Meet Bean. The Rockstar. Sporting jeans, a tutu, and cowboy boots, and rocking the glittered hair, tattooed arm and pierced nose, she was quite the sight to see, riding along on her preschool “Little Rockstars” parade float. She rocked! And I was one proud mama. Speaking of piercings and pride, miss Bean got her little earlobes pierced on Saturday. … Read More
When in Saginaw…
Why not try your hand at milking a fabric cow? Or sit on a giant tongue inside a massive set of teeth. Or simply serve up some plastic ice-cream! Saginaw may be one of the most dangerous cities in the Unites States, but I do believe we’ve found a sweet spot {in the shape of a Children’s Museum}. Now that’s… Read More
It’s {almost} Boot Season
And it would appear that I am not the only one in this house who is excited to don them…
Fun School Printables
We’re headed into our fourth week of school for our little lass and I must admit, apart from getting to spend precious time alone with my sweet Bug, one of my favorite parts of her being in preschool is getting to pack her lunch. I love it! Because I’m easy to please like that. And because I love punching cheese… Read More
Guess What Today Was…?
And she was as ready as can be. Happy dance ready! And loved every minute of it.
Happy Birthday, {Big Boy} Bug!
I was examining the fine, downy swirls of peach fuzz on your neck and arms the other day when it hit me. One day this stuff is going to be courser. And darker. And most likely, spread across your face in some sort of suave goatee fashion. And I’m not quite sure how I feel about all this. I now… Read More
The {Rainbow} Cake
We celebrated our little loves this weekend. Bean turned 4 a couple of weeks ago, and Bug turns 2 in a couple of weeks. We’re still cheap they’re still young enough to combine birthday parties. It was delightful! And the cake. Oh! the cake. My big sister is a cake-bakin’-makin’-decoratin’ guru. So being the brilliant mama that I am…naturally I… Read More
And the Grand Conclusion is: We Like Camping!
We actually really do! Are you as surprised as I was? Because I sure was caught off guard by this revelation. It sort of snuck up on me. Granted, we cheated a little by enjoying most all of our meals with precious friends at a nearby cabin, which eliminated the tedious task of planning, packing and preparing meals, tent-side. Maybe… Read More

She Needs A Sister
I assumed I was just training him to be a good husband. Sure he’s not speaking in full sentences yet, but some things just needn’t wait. Like chivalry. And household chores. He will, without fail, follow me into the laundry room, flip over a basket and climb on top so he can help load the washing machine with me. He… Read More
