Fairy Houses – How To Create Them WITH Nature

By Leave a Comment

Fairy houses are a favorite of Sisters Know Best!  Whether you believe in fairies or not, fairy houses are a cute mini-project that add a touch of whimsy to every home or garden. There are many different ways to make a fairy house, but we like to use the bounty of nature to make ours. Living in the woods, it’s easy to collect twigs, moss, stones, bark, and other items to construct a completely natural fairy house. It’s a fun DIY project that younger kids can help with and older children will enjoy doing on their own. Adults love it too!

Easy Campfire Food Your Family Will Love

By Leave a Comment

We love campfire food and camping out during the summer! It’s great bonding time with the family and there’s really nothing like sleeping under the stars and making memories around the campfire. Fellow campers know that one of the more enjoyable parts of camping (once you’ve set up your tent, of course) is cooking over the campfire. It’s lots of fun, but so often winds up with burnt food or hot dogs lost to the flames. Ugh! Instead of that huge bummer, give these easy campfire food ideas a try!  [Read more…]

Instead, you need outdoor games that are fun for kids and adults. These DIY backyard games provide hours of entertainment for the whole family! Your house will be the cool place to come for cookouts, backyard fun, and making memories this summer! [Read more…]

Get Crafty with Nature

By 2 Comments

We love to get outside in the nice weather. Spending time in the woods or near water makes me feel so connected to nature. Every nature walk or beach trip I can’t help but pick up bits of nature that I find interesting. Rocks, shells, moss, acorns, etc. They all wind up in my pockets and then in my house. I can’t bear to part with them, but they also look silly sitting in piles everywhere. I finally got the bright idea to use them to make craft projects! [Read more…]

Rock Art and Big Magic

By Leave a Comment

Have you seen it yet?  Rock Art – easy, cheap, creative, fun, addictive!  It’s all these things!  Oh, and requires readily available supplies.

We first saw Rock Art on Pinterest.  It was cute.  It made us smile.  We pinned a few pictures.  We said we’d do it. Well, we finally did; and we think you should as well!  (Stay tuned for the Big Magic – it’s near the end of this post.) [Read more…]

WILD and NOT SO WILD ANIMALS

By Leave a Comment

kayaksLet me just say as far as sisters go, Chris is the wild one…  But I’m the one who lives with the wild animals — and not so wild animals!  Photo at left is of my sons.

A few weeks ago I went for a fishing/kayaking trip with my guys.  I brought a book.  Love to kayak, but not so much on fishing.  I’ll eat fish; I’ll cook fish; I’ll even flyfish, but I will not clean a fish.  Ick!  But this post is not about fish. [Read more…]
