Hello! It's Megan from Homemade Ginger again. Today I'm sharing a super easy craft that is perfect for Mother's Day or Father's Day! We have embarked on allergy season around here. Three out of my four kids have pretty bad allergies and this week has just been miserable! I love that all of the trees and flowers are blooming, but it makes me sad to see my kids struggling so much with itchy eyes, runny noses and sneezing constantly. We have been limiting our time outdoors until everything … [Read more...]
