I’m a 30 year old stay at home mom, who loves to “make and take”. I have one great and handsome hubby, and two beautiful kids. You’ll see my kids a lot in these projects as they are my guinea pigs and who Iam creative for. Before life as a mother, I graduated with a teaching degree in Early Childhood & Elementary Education, after which I taught four years of Kindergarten. After my first child, I decided to read books and sing silly songs at home. I miss the classroom, but I now get to bring the fun and learning into my home.

The story of the Make and Takes: My sisters and I often get together and they usually get to go home with something that I have brought for us to make together. There have been magnets, felt books, pillows, cards, you name it. My brother-in-law Brian always teases me and says, “What did you Make and Take today?” But I really do like to create and am always coming up with new and fun things to do. I also love to share these exciting finds - Hence the Make and Take. I am excited to write down what I know, if not for anyone else to read, but for organizing my own ideas.
I hope to provide you with good ideas and things to “make and take” yourselves. Please comment with any help, news, or suggestions.
