As I scroll through my feed, there’s a very even mix of “normal” content—pretty crafts, immaculate rooms, cute kiddos—and then people talking about how #familiesbelongtogether. . My husband always reminds me that PROJECT KID should speak not just about projects to do with and for your kids, but also about how your KID is your PROJECT. And with any project there is a learning curve, discovery, struggle, and uncertainty. I think I’ve been afraid to address those topics because I’m not really a reporter...I’m just a little crafter that could. But as the minutes, days, and years go by, both as a parent to two projects and as a citizen of this world, I realize that the absence of social, developmental, and sometimes political content is making me feel more limited and lost. . So here begins a slight shift in #ProjectKid...lots of fun unplugged activities to keep your kids wide-eyed and creative, but also seeds of conversations that matter to me, and I hope matter to you. . If you have the time to read the Families Belong Together post from my profile link, that would be lovely. It offers ways to help and a great post link by @cupofjo. . This print featured here is by @chicnawdie and all of the proceeds from sales go to @raicestexas.
When I made these #cactus sneakers two years ago, I was worried that the cactus craze would be over before the post went live. Clearly I was wrong. Long live the love of 🌵! Ps...visit my profile link to see how I easily made the cactus shapes!

Have you ever made ice cream in a @ziploc bag? Sounds nuts but it’s actually easy and delish! Here’s what you do: 1. In a resealable sandwich bag, mix 1/2 cup half & half, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla 2. In a large @ziploc put 3 cups of crushed ice and 1/3 cup course salt. 3. Seal small bag and put it in the bag of ice. Shake it and mush it all around and in less than 10 minutes, you have ice cream! . Add some shaved chocolate or chopped up strawberry 🍓! . Your kids would think you’re a magician. #homemade #homemadeicecream #icecream #iscreamyouscreamweallscreamforicecream #kitchenscience
Adventure, risk, innovation, and connections. He shared so much of the world with so many. This quote says it all. . This week makes me hurt so deeply for people in such profound pain. #anthonybourdain #katespade (via @acecampstravel)
Spent last night at the @parkavearmory’s preview of the #nickcave piece, #theletgo. After 20 or so men were slowly and meticulously dressed in his #soundsuits as Vy Higginsen’s @SingHarlemChoir performed, we got to dance and move through a 30’ Mylar curtain snaking through the drill hall. . Powerful, inspiring, heartbreaking, and rejoiceful at the same time. #paatheletgo . See more in my stories!
I’m the worst at giving gifts on time...especially the big ones (weddings, bar mitzvahs, graduations), but I’ve talked myself into the idea that a late gift is like a surprise! Makes sense, right? . I had these embroidered portraits of my kids, niece, and nephew made by @polykatoikia for my parents’ 70th birthdays. And I did it in under a year! 👏🏻 .
