It’s December 1st so I’m hoping you have your It’s December 1st so I’m hoping you have your advent calendar displayed all pretty somewhere! If not, it’s okay…I never get anything together on time these days! 🎄 I love a good countdown but it can def be a lot of work to prepare. This one that I made for @countrylivingmag a few years back is super easy, but it takes some prep—getting the pegboard, painting it, making the little ornament notes, etc. 🎄 My advice? Just package up 25 pieces of their leftover Halloween candy, number them, and string on a piece of ribbon. Even if it’s just a crumbly pack is Smarties, it’s still fun to open a treat everyday! #adventcalendar #diyadventcalendar #christmascrafts
Not much gets me talking on the ‘gram, but this Not much gets me talking on the ‘gram, but this is IMPORTANT! 💙 On this #cybermonday, help me raise some moolah for @raphaelwarnock so we can retain some dignity and keep a completely unqualified man out of the Senate. Watch the reel, share it, and help me raise money to keep Warnock in the Senate! I want bragging rights that we raised $1000 for @raphaelwarnock-that’s only 59 shirts! We can do this!💙💙💙

Don’t you feel like Thanksgiving came early this Don’t you feel like Thanksgiving came early this year with these midterm results? And now that I can breathe and start thinking about celebrating anything, I can also start sharing some fun, crafting ideas on how to set your table to celebrate home, warmth, family, and friends. I made these for the bright and lovely @revealmag, and sadly this was their last print issue. I so enjoyed crafting for the @ScottBrothers and @imlindork. This craft is 100% from your local @loweshomeimprovement or @Homedepot...and if your taste changes next year, just repaint them!
One of the central raison d’etres of #ProjectKid One of the central raison d’etres of #ProjectKid is to show kids that they have what it takes to be the designers of their world...by making decisions, starting from their point of view, using what they have and adding a little special sauce. Usually we communicate this with a craft showing how you can upcycle a yogurt tub into a cute desk accessory, but sometimes we hit pause on the home design crafts and get to speak to true action that kids can take to help make a difference. A few weeks ago I volunteered to host a craft table at #TheBigSend, a letter writing event with @votefwd @plannedparenthood , and @northsix The mission of the event was to put 10,000 letters in the mail to voters, urging them to get to the polls in whatever way they could. I had the pleasure of crafting with kids so their parents could get busy writing letters, but I was also so impressed to see kids write letters themselves. (I made all-blue 3D glasses, based on the idea of “seeing the world through rose-colored glasses”...but in this case, just making the world more bluetiful.) Big shout-out to @lovepipsticks for sending us the best dang stickers and tape with which to decorate! As I try to dispel the “do as I say not as I do” mantra in my own life, I want to urge parents to teach the DO AS I DO tactic. Show your kids how much voting matters, how we have to help lift up those around us that lack resources, and how we have to advocate for fairness, equity, and democracy. So whether your kids are wearing bluetiful glasses on #electionday or sporting your I VOTED sticker, let them see you voice your choice. Loud and proud, my friends! Oh, and buy them one of these cute shirts that we made! Proceeds go to @aclu_nationwide
✨BUY A T-SHIRT AND SUPPORT @raphaelwarnock in th ✨BUY A T-SHIRT AND SUPPORT @raphaelwarnock in the last few days of his Georgia senate run-off✨ With the #midtermelections less than a week away, it's pretty much all I can think about. Along with many of you, my husband and I proactively keep our kids informed about current social issues (that seem to be moving in a backwards direction). Based on the scouting tradition of earning badges for learning a new skill or deeper understanding, I designed this t-shirt to encourage families to talk openly together about these issues and our fundamental rights.  Please talk to your kids, watch videos, and share real stories about what is at stake. And buy a T-shirt (all proceeds support the @aclu_nationwide) so your kids can show off their earned badges! Click right on this pic to head to ProjectKid.com to buy! Education never ends…here are just a few resources for ways to talk to your kids about various issues… @theconsciouskid @akidsco @gretathunberg @pflag  @raicestexas  @reenabpatel @scarleteenorg (👚Shirts printed by the amazing @thebrooklynpress; patch illustrations designed by @hannahpeareater)

Sommer, a collector of snow globes, asked to be go as one this year for #halloween. 🌺 If you’ve ever googled #snowglobecostume, you’ve likely seen the Hawaii one made by a Brooklyn dad about 10 years ago. I tried to convince Sommer to represent another location but she really latched onto the hula idea, so here we are! It was a labor of love, but she was thrilled! (And as we walked home from a friends house in the rain, it was the ideal costume!)

These were supposed to appear on the October pages of @parents, but sadly the print magazine folded (RIP). Let’s be honest though…content never dies. If you’ve been torn over how to decorate you buddies, here are some fun projects for the weekend!

When I was in 7th grade, my bat mitzvah year, I wa When I was in 7th grade, my bat mitzvah year, I was in chorus (a required class) at an Episcopalian private school in Atlanta. I was a timid kid, rarely advocating for myself in personal or academic scenarios. In Dec. the chorus would perform the Christmas pageant on the day before winter break began. I decided ON MY OWN (a big thing for this bashful 12-year-old) that I didn’t feel comfortable singing about Christ our lord & whatnot, so I told my chorus teacher that I didn’t want to perform in the pageant. Her response to me was “just mouth the words.” I pushed back saying that still didn’t feel right, & she said “well, then I’m going to have to fail you.” Asking this studious kid to choose between her beliefs & an F was just too much to bear. So I went home and told my mom—and she, a child of a general’s asst in World War II who helped to liberate concentration camps—immediately called our rabbi to ask for advice. I’m not 100% clear on what happened behind the scenes, but I didn’t have to lip sync “O Little Town of Bethlehem”, nor did I fail the class. Instead I was given the job of candle-snuffer…I was to sit in the back of the chapel and make sure that none of the pew candles caught the greenery on fire. I got to wield a poll-length candle snuffer and I did a damn good job! 🕯️ Fast forward 2 months and on the day of my bat mitzvah, the rabbi’s speech to me was centered on the courage of this story. This was 1988, only 43 years after the Holocaust. We are now 77 year post and I can’t believe we are moving in the wrong direction. I obviously stand with the Jewish people—my friends, my family, and every single Jew that carries the ancestral trauma of the most horrifying time. I tend to live in a state of denial, or maybe it’s just a state of confusion that this type of unsound hate could actually exist and materialize into what we are seeing here in 2022. In Hebrew, the word shalom means hello, goodbye, & peace, so when ever you greet or part from others, you are asking for, wishing for, hoping for peace. ✌🏼Sweet illustration by @suzyultman.

📢 I'm interrupting this craft feed for this ver 📢 I'm interrupting this craft feed for this very important announcement! Go straight to my profile link, click on this pic, and add this book to your cart. And then, add one to the cart for any kid you know in college, for your brother or nephew, and maybe even send one to Brett Kavenaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, or John Roberts. A few years ago, when Kavenaugh was on the verge of getting confirmed to the Supreme Court, Gabrielle Blair, aka @designmom, wrote a Twitter thread that went viral. Her non-condescending, hand-holding thread was a real ah-ha moment, even for those of us fighting on the pro-choice team for decades. Just read these basic facts about birth control: ▫️Fertility: Men are 50 times more fertile than woman ▫️Pregnancy Prevention: 90% of the birth control market is for women ▫️Stigmas around birth control: condoms make sex less pleasurable, vasectomies are scary and emasculating ▫️And the kicker: Men, who are fertile 100% of the time, take little to no responsibility for preventing pregnancy. Also, I love to add this realization: Women are capable of making just about one baby a year. Men, on the other hand, can make 3, 6, or even 57 a day*! (*not a scientific study) On a personal note, I've had the true joy of knowing Gabby since 2006, when I hired her to do a story for Parents magazine when I was on staff. Since then I have followed all of her paths through the design and parenting world (she’s mom to 6 awesome kids!) from her blog to her incredible move to France to the creative entrepreneur conference that she founded called @AltSummit, of which I attend annually. I cannot support this book enough! I have never read something on this topic that is simultaneously SO logical, obvious, and undeniable. Please buy and share this book...not for the success of my friend, but for the shifting of mindsets. ps...Much to the chagrin of my son and his flushed cheeks, I'm psyched to wear this tote bag everywhere! pps...Shout out to my husband whose idea it was to photograph HIM reading the book on the stoop! Yes! #ejaculateresponsibly 💫Tomorrow is the offical pub date...go order now! https://amzn.to/3Vtqj2F

Sometimes the best way to get creatively unstuck i Sometimes the best way to get creatively unstuck is to simply just MAKE SOMETHING. Easier said than done, but if you take away the pressure to be perfect, you might discover something surprising in the process. These easy-to-make inkblot tote bags are the perfect project to help you create something beautiful with super low stakes. #ad We are so excited to be at @Altsummit on Friday in NYC to make these with attendees—you can spin a color wheel to remove the decision-making completely, letting chance play a part in the doing. Many thanks to our sponsor, @joann_stores for the perfect selection of materials! 🎨
Yom Kippur is one of the most sacred days in the J Yom Kippur is one of the most sacred days in the Jewish religion and is the holiday that I take the most seriously. It's the day of repentance...a day to review your past year, both internally and out-loud with your loved ones, while you start to think ahead to the coming year. Our family of four has observed the holiday in different ways, but two things remain the same: one, we go without something for the day. Tradition states that you don't eat, but I'm of the mind that if you pass on something that feels essential to your life, like digital devices, it works the same. (I know, it's sad that those two are grouped together, but I'm being very real here.)  And secondly we have a family gathering, usually in nature if the weather permits, where we share what we are grateful for, remorseful for, and what we would like to grow in the coming year. We write it down and I seal them in an envelope that we open the following Yom Kippur. It allows us to really track where we were, to see if those ideas still feel important, and how well we achieved them. There is no judgement if things didn't go as planned...we recognize that we are growing, changing beings that morph on a daily basis.  Last year I made a little questionnaire to shake things up a bit, and I've uploaded it to projectkid.com if you are interested in using it. (You can access it via the link in my profile.) Even if you don't celebrate Yom Kippur, it's pretty rad to have a ritual where you review family values, forgiveness, and goals. (And the kids love to laugh at last year's handwriting and spelling mistakes!)
