Middle School Beginnings - Selfie Sunday

Middle School beginnings and more to come – Selfie Sunday

Middle school beginnings can be so rough, but I am super happy to say the twins are handling it like champs! They have great friends and great attitudes. We’ve had some bumps that are typical at their age, but we are working through them. Every night ends with “I love you”, and every morning starts with “good morning.” So I call that a win.

Vada starting her Diamond Dotz

Diamond Dotz are fun for kids, too!

I had so much fun making my Diamond Dotz canvas that I was sure these would be craft kits kids would like too. Turns out I was right, Diamond Dotz are a big hit with the girls. I wasn’t sure if their attention span would last, but Kyla and Vada found it so fun that they finished them in a couple of days. There are also some smaller kits that can be done in one sitting if you don’t have the time or the space for a larger/longer project. So if you are looking for craft kits kids would like, look no further than Diamond Dotz!

Canvas Art kits from Royal & Langnickel done

Canvas Art – fun with the kids!

Quality and creativity go hand in hand with Canvas Art kits from Royal & Langnickel. These art kits come with a printed canvas and markers or paint. I got 2 of each for the girls to try out, though they would be suitable for adults as well (I was a little jealous that I didn’t have any to paint myself!)

Making Stickers with Xyron

The girls are at it again making some cool stickers from Xyron. See why they think the Xyron Sticker Maker is so fun and easy to use.

The products reviewed in this post were provided by Xyron.

Making Stickers with Xyron from Jessie At Home

I was recently given some 3″ disposable/recyclable Xyron sticker makers for the girls to review.

We started out by designing the stickers. The girls each drew some of there own, and I also printed them both out some mandalas to color from THIS SITE. The printables are at the end of the post and you do have to sign up to get them, but you won’t get spammed, don’t worry!

Super Bowl Sunday and other such fun!

We’ve had a fun-filled couple of weeks here At Home. Last Saturday (the day before the Super Bowl), we had a relaxing day at home. That’s always nice.

Just Chillin'

Then on Sunday we went to a friend’s house for a Super Bowl party. Our friend Chris was there. Kyla adores him and calls him “Dude”. They are adorable together. He’s also a brand new daddy, hence the big mug of coffee.

10 years old!

Wow, 10 years of Jessie at Home, thank you my constant readers and even the not so constant ones. What will the next 10 bring? Let’s find out together!

Can you believe it, Jessie At Home is 10 years old today! That’s right, my first post was 10 years ago. It’s crazy to think I’ve been typing away (on several different laptops) for so long. And some of you have been with me for most of that time. Wow! I really adore all of you, weather this is the first post of mine you’ve ever read, or weather you’ve read all of them (hi Mom and Dad!) Thank you.

Patriots-win!

It all started

Fall fun!

See what’s shakin’ with the Rayot girls at home from Holloween to Thanksgiving.

How has your fall been, my friends? I thought I’d share a bit about ours today.

Halloween 2017

The girls had a great Halloween. Kyla was Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars Clone Wars (the animated series, not the movie). Vada was a spider fairy. They got lots of candy and had a blast.
