We Are In This Together

April 10, 2020

We made it into another quarantine week, Yay! I’m so exhausted, but I always find energy to make some art with my girls.

My girls are very into arts, and that’s how we start most of our days. I have set up their art space in my office, which we now call it our ‘atelier’ – a great way I found to keep them entertained while I work on my own projects.

I have been reading the Easter story for V since Palm Sunday this week, and yesterday I read the part when Jesus dies. She got sad, but after said: “but Jesus is alive, mommy… ”, and I replied back: “He is, and always with us”. She smiled, and said “everything is going to be ok”, I kissed her and She went to sleep. Today, we decided to make rainbows as a symbol of Hope and remembering Jesus for Good Friday.

We pray for all those affected by this terrible crisis, and please remember… You are never alone ???

PS: We used peeps (yes, the candy) as stamps to make bunnies to give it a final touch.

Tamo Junto!

Mais uma semana na quarentena… Conseguimos, viva! Estou acabada, mas eu sempre encontro energia para criar algum tipo de arte com minhas meninas. Se você assiste minhas stories, já deve ter visto nossas criações.

Minhas filhas adoram arte, e é fazendo muita que começamos a maioria dos nossos dias. Eu criei até um espaço para elas no meu escritório, que agora chamamos de “nosso atelier” – um jeito que achei delas ficarem entretidas, enquanto trabalho nos meus próprios projetos. No domingo de Palmas comecei a ler a história da Páscoa para a Vivi. Ontem chegamos na parte em que Jesus morre. Vivi ficou triste de primeiro momento, mas depois disse “mamãe, Jesus está vivo!”. Eu respondi, “está! E está sempre conosco”. Ela então sorriu e terminou: “tudo vai acabar bem”. Eu dei um beijo nela, e ela dormiu .


Hoje nós fizemos um arco-íris simbolizando esperança. A esperança que temos em Cristo, e lembrando Dele nesta sexta-feira santa. Nós oramos para todos os afetados nesta crise terrível… por favor se lembre: você nunca está sozinho ???.

Obs. usamos o “peeps” (sim, o doce) como carimbo para fazer os coelhinhos, para dar o toque final.

Daily Calendar Activities with your Little One

March 12, 2020

By Luci Fioritto

With the global outbreak of the Coronavirus vírus and the spread among communities, the number of children at home is increasing with school closings. I see parents with the challenge of keeping children busy while at home, so here something I found in my local library worth sharing. 

I love to make crafts with my daughters – it’s a way I find to making memories while helping them with their development. While at the my local library a couple of months ago, I found this calendar posted in the youth area that you can print at home, with daily activities you can do with your little one at home to keep them busy. 

From Demco.com

I have been using this calendar since January and it is so helpful. I get so many ideas from it. For example, with my 4 years old preschooler, we are learning the alphabet and words that start with respective letters. Today is March 12 2020 – according with the calendar, it’s flower day! So we are learning words that start with the letter F and making flowers as part of our art project of the day as you see pictured, besides planting seeds together like the calendar suggested. Carolina who is 18 months also is part of it, of course with some adjustments for her age group.

My girls love it and it is now part of our routine to check the calendar every day to see what’s going on. 

Here’s the link for you to print the calendar of your choice accordingly with your age group. Let me know if you like it in comments! 

Cheers!
