Mackinaw Road Mondays: 5 At Home Art Projects
Hello there! I hope this finds you well and hanging in there. We had our first week of forward online learning. There were A LOT of ups and downs and all of the emotions. The teachers are simply amazing and have taken on the role of on-line teachers/parent support therapists in stride! We also try to do a little extracurricular activity daily. Art is something that we all enjoying doing and (most of time) has a relaxing effect on us. Here are 5 At Home Art Projects that we have tried.

Mackinaw Road Monday: Mood Boards & Headboards
Hi all! Apparently, there is a thing call Mood Board Monday. And, since we’re all hunkering down, I thought it would be fun to jump on that bandwagon. Planning and dreaming sound like a great escape. And, really, it goes so well with all of the alliteration already happening in the Monday title. I had signed up for the One Room Challenge this spring. Thankfully, it has been postponed until May. A bonus is that it gave me time to really consider my choices. You know, since I haven’t waffled enough over the past year regarding the Beach Cabin.

Tips for an Under $25 Grout Refresh
Hi there! A couple of weekends ago, I attempted what seemed would be a “quick DIY” (do those even exist?!?) in our kids’ bathroom. I had purchased some grout refresh six months ago with every intention to complete this project before Christmas.

And I completely made it soooo much more difficult than it needed to be. A LOT of this was do to user error/not reading the directions carefully, but I thought I’d share what I learned anyway.
