Today, I’ve got a story to share. It’ll most surely tickle your funny bone and warm your heart. π❤️
You see, my granddaughter and I recently embarked on a DIY adventure of epic proportions in building a bird house together. π ️π¦
Now you may ask why? Well, let me tell you, it seemed like the perfect option for some quality me-time with my creative little sidekick. π€✨
My granddaughter and I are both cut from the same cloth with our love for crafting and creating, so I figured tackling a fun project like this would be right up our alley. π¨π©π§
With her reaching an age where plain kids toys aren't as captivating anymore, I aimed to spark her creativity with something hands-on and engaging. π¨π§©
Plus, with her boundless love for all things furry, feathery, and everything in between, I knew that watching birds flock to our homemade abode would be nothing short of magical for her. ππ¦✨
Armed with a bird house kit and a lot of enthusiasm, we dove headfirst into the world of avian architecture. ππ
Ok, and let me tell you, it was a journey filled with laughter, mishaps, and more than a few surprises along the way. ππ ️π
Now grab a cup of tea, settle in, and join me as I recount the tale of our building escapade, which I embarked upon after receiving this charming bird house from Presently Goods in exchange for my honest opinion. π☕✨

My opinion on the Bird House Architectural Kit
This week, my granddaughter and I embarked on a wild adventure together with the Bird house and Feeder kit from Brix + Stix. Armed with pre-cut wood, acrylic pieces, paint, and bird seeds, we dove headfirst into the world of DIY architectural wonders. π π¨π¦
Let's talk about the kit itself - it's like a treasure trove of bird-friendly goodness! The instructions were clear, but who needs those when you have the combined wisdom of a grandma and her granddaughter? π΅π§π‘
My granddaughter, with her colorful soul, decided that the four paint colors provided simply weren't enough. Oh no, she wanted to unleash her inner Picasso and mix them all up for a real rainbow extravaganza. ππ¨✨
Now there we were, stirring and splattering paint like a pair of mad scientists, and let me tell you, that birdhouse has never looked so funky. π¨π©π¬π©π¬
But wait, it gets better. As we were getting ready to make a feast fit for our feathered friends, we hit a snag: no peanut butter for the feeder. Cue the panic! π±π¬
Still, fear not, dear reader, for in the face of adversity, we improvised. Out came the butter, melted to perfection, and voila! Instant seed glue. Who needs peanut butter when you've got grandma's ingenuity, am I right? ππ΅✨
In the end, our bird house may have been a little... unconventional, but hey, the birds don't discriminate, right? π¦π π

And let me tell you, seeing the joy on my granddaughter's face as she proudly finished her masterpiece was worth every messy moment. ππ¨π§
Now, on the flip side, let's talk about the not-so-glamorous bits of our bird house-building escapade. Clicking those parts together? Let's just say it's not a walk in the park. π ️π
Then again, who needs easy when you've got quality bonding time with your grandkid? Wrestling with stubborn bird house pieces is just another chance for some good ol' fashioned teamwork. Besides, a little challenge never hurt anyone... well, maybe just our patience. π€πͺπ
Ok, and then there's the feline fiasco. Picture this: knee-deep in birdseed and paint, having the time of our lives, when suddenly disaster strikes. π±π±
Our crafty cat gets in on the action and snags the string from the box. Next thing we know, he's playing tug-of-war with the dang thing like it's his new favorite toy. π±π£π²
Let me tell you, that string didn't stand a chance. But in a stroke of luck (or perhaps sheer panic), we intervened before things got too hairy. ππ«✋
With some quick thinking and a little-bit of cat hunting, we could retrieve the string from our furry friend's clutches before he turned it into an impromptu snack. Crisis averted, but let's just say we'll be keeping a closer eye on the craft supplies from now on. πΎππ
Sure, our building adventure may have had its fair share of hiccups, but isn't that what makes it all the more memorable? π ️ππ
From wrestling with stubborn parts to saving our mischievous cat from himself, it's all just part of the grand (and occasionally chaotic) journey of crafting with kids. And let me tell you, it's a journey I wouldn't trade for the world. ππ§π±
Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day
