Updated

Ever since we moved into this house four years ago, whenever I go into the living room, I get the feeling that we just recently bought it. Everything seemed very sparse and icy. So this weekend, I decided that enough was enough and threw the family into a redecorating frenzy. We had about six spots [...]

Painting

Today we had some time to kill in between Vacation Bible School and yoga for kids, so, I decided to be “cool mom” and let Button finger paint. I don’t know why I ever expect finger paint to stay on fingers. However, doesn’t this look like so much more fun? Leave it to an (almost) [...]

Tiki

A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing around the dollar store, letting Button pick out Father’s Day presents (this is the best idea ever. For Christmas, she got him an “It’s a Girl!” balloon!) and I came across packages of paper drink umbrellas. I remembered this idea that I had seen over at Family [...]

The premise is that two brothers, I THINK they’re brothers… use “animal powers” to save the day, all while giving an incredibly in depth lesson of the animal at hand. The animal of the day, [...]

Sun

Yesterday it was warm enough that the snow finally melted. We spent most of the day out at my in laws house in the country. Button and I went on a nice long bike ride and it was fantastic to be in the outdoors. Sometimes I forget about how much I love bike riding and [...]

Snow

We have been inundated with snow here on the East coast since Christmas night. I would love to say that it’s beautiful and lovely, etc, etc, but I can’t. I simply hate it! There’s nothing to do and we can’t really leave the house. Button enjoyed playing outside the first couple of days, but now [...]
