Just stopping in to say hello to you all, so "hello!" Here's what we've been up to… We had a nice little family dinner together on the solstice. We ate in the dining room by candlelight and had Keely's wooden animals running about the table and in-between the pinecones. It was a quiet and slightly […]

a little holiday break
Groovy or freaky? The jury is still out. Keely HAD to get this rope reindeer while we were thrifting. It was a whopping .75, so no big deal. Alright, how about these guys? I love these two. I'm calling them elves, although I don't know how accurate that is. They've been named Gunther and Gunhilde. […]
side-tracked
So, I'm feeling a bit stressed and I thought,"Hey let's drop everything and go for a quick thrifting trip!" Great thinking, no? Yesterday, Keely did this too. I was vacuuming, doing laundry and baking when she said, "We need to go to the park." We dropped everything and went for almost 2 hours. Anywho, thrifting […]
A very red post~
"Mommy will you try to use a quiet voice please? I am pe-tending to sleep here." Absolutely my little love! And there's how I spent my weekend-wrapping,wrapping, & wrapping. I always have color themed wrapping. I am a dork that way. This year is obviously red & white. I ran out of good sized boxes, […]
a warm, fuzzy thank you to you and you and you and…
Today, instead of my planned post (consider yourself lucky), I must make it a thank you post. Good golly have I gotten some mail goodies lately. Let us have a look-see, shall we? A few weeks ago, I received some thank you homemade soap from Lera along with a charming little ornament. Then, a fabric […]
Aretha
Heidi-ho there all. Just so you know~I've named all of our wreaths, Aretha (Aretha Franklin if it fits). This is really funny to me. You'd expect to see a photo of a wreath here right? wrong. I've got no time for my beloved camera baby. sniffle. I have so much to say but no time […]
wishful thinking ~
I got nothing done this weekend, or last week either for that matter. Nothing. I was sort of in a stand still mode for several reasons. And how you ladies with more than one child ever get anything done I'll never know. I'm going to make this a quiet blog week in hopes of working […]
Favorite toys
O.k. As I've said before most of Keely's toys are from thrift stores. We don't generally buy things with batteries or flashing lights. No thank you. A lot of her toys are rotated so she becomes interested in them again when we drag them out. We have most of the toys that Katurah listed the […]
Decked and good things.
Twinkling lights at night are so nice. The house is cleaned up-some things are crammed back in the attic, other things were dropped off as donations. The tree is decorated (shoved in a corner, but still decorated), as is the rest of the house. The husband and I are in a running for "weirdest person […]
Weekend with the Humbugs
funny? I tried the christmas card photo shoot again this weekend. I got no cooperation. She just pulled the santa hat down over her eyes or turned her back to me. Nice. I gave up for and then she wanted to wear her "Rapunzel" hat to play in outside. I seized that opportunity and […]
