Single mama craft night 🐟🤍 The night’s masterpiece started as an empty cardboard box. 📦 🎨 We drew fish, cut them out using the best tool ever (electric cardboard cutter), painted them every color imaginable, and somehow turned something headed for the recycling bin into an evening we’ll probably remember forever…and they’ll probably repeat with their kids, while never seeing a box 📦 the same. 🐠 The funny thing is, the older I get, the more I realize the things my girls talk about later aren’t the perfectly planned days, rather the messy nights. 🖌️ It’s the fish made from cardboard. The paint on their hands. The giggles when Brave started shaking her brush like a catholic priest at a baptism for a hot second… The way the sun hit the lake and dropped into the horizon while we played. These are the moments that build a childhood. Not because they’re big. Because they’re little. Including big sister making little sister a homemade “roll” of stickers to avoid a meltdown out of the toilet paper roll 🧻… 💪 And if there’s one thing this single mama is learning, kidding, it’s always many things we learn, but one is it’s that a beautiful life isn’t made from having everything. It’s made from making something out of whatever you’ve got. ✨ What was your favorite childhood craft or memory? ⬇️ Booking out our summer with nights like this 🪄 motherhood craft ot mom art LTKvlog LTKKids LTKmomlife
