Does this ever happen to you? Boy, it happens to me all the time. I am sure that my grandmother would think it silly. I should be outside or reading a book, she may say. But I guess times are changing. Reading a book is done on your iPad mini and sitting outside is done […]

Lost thoughts
There are days I have so many things I think about to tell you all. I grab my iPhone and jot it down. Fast forward 4 hours. Bed time has come and gone and I am sitting in my bed ready to write. But not ready. Instead I decide tomorrow I’ll write. That’s been the […]
Words
Sometimes I don’t have words to express my thoughts. As funny as that sounds. It’s usually at these times that I see something in passing that helps me describe what I am thinking and feeling. (And some make me laugh…like the one at a church in our small town…. “Whoever is praying for snow, Please […]
It takes a village…
When I think of a village…I always think of these wonderful characters-Aunt Olivia and Aunt Hetty from Road to Avonlea. They raised their niece as their own after their brother died. But there were also many more people in the mix. I’ll spare […]
Easter, Day 3..and 4
With the girls back today, I thought we’d do a few crafts. I had everything planned out. And it lasted a whole 10 minutes! 10 Minutes! A very big surprise. But the Mister is home for a few days, so he is a major distraction to my crafting rituals with the girls. Here’s what we […]

Easter with Preschoolers & Toddlers
Last night I realized it was Easter *next* Sunday ! Yeah….not really prepared. Well, I can’t really say that. I had bought plastic Easter eggs thinking that I’d be able to find something to do with […]
Thrifting
I really don’t like the idea of most thrift stores. I have gone into a few and really they have never seemed like what you see on home design shows. However, that’s probably because I wasn’t actually there with the host of the show and therefore, I on my end am probably experiencing the […]
Painting!
My girls love to paint. I think it’s the independence they get. Hummm…wonder who they get that quality from? I know a lot of parents don’t ever let their children paint at home. Ever. Not outside. No watercolors (pretty easy clean up). And definitely no liquid paint! I was always so disappointed by this as […]
Nursery Reveal…Part 2!
In case you missed it, visit Nursery Reveal…Part 1 . OK! Here it is! Baby M finally has a baby boy nursery….with all pink eliminated. Not that he would know 🙂 What do you think? The story behind the theme of his room is that the first night he was born I couldn’t sleep. The little hat […]
