Handling Stress

by Stacy on October 23, 2011

inspirational quotes

On days when things seem overwhelming and you feel as if you might break — remember you are precious, but not perfect! You are a diamond in the rough. Keep hanging in there and before you know it the whole world will see you shine.

Love,
Stacy

KSW Loves Halloweenies

by Stacy on October 23, 2009

Details here

Get her here

Witches and Pirates and Ballerinas, Oh My! I’m swooning with delight over these FREE adorable downloads Babalisme is so graciously sharing with us for Halloween. What a fun activity for children at a Halloween Party, or as a take home gift, or even as an alternative to Halloween candy if you’re a zealous paper cutter. I’ll be cutting my own version soon, but these were way too cute not to share. Pass on the cuteness, then stop by Babalisme and tell her all about it :)

A Valentine’s to Remember

by Stacy on February 5, 2009

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about marketing and merchandising – disregard the VDay Gift Guide we posted earlier :)

More than likely it is the sentimental meaning behind Valentine’s Day: the one about showing love and affection to those who matter most to us that we would like to pass along to our children. KSW understands that philosophy, in fact, we love that philosophy. We love it so much that we’ve compiled some great resources to help you share a simple, heartfelt, meaningful handmade holiday at home with your child. (Boy that was a mouthful)
