Summer Nesting
Remember when you are miserable pregnant in the 3rd trimester yet you have this unrelenting urge to clean and organize and there is no avoiding it? If I didn’t know better I would say that I’m about to give birth…
Art is Good for the Soul.
The little girl had a rough week. Sometimes, as a mom, you just have to break the cycle of bad with a little good. I knew she was in need of some TLC. She LOVES (huge understatement) art, so we…
Mother’s Day Fail
For the life of me, I can never figure out why Mother’s Day is BEFORE Father’s Day. I think this is true of most men (fathers), but they forget stuff like this. If Father’s Day was first then we could…

♪ Let’s Go Fly A Kite ♪
I don’t remember ever flying a kite as a kid. That’s not to say that I didn’t but, if so, I don’t remember it. Over the weekend, The Little Girl flew a kite for the first time and so did…
My Little Fashionista
In the last few weeks my 4-year-old has become VERY opinionated about clothes. This was a hard pill for me to swallow since I have been choosing her clothes day in and day out for so long. Let’s not forget…
