I have a love/hate relationship with invitations.  I want to send guests beautiful, thoughtful invitations via US Mail that set the tone for the party, but I also hate forking out hundreds of dollars for something that will likely be tossed in the trash.  And while I’m happy to splurge on something like Christmas cards […]

It’s happening– this week my baby girl turns the big 2!  I can’t believe it’s almost here.  I feel like I was just pregnant and I blinked and now she’s a teenager.  Ok, not quite, but still.  How did this happen so quickly? Over the weekend we hosted a party for our family, friends, and […]

I doubt my daughter is the only child with a fascination with washing her hands.  She loves to turn on the faucet, hold her hands under the soap until I squirt some on, then rub her hands together under the running water.  So, when I spotted this sweet little stool at a thrift store for […]

[…]

Every child needs a rocking horse, in my opinion.  I mean, come on.  How can one gallop away from arrows being shot in their direction, or trot toward prince charming, or even ride off into the sunset without one?  My Ruby needed a trusty steed for her playroom, and I found this sad looking fellow […]

Hello everyone!  I can’t believe another weekend has passed.  I need it to be longer!  We launched into our kitchen remodel and the room is a disaster.  Hopefully we can make the most of our evenings this week (and hopefully Jon’s work load won’t be too crazy) and we can plow through the painting. I’ve […]
