Motivational Wallpaper – Stop Scrolling – Summer Edition
Last year, I made a background for my phone that said Stop scrolling – do this instead with some images on activities that I could do instead of being on my phone. I remember it was during a season that I was really busy as a mom and I had to find some time every day to recharge. It is so easy to use the little time that we are given to spend as we wish on our phones. Stop Scrolling Motivational Wallpaper I think I need a reminder of not spending the few minutes I get in the evening when the kids are sleeping on my phone, so I…

Easter Knit – FREE Knitting Patterns
Easter is here, and I got in the mood to cast on something fun and fast for Easter week. As I had some yellow yarn in my yarn stash, I decided to start knitting yellow socks for our youngest child.

That is so nice!…

Snowy Coloring Pages 2026
Here are some snowy coloring pages that are made through Canva and that are free to download and color for personal use. This week we are visiting my family in Finland for Christmas, and our expectations were that we would go skiing.
