Thrifty Finds Friday

   So I found a few pillow cases, this red blanket and that pink stuff on the bottom left has little cothing on it and it is nice flannel. I don't know what I''m gonna do with it. There is a definate Holly Hobbie meets Strawberry Shortcake vibe going on here.     Then I am so […]

Be of good cheer anyway

So I got this shirt late last fall. I thought it was christmas-y. I thought I'd wear it under a hoodie or something. It was had a bit of sparkle, a tree, a nice message.  I wore it a few times and then one day I saw myself in the mirror and said "OOOH CHEER" […]

Food sort

When you get bored playing the same thing over and over again you just gotta get a little more creative. Keely decided we would not be "eating" the food, but instead we were gonna sort them by color! It looked pretty when we were done and now she is ready for kindergarden. Ha! I don't […]
