In case anyone was questioning getting the "teal" colored one it fits Both my 4 year old & 20 month old PLUS my 4year old can lay down & have plenty of room! It also has an opening with a net on the back for air flow, can't wait to use this at the beach this year!!☀️

MY 12 year old granddaughter painted this. She used gold foil for the windows and door.
My granddaughter hasn't been to church since her grandfather died last Christmas. Says she doesn't see the point anymore, that God took away the one person who made her feel safe. I stopped pushing after the third Sunday she refused to get dressed.
She's been staying with me more since then. Her parents are fighting about the inheritance, about who gets the house, about everything except how their twelve-year-old is handling losing the man who taught her to fish and let her stay up late watching old westerns.
Found her last week working on this church scene. White clapboard building in the snow, two pine trees, a star above the steeple. Used real gold foil for the windows and door, said she wanted the light to look like it was actually glowing from inside.
I asked why she chose a church and she got quiet for a long time. Then she said it's because Grandpa used to say churches were just buildings, but the light inside them was what mattered. The people, the love, the way you felt when someone was genuinely happy to see you.
She said she's been painting churches because she's trying to remember that feeling. Trying to find the light again even though right now everything feels dark.
We hung it in my living room where afternoon sun hits that gold foil and makes it shine. She stood there looking at it, then asked if I thought Grandpa would have liked it. I told her he would have been so proud he'd have cried.
Posted this in a crafting group on Tedooo app and got messages from three people wanting to commission similar pieces. Started a small shop there last week with her mother's permission. Just a few paintings so far, winter scenes mostly, each one with a little bit of gold catching the light.
She still doesn't go to church. But she's painting them, and maybe that's her own kind of prayer.
Please write to her if you think this is beautiful. She reads every comment and gets so excited when people say nice things. She doesn't get enough compliments outside of what I tell her, and I'm just her grandma, so hearing it from strangers means more than you'd think.

I drive past this mailbox twice a week picking my granddaughter from school, and it drives me nuts every time! Today I was finally able to get a suitable shot as I drove by at 30mph!
I must clarify that I am a graphic designer by trade, so the proper display of letters and numbers is important to me.
If you can pick out the one thing that drives me crazy, congrats… you are as dull as me.
Hint: It’s not the typeface! 😉

I'll never forget the look on Mark's face when he opened that pizza box.
We'd been married 23 years and birthdays had become so predictable. A card, maybe Olive Garden if we weren't too tired. Then I found out his coworker's wife surprised him with a whole weekend trip to Nashville and I'm sitting in Target crying over a $12 card with a golf joke on it.
I remembered seeing these money pizza things on Tedooo. Mark loves his Friday scratch-offs, and Thursday night pizza is basically sacred in our house. So I drove to three stores getting different colored tickets, rolled up bills with coins as pepperonis, sweet-talked Domino's into giving me an empty box.
The tricky part was finding enough variety in the scratch-offs without buying out the whole gas station. I ended up grabbing some through this crafter on the Tedooo app who'd bought a bunch for a fundraiser that got cancelled. She had all these different designs which made it look way better than my original plan.
Stuck a card in the middle that said "The best part of the pizza is the dough." Corny, but Mark loved it!
He won $50 on one of the tickets, took me to this little Italian place we used to love before the kids, and we laughed like idiots for two hours. I've been making them for friends' birthdays since, and I always check Tedooo first because people sell the exact tickets or supplies I need.
Turns out you're never too old to surprise each other. You just have to actually try.

Six months ago my husband left us for his coworker. Just packed a bag and said he "needed to find himself." Left me with two daughters, Emma who's 5 and little Sophie who just turned 2. No warning, no savings, nothing. I had to sell our house within 60 days and we moved into a tiny one-bedroom apartment because that's all I could afford working part-time at a grocery store.
The girls had to share a room with me for the first two months. We all slept in one bed because I couldn't buy them their own. Sophie would wake up crying every night asking for daddy. Emma stopped talking almost completely. My heart was shattering into smaller pieces every single day watching them go through this.
I couldn't afford beds. I looked everywhere. Even the cheapest ones were $200 each and I had $43 in my bank account after rent and groceries. One night after the girls fell asleep I just sat on the kitchen floor and cried until 3am. Felt like the worst mother in the world.
Then my neighbor Mike knocked on my door. He's a retired carpenter, 68 years old, lost his wife to Alzheimer's last year. He heard Emma tell his dog that she "sleeps on the floor now because daddy took the money." I didn't even know she understood what happened. Mike didn't say much, just asked me for the girls' measurements and left.
Two weeks later he showed up with this bed. Built it himself in his garage. The fairy lights were his wife's, he said she always kept them in the garden and he wanted them to "light up someone's life again." I completely broke down. Couldn't even speak.
He also connected me with crafters on the Tedooo app who were looking for help with shipping and packaging. Now I work from home doing that while the girls sleep, and I even started selling my own handmade hair accessories for little girls there. Last week I made $releasing 340. It's not much but it's mine.
The first night the girls slept in this bed, Emma reached over the little divider and held Sophie's hand. She looked at me and said "Mommy, we're okay now, right?" I took this photo right after. Can barely look at it without crying.
Mike passed away two months ago. Peaceful, in his sleep. I found out he left me his wife's sewing machine in his will with a note that said "make beautiful things for those little angels." Now I use it for every single order from my Tedooo shop.
We're gonna be okay. I know that now

I am 72 years old and recently divorced after a 36 year marriage. Obviously my ex-husband found me dull and I have to agree with him since I do all manner of dull things that irritated him intensely. Some of these are knitting, pottery, floral design, sewing, baking, canning, gardening, mothering both children and animals. I built a cob oven outside for making pizza and all sorts. I am so dull that when I use it, I often singe my hair and eyebrows, just from the heat produced. I make exceedingly dull pottery which my ex-husband said looked like kindergarten projects. I would say "folk art" but what can you expect from a former elementary school teacher? Of course, it goes without saying that teachers are dull. Even my dog is dull. He is so even tempered he doesn't even chase my chickens . Although I live on a busy main road in Seacoast New Hampshire I have had black bears, moose, deer, foxes, coyotes, skunks, groundhogs, a bobcat - just to name a few - but I am so dull that these creatures ignore me completely (although not my chickens). My parakeets were so bored that they laid two nests of eggs and raised 9 babies just to have something to do. Now that I am divorced I'm sure I will settle even more firmly into my dullness. I wear a size 71/2 shoe, which is a popular and therefore dull size. I'm not sure what the bananas are all about but I usually eat one everyday which makes both me and the banana extremely unimaginative.

So my daughter asked my 89 year young mom to crochet her garter for her upcoming wedding. She asked for her to use her own creative idea with a tiny bit of blue. Needless to say it was a huge hit from my talented mom.
