Once upon a time I considered myself to be pretty crafty. Fast forward to the last couple of years, and I feel like I barely have the time to get creative anymore! I am the queen of starting projects and not finishing them. Lucky for me, this little DIY project only takes about 10 minutes total. I've become addicted to painting these gingham pumpkins. They're so simple, but ... Read More
How to Make Your Own Slime
It's officially summer in our house. School is out, and this mama of three is desperately on the hunt for simple and fun activities to keep us occupied over the next few months. My kids love a good hands-on craft project, particularly one that involves something that's cool to play with and touch. Seeing as M&E are huge fans of play dough (who isn't?), I knew they would ...

Valentine’s Day Fun | Conversation Heart Boxes & Festive Popcorn
We're deep in the midst of winter here in the Northeast, which means the days tend to feel really long.

Simple Crochet Toddler Cowl
It's been a long, long time since I posted a knit or crochet pattern. After baby number three arrived, the spare time for these kind of things seemed to become nonexistent, but one of my biggest goals for the new year was to get back to the things that I find most fulfilling, and crocheting is one of those things. I've been making these toddler cowls for awhile now, my daughter ... Read More

DIY iPhone Case
I finally upgraded my iPhone recently... I know, welcome to 2016... and naturally since the size of my phone changed, the iPhone cover that I had been using on my previous phone, wouldn't fit on my new one. So, I hopped online and started shopping for a new case, and though there were a ton of amazing options, I wasn't so thrilled about the prices. $40 for a case just ... Read More
Ella's Dollhouse
Over the holidays, I shared a photo of Ella's big Christmas present, a dollhouse, on my Instagram feed (@kozyandco). So many of you were interested in the details, that I thought it was due time for a little post on how this semi DIY project came together. A few months ago, I settled on the idea that I wanted to gift our girl with a dollhouse this year. ... Read More
Crocheted Mini Bunting
I recently whipped up this mini bunting to hang in Ella's nursery, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the way it turned out. I love the touch of whimsy and the punch of color it adds to her room. I wanted to share the super simple pattern that I came up with, if any of you just so happened to want to create one of your own. What I love most about this project ... Read More
