It’s on rainy days like today, that I wish I had a little more creativity in me…that I could come up with something more inspirational than baking oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and reading a book about mountain goats to my 3 year old. When I am stumped for ideas, I head on over to Disney Family to glean wisdom on everything from how to prepare meals for my picky toddler to five  minute bathroom clean-up tips.

Two weeks ago, the second season of The Possibility Shop debuted on Disney Family.  This original web series was produced by The Jim Henson Company and features the creative work of Courtney Watkins, who also hosts the show.  I had an opportunity to sit in while they filmed an episode on gifts for dads.  When I walked into the building, I was immediately struck by the set, which was inspired by Courtney’s great-grandfather’s general store. Each 3 (ish) minute webisode will focus on “finding whimsy in the every day, as well as fun, out-of-the-box ideas for celebrating holidays, the change of seasons, and more.”

Courtney Watkins is warm, likable and inspiring.  Despite the fact that her ideas are brilliant, I could see myself actually completing them because they’re doable.  Courtney engages directly with moms, prompting them to discover their own “how to, can do” attitude. It’s amazing what you can do with glue, cardboard, and popsicle sticks!  For creative projects, activities, and games, just visit The Possibility Shop.
