What does a "paper craft blog for Families" look like?

Every Bright Spot Letter feels like a friendly note from your craft-loving neighbor.

Imagine opening your mailbox to find a handwritten recipe from a creative, kind-hearted neighbor — but instead of recipes, it’s filled with simple craft and activity ideas your whole family can enjoy.

Bright Spot Mailbox was created by Kristin, a mom of three who believes family craft time can be a meaningful pause in the middle of (often chaotic) everyday life with littles. (See FAQ for more)

"Bright Spot": Inspired by the Swedish tradition of Fika (fee-kah).

Fika: (n, v). an important daily pause to enjoy coffee with good company (15-30 min).

Bright Spots are family-friendly Fikas. It’s about protecting 15 to 30 minutes in your day—especially on the busiest days—to pause, unplug, and enjoy meaningful time together. We share crafts and activities that are short, simple, and enjoyable for the whole family, so you can truly enjoy time with your kids.

Less time planning; more time together.

Can't wait for you to join the fun!

We are SO excited for you to join us. We can't wait to hear about your bright spots and we are thrilled to be a part of your family's leisure time.
