We have been reading tales from the Grimm Brothers before bed. The girls chant, “Grimm Brothers, Grimm Brothers, Grimm Brothers!” every night so I don’t forget! Some of the stories are lame, some of them are really weird and some of them are a bit horrifying! But lots of them are great, and when we read The Queen Bee, […]
I loved the idea of this craft, and the girls and I also learned a good lesson. Follow directions carefully! We were lazy with what “snow” we put in the globe and it created a muggy hot mess in the end. We semi-followed the directions for the DYI: Photo Snowglobes over at Design Mom. We […]
Abby & I can’t decide which Valentines to give this year. These are our top choices: I’m Wild for You Valentines & Lollipop Valentine by Design Mom Stick ‘Em Valentine by Sherelle Christensen I Dig You Valentine by The Fry Family Friendship Bracelet Valentines & I’ve Had My Eye on You by dandee-designs Or I could print […]
Did you notice my header? It has Shae in it now! And finally, finally (I have wanted to do this for years) my blog is organized the way I would like. I have tabs on the side where you can quickly get to posts in different categories, and the navigation bar is now fixed. I […]

Three bloggers, Kelly from According to Kelly, Rachel from A Southern Fairytale and Cindy from Skip to My Lou host this Holiday Craft Along. They find guest bloggers to post ideas […]
I have received a lot of emails and Facebook messages asking me some of the same questions. I have been lazy with replying to emails. Plus, the fact that I read them on my phone and then forget about them doesn’t help. Sorry about that, but here are some answers for you! “Where did you […]
We are working hard…such hard work, I tell you. We sure have it rough trying to get through our Summer Fun List. So we recently had our “Art Group.” In the past, I have done these groups every month during the spring, summer and fall months but with the new baby, doing it one time […]
I made a Celebration/Birthday/Tea Party Wreath two years ago that we have used in 5 birthday parties and 5 fancy tea parties so far. It still is really nice but the girls wanted to make another one that is more BIG GIRL. I guess “big girl” means sequins, black and hot pink. Celebration Wreath Supplies: Wreath […]
My husband has been really sick…more like terribly ill. I have only seen him like this one other time when we were engaged. Poor guy. For over a week the girls and I have been trying to avoid the house so he can rest and we can stay away from sickies. One day we just […]
