Halloween’s a’comin and the tricks have already started around here. And by tricks I mean the sort where you sit at your desk for four agonizing hours trying to figure out how to improve the layout of your blog, I do not recommend this for anyone even half as technically challenged as yours truly, and…

The Queen Speaks
Want to know what one of my favorite things is? Well, YES cake is one of them, but…. Look at that stack! Ain’t it purty? So many things to love about that great stack! I mean, have you read The Curious Garden and sat in awe at the inspiring illustrations? How about Sam & Dave…
Look At Those Nails!
Ya’ll know what’s more fun than licking the icing beater? Well nothing really, but for an almost 4 yr. old this is close! Jamberry Nails! The new nail wrap, nail art craze! Seriously, just pull those babies out of the cute little package, find your hairdryer (I’m too cheap for the proper heater), and kindergarten…
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Road Trips are surprising, funny and….Oh No You Didn’t!
What’s In Your Van?
Maggots! Are you grossed out just by that word? Well…how about if I told you there were maggots…IN…MY…VAN! You’re already judging me aren’t you? Do you have 4 kids? Have you ever tried to keep tabs on 4 kids and what they are bringing into your car at all times? Some things will always escape…

Homemade Gifts Part 3 (Oatmeal canister = toy storage)

Homemade Gifts Part 2 (Felt/Fabric dolls)
These dolls, I’m hoping, will help keep Nora’s attention on the soccer field, in the car on long trips and even at church! Because they are only fabric & felt they should make for…dare I say it…QUIET play! The dolls have a velcro circle sewn on as do the dresses, that way Nora can change…
Homemade Gifts Part 1- Retro stick girls!
I started this project because I wanted to make something homemade for Nora for Christmas. It was inexpensive, easy and fun…I do believe she’ll have fun playing with these and they make for an easy on-the-go toy as they have their own carrying case! All it takes to make them is popsicle sticks, markers/colored pencils,…
How Thanksgiving really came to be!
Ya’ll I had a conversation with my 6 year old (Henry) last night that made me realize I’ve had this whole Pilgrim & Thanksgiving thing all wrong! According to this 6 yr. old 1st grader the story goes something like this….and he must be right because he watched a video about it in school……. Well,…
