creative crafting and design.
I know the official start of Fall is quite a-ways away, but it is my favorite season and I have a tendency to start celebrating it early! Growing up in Florida we celebrated fall “early” in November…but since moving to California and then to Indiana, I have found a whole new appreciation for the season. [...]
During a recent run of thunder storms, I was hard-pressed to find something exciting to occupy little man’s time. After doing some research on Pinterest, I thought it would be fun to have a goop play day. Using a standard oobleck “recipe,” I mixed up 1/4 c. of corn starch and 1/4 c. water. I [...]

This book holder has been a LONG time coming and I’m so relieved to be able to share it with you! 44 weeks ago I pinned this image from Penny Carnival. I’ve had everything I needed to make one of these for at least a good 3 months now. When I finally got myself around [...]
Being in our new house has caused me to re-evaluate my cleaning habits. Keeping up with this place can be quite a chore {cheesy pun intended}, so I’ve started working on a cleaning schedule for myself. I have gotten into a pretty good weekly cleaning habit, but I’m still developing my monthly and quarterly chores. [...]
This has been such an exciting week for the Atkinson Drive blog! We are just into our 3rd month, and we’ve hit over 10,000 views. That might not seem like a lot for some more seasoned blogs, but I am really encouraged and can’t wait to see what the future will bring…I look forward to [...]
This week we covered the letter B in ‘school’ and we had SO much fun with bananas & butterflies! Here’s our school week as told by Instagram… Banana! by Ed Vere. Furious George Goes Bananas by Michael Rex. Detective Small in the Amazing Banana Caper by Wong Herbert Yee. Ms. Hannah Is Bananas! by Dan [...]
I have a feeling you will thank me for sharing this recipe with you. As much as I hate to admit this, I am extremely picky about my breakfast casseroles. Those traditional ones that are holiday staples have been something I avoided my whole life…probably mostly because of the mushrooms. I tend to be a [...]
Recently, little man has been displaying signs that he’s ready to potty train. According to most, he’s still a little young {for a boy} to potty train – and I know that the earlier you push for it the more difficult of a process it can be. I had been putting off officially potty training [...]
Today I’m sharing a super quick and easy project with you. For some time now I’ve been trying to come up with a simple centerpiece idea that can easily switch between my dining table and kitchen island. Most of the time our kitchen table is too full of clutter to have anything pretty on it, [...]
Since February I have had the paint for little man’s room sitting in the garage. As everything else in his room has started coming together, I feel I have no choice but to actually get motivated and paint his room. I really wanted to paint chevrons on his wall…I am obsessed! Love them. 1. 2. [...]
In case you didn’t know, I am a couponer – not one of those crazy people that go dumpster diving {not anymore at least}, but because I coupon, I have a decent stockpile of pantry items. We also for some reason have a TON of kitchen gadgets. I honestly have no idea how we ended [...]
This week has been so crazy with the husband hurting his foot and all. I can tell you it’s 10 times more difficult to take care of a 2-year-old when you also have to wait hand and foot {no pun intended} on your husband also! Since I don’t have much time to blog I’ll be [...]
A few months ago I interviewed with a family to become a nanny for their two young children. It was basically a done deal {before they ended up backing out} and so I did a ton of planning to get ready. I wanted to make sure that we had lots of fun activities to try [...]
