A while ago my Mom gave me some old toys out of “my” closet – you know the one that is in her house that is part of the room I grew up in until I was 18… yeah that closet. The box she gave me while threatening to toss it included my little kitchen…
Matching Umbrella
The rain has stopped but the puddles in the driveway call her name. She loves to jump and splash in them, just as any little girl should. She learned her technique from her older brothers. After I put on her “rain coat” she dashes out of the house to see her playground of water and…
I simply could not resist its charms
On my way to take photographs of my friend’s sweet baby girl on Saturday morning I happened to notice that a local antique shop was having a tent sale outside. I desperately wanted to pull swerve over RIGHT then and take a gander at what they had to offer and see what I could find…

So this week’s been a little different
Sometimes things don’t always go as planned. Especially when kids and erratic weather are involved. And that’s okay. Monday, Gav had a Trike-a-thon at school and even though he kept telling me he had a tummy ache before school, he still wanted to go. He kept saying the night before, “The trike-a-thon is tomorrow, awesome…
I made her a skirt…
During K’s last real crib nap on Saturday (yeah, the big girl bed and big girl naps do NOT go hand-in-hand so far…) I mustered up the courage to use my sewing machine again. MONTHS ago I pinned an easy skirt idea and bought the supplies and everything. But I had a few problems with my…
Cheerio, Old Chap!
I think I’ve watched a bit too many Downton Abbey episodes lately, what do y’all think? (I’m almost caught up, 2 more episodes to go… I hear that last one is a zinger…) The little kids had a pre-lunch appetizer of milk and Cheerios the other day and I grabbed my camera because they had…
A new bed for you and you and YOU! / MEM
We’ve been rearranging around here since Tim and I sprung for a king-sized bed and had it delivered a week ago. ZOMG, it’s friggin’ huge. And comfortable. And came with a remote or two. Thankfully our queen bed was able to go in the boys’ room and now one of them is sleeping on a…
This mother of three should really know by now that 2 year-olds don’t stand still, right?
Taking photos of kids is pretty hard. Especially when it is your own and especially when they are not too keen on listening to you and just want to do their own thing. BUT, you chose that moment in time to try to take their photo so you just snap away and do the best…
Behind door number one…
On the other side of that first door on the left there is a little girl, calling my name. She is waiting for me to rescue her and provide a snack and some neck kisses and sweet hugs. Not necessarily in that order. Her smile softens my heart on the daily and the sunshine in…
