any occasion you might want a cute lil package (jewelry, stickers, notes, tattoos, party favors)! It's just a toilet paper roll with the edges folded down and hot glued on one end. I used those Bingo dobbers and paints to decorate! The possibilities are endless :)
