Caboodle Doodles!

















Have you seen my new YouTube series, Caboodle Doodles, yet? No?! What are you waiting for? Go HERE to see the newest episode

In this episode, I grabbed The Big Book of Drawing, Doodling, and Coloring (which, for right now, is on customer special for ONLY $8! It's a steal!) and started with, what I thought, was a pretty easy page.

I am no artist, clearly. BUT I do enjoy a good, relaxing coloring session. I don't care if you're 3, 30, or 300 years old, it's very clear that coloring has some serious benefits for individuals.

Did you know?

  • Coloring provides a meditative state of mind
  • Coloring lowers stress and anxiety levels
  • Coloring helps you focus on the present task in front of you
  • Coloring aids in practicing problem solving skills
  • Coloring activates the creative side of your brain
  • And coloring can help develop fine motor skills

If you're like me, join me on this little adventure! Grab yourself a copy of the book HERE or go to "Shop" at the top of this page and fill up your cart with $40 of amazing books and grab it for only $8 under the customer special (for limited time). Join me on YouTube every Wednesday, and use #CaboodleDoodles on Instagram to tag and post your creations! I'd love to see what you all can do while having your own relaxing coloring session!

How to Have A Good Sick Day

I consider myself pretty stinkin lucky because I have two girls who are extremely close. They are more than sisters, they are best friends. For the most part, when they're together, they play SO well together. Eleanor looks up to her big sister with wide eyes soaking up everything she does and Penelope wraps her arms around her little sister and guides her through learning new things daily.

And really, that was for 2 reasons. 1) My kiddos get along like crazy (about 90% of the time. There's still room for sibling confrontation because, hey, they're human). and 2) Sticker books. Yup, that's right, sticker books. We have so many sticker books because I stock up on those suckers in bulk! You never know when there might be a birthday party you've forgotten about and need a last minute gift. Or when there's a surprise snow ...
