ABOUT US
Hello! Welcome to Sparkles and Sprinkles! We are a homeschooling family with 4 daughters who love to bake and craft together. If we let them, they might just skip every other school subject and bake and craft all day!
We create fun craft tutorials and share our favorite healthy recipes (that are also gluten-free and super yummy!) in a visual format, so that children can learn to bake.
Our goal at sprinklesandsparkles.blog is to share the joy we have in baking and crafting with you! Enjoy!
