Keely you are my sidekick. My funny, creative, energetic, trying, spirited, willful, determined, sweet, artistic, imaginative baby girl. Yet, sometimes you act as if you were a teenager. Slow down love, you are only five I tell you. You want to wear make up and go places all alone. “Can’t I just go and take […]

“valentime’s” cupcakes
Cupcakes were finally made, iced, and sprinkled…and they were quickly sampled… Goopy red painted handprints were stamped… Baths were then had and someone decided it was probably time for another cupcake. She's actually licking her lips here. *I think I'd better steer away from reds and pinks for awhile. This whole blog is going all […]
glitterfool and scones
Heart-y photo of the day So we made some potato stamps and I gave the gal some paint and stamps. She liked it well enough… But then came the glitter. I mean, "OH YAY Mommy! Glit-TERRRR! Sparkly, red, shiny, glitter, glitter!!!" Everything thing I gave her or asked her was followed by an anxious/excited "and […]
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 […]
Rice, Rice, Baby…(and other weird toys)
I thought I'd share a few things I've gotten together around here for Keely.Perhaps it will help out one of you who needs a new activity for your little one. Up first is colored rice. I thought she could use some more hands-on, tactile, sense filling activities and this is a good one. Lots of […]
Hemming and tape bracelets!
I hemmed my first pair of pants. This is huge. Oh, don't you so what? me! You don't know how hard it is for me to find a pair of pants that fit me nicely and that I like. If I do find a nice fit, they are almost always a foot too long. I'm […]
Beach picnic.
Went to the post office. fun. Then took Keely over to her "castle" beach park for a little while. We walked down to the beach (not our normal beach spot) only after much coaxing. She only wants to play hide-and-seek in the castle. Over and over and over. Finally, I get slow-pokie-joe-frazer (We make up […]
sleepy blogworld
Well, hello out there. Where is everyone? *chirp* *chirp* *chirp* right then. If no one is interested in buying any of the "sheet" that's left at the store, I think I'm going to pack it all up and stuff it in the attic. I'm done with it now. I must reclaim our space. I'm […]
Tea & Towels
I got a few of these Bavarian teacups this week. They are very delicate and froofy. I'm attracted to these small pretty things, but in our home almost all of our dishes are solid white. Anyway, I looked these cups up online and they sell for $25….for one cup and saucer! That price is from […]
the evolving blog
Well, since you all are so nice and encouraging about the posting of the kiddie stuff, I am going to keep posting some of it-not every day mind you. I've mentioned to several people that the blog evolves. I started this blog with the intention of being all super crafty. That ain't going to happen. […]
