Welcome to Our Guest Host, Stephanie!

Meet Stephanie from Casa Watkins, our Guest Host!

• Casa Watkins l Facebook l Pinterest l Twitter l Instagram l G+

Hola Amigos!  Stephanie Watkins here! I am the Dominicana behind Casa Watkins.  Before I became a wife and mom, I was first a big time crafter.  I am so excited to share my DIY crafts and decor with you all.  My project gallery page has all my projects since Casa Watkins began.  Adivina Que (Guess what)?  Casa Watkins is not only a place for DIY projects and decor, but also a resource for bilingual homeschooling parents.  Inparting my Latin heritage and Spanish language to my children is very important.  Doing so is a bit of a struggle when you’re the only one who speaks Spanish in your home.  It’s even harder when you can’t find teaching materials for toddlers in Spanish and English.  So, I started making some of my own.  Check them out on my Spanish Tot school page.

My Featured Picks!

Here’s a couple shares from last week that I absolutely LOVE!  Make sure you visit the other hosts too to see their featured picks….it might be you! :)

These colorful yard dice by Houseful of Handmade are so fun!  I’m sure the kiddos would have a great time playing Yahtzee or any other game….even one made up like Kati did with her kids!  These are a nice DIY idea to create some fun summer memories for the whole family. {PIN IT!}

 

I was also blown away by these Stars and Stripes Corn Hole Boards from Alayna’s Creations!  I know just about every outdoor gathering we go to has at least one set of corn hole boards, and it’s one of my husband’s favorite activities….and he’s actually quite good at it!  I love the patriotic-but-not-too-in-your-face stars and stripes theme as well as the staining technique that was used here….they’re perfect for summer! {PIN IT!}
