For the new baby in the family:
…only about a month late. It’s a little halter top and pants set in a sweet faux-vintage floral & polka dot. This is a size 6M, but I think it will grow with her…. especially the pants!
If you’re interested in purchasing this set, or something similar, please let me [...]

One of the many treats we’re having for the Easter holiday this year is birds’ nests– these are so fun & easy to make with the kidlets, and I think they look great.
Basically, you just melt chocolate chips in the microwave, then stir in a package of chow mein noodles until they are totally coated. Then, [...]

Every now & then (ok, maybe a little more often than that), my brain tunes out, and when I come back to reality, I find some “interesting” things have happened. For instance, what do you think would happen if, say, a window salesman should come to the door and Max is left to his own [...]

I learned this week the benefits to having a birthday fall on a Monday- you get to celebrate all weekend. On Saturday, my mom offered to babysit so that Bill & I could go out for a date. True, we spent the early part of the evening in a Comic Book store, after which we [...]

Here’s a new shirt that will (hopefully) be listed sold in my Etsy shop later today:
I like it for spring- there’s a lot of different colors in the letter, so you could pair it with a variety of different colored bottoms….
Oh, and much, much thanks to everyone who’s placed orders over the past week or so- I’ve [...]
