Every year I swear that I am not going to buy the pre-made character cards from the drugstore for my kids to exchange at school, and every year I realize that the school party is the next day and that my plans for home crafted valentines are way too elaborate, or I haven’t shopped for [...]

I woke to the sight of my 6 year old grinning and holding a big cup of coffee, which was dripping all over my all white goose down comforter, and I knew this was shaping up to be the best Mother’s Day I had ever had. The kids have been bursting with excitement for days now; [...] I stayed up way too late the three nights before Easter, making these for the kids. They weren’t as big of a hit as I had hoped (it’s hard to compete with sugar first thing in the morning), but who are we kidding, I was making them for me anyway. I am hopeful though, because [...] I hope that you all are having a wonderful Holiday Season. We celebrated Christmas at our house. I have been sitting here, listening to the silence and stillness that comes to the house after everyone is in bed, and looking back through all the pictures that I took in the days leading up to Christmas [...] (pssst. let’s just drop the daily countdown, shall we?

These days I feel more like a milking maid than a dancing lady, but nine is a good place to start. At least I think I can talk about Christmas for nine days. Let’s see, I [...] I hope you are having a beautiful day. I am not to be denied my once yearly pleasure of dusting off my iron and melting wax paper. This is one of those projects that I fell in love with when I did it as a kindergartener, and now that I have kids, I have to do it every year. So a couple [...] I had every intention of doing a Fall craft with leaves last week. One of my favorite things to do every year, is to collect colorful fallen leaves, press them, and then iron and seal them between two sheets of wax paper. We usually make placemats with the finished work to be used for Thanksgiving [...] |
