IF...

you like to host play-dates but the thought of cleaning-and-prepping-for-said play-date-then-hosting-the-play-date-then-cleaning-up-after-said-play-date gives you hives, if you love the idea of getting creative with your littles but the idea of "post getting creative" often gets in the way of actually creating, if you ever get cabin fever and/or seek conversation with other non-littles,

IF....

you're a parent that loves spending quality time with your kids, if your kids enjoy tinkering, creating and open-ended play, and if your family thinks its important to do a little good in the world, 

...THEN

we're a match made in heaven and we hope to see you soon!  :)

. Today’s Mini Makers and Creators summer camp theme was wearables! . I cannot wait to hand out the tie dyed shirts that they made tomorrow! 😍 It’s amazing that the same 3 primary colors yield such different and awesome results! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 . We may have also made super hero capes (powers include “stronger than Superman” and “more powerful than Wonder Woman”, “swimming like a shark”, and “running faster than lightening”), mystical creature necklaces, rainbow 🌈 gluten free waffles for lunch, and friendship bracelets among other things 👍🏼👍🏼
. We had our first day of camp today! We had sooooo much fun!!! But when I got home...I was bushed 😂 . My 7 year old really wanted to cook, so we pulled out one of my favorite, yummy but quick and easy recipes - browned butter pasta with sage, figs and poached egg. Took less than 15 minutes total time. . We salted then boiled water for the pasta. For the browned butter sauce, she cut up 5 TBSP’s of butter and put them in the pan for later. We then started simmering another pot of water for the poached eggs. . Poached eggs: Once the water started simmering (some tiny bubbles, big bubbles break apart the egg (see photo)), we gently slid in our eggs one at a time. See stories for how I used a spoon to keep the egg whites together-ish. We turned off the stove, covered the pot and left the eggs for 4 minutes. . Browned butter sauce: Over medium heat, she kept stirring the butter until it started bubbling, turned brownish and smelled nutty. She then turned off the heat, and added the sage and figs. . Add noodles. No draining needed. She plopped them into the sauce directly from the pot because we like the salted noodle water 😬 . Add poached egg, and salt and pepper to taste. Done and yum, enjoy!
Was in awe of all the amazing creations made this week! Shown is a little’s art piece made for his daddy for Father’s Day. 😍 . Littles selected materials from our reincarnate art buffet, did Miro-esque freehand on transparency paper, then layered to finish their master pieces 🤗 . We also loved how many languages were represented 🤗
. We celebrate all you awesome daddies this Father’s Day! . We hope you feel oh so loved and super duper special 🤗...and that your munchkin/s are on their best behavior all day long 😬👍🏼 . And to those of you who carry heavy burdens on this day, we send you much love and pray that a peace that transcends understanding envelopes you ❤️ 🙏🏼
. Ok, as evidenced, I really need to clean my iPhone from sunscreen, hand lotion, and other generally gunky things so photos are clearer ...🙄😂 . But I digress 😬. Today’s MicroCreatives Playgroup was a mess....yass! 🙌🏼 . The (clean!) toilet-plunger-paint-tools became snow cones for the red, and blue, then purple instant snow! . All feet resembled smurf feet by the end, littles created gorgeous wood frames for Father’s Day, lemon prints were on point 👌🏼 and colored rice got some major air 😂 . We’ve been asked for Saturday playgroups and preschool post school playgroups. Join our waitlist to be first in the know when we launch these 🤗 . Oh, and I used a piece of the plunger and foot art as wrapping paper 😬
(1) Drop in spot open for tomorrow’s MicroCreatives Playgroup! Call us at 650-993-9097 to join in on the mess...🙄...we mean, the fun 😬!
