Monday Motivation #2 | The Magic of a Busy Box

The Art of Home: A Podcast for Homemakers

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

In today's Monday Motivation, I'm sharing my summer memories of creating from my grandmother's scrap box and how I carried that practice into my own home when my children were growing up. Whether to fill time on a rainy afternoon, keep little hands busy during travel or in waiting rooms, a Busy Box for your kids or grandkids will certainly spark creativity. Just remember, it's not really about the end result, it's the process and the memory you are making of being creative together.

I'm also answering a listener question from The AoH Mail Bag about creating family and personal mission plans.
