Easter Day Fair and Square

We’ve had beautiful weather here, so Easter was perfect.  The kids colored eggs, got giant filled baskets, had an Easter egg hunt, and a grandparent visit. A good day for them. Last year I came up with a color coded Easter egg hunt and continued it this year at their request. These two are obsessed […]

tweet, tweet

Sooooo,  I was thinking I might “shop for” customers. Ya know if there was something you were looking for but haven’t been able to find it or didn’t have the time to dig around in flea markets?  You could drop me an email and let me know. Give me a price you’d like to pay […]

Lucas at 13 months

You cute little guy. You seem to grow before my eyes now. Each time I look at you I just can’t believe how big you are.  You are shining more and more each week. You’ve got spunk and preferences and silliness and sweetness all wrapped up in your yummy little self. You often come over […]

starry nights and days

I finally finished the star pillows set. They are well loved by all the children.  The biggest one turned out ginormous! It’s like a monster starfish. Now pillows are great for laying on, but the boys mostly carry them and throw them around. That big one is bigger than Lucas, but he sure tries to […]

I decided I’d pretend like I knew how to paint yesterday.  It didn’t turn out too bad. I may try another next week.  Spring is here for sure now. There is pollen covering every surface. Ryan came home last night and said, “What, do we now live in Pollenesia?” We just finished up watching Downton […]

Some Bunny, Any Bunny

Happy first day of Spring! We woke up to so much fog.  All the blossoms look so dreamlike against the heavy, cloudy air. I decided in honor of spring tonight is “Bring Some Bunny To Dinner, Any Bunny Will Do.” That’s right. Everyone must bring some kind of rabbit- a stuffed one, a picture of […]

good luck with all that

So Saint Patrick’s Day is upon us. We haven’t really done much before for this little holiday, but I’m thinking this year we should. We need some silly festivities.  Luckily, 0ur neighborhood is on the end of the route of a really large St. Patrick’s Day Parade so we’ve got that going for us.   I’ve […]

Cricket boxes

Hey look it’s our winter table. I thought I’d shoot it because I’m starting to feel springy and it will be changing out soon.  Does anyone else do this?  I set up seasonal books and such on a table in our “library” room.  Sometimes it’s a play scape, sometimes activities, sometimes just books.  I enjoy […]
