So my darling four-and-a-half-year old did it. She cut her own hair. About one month ago. When her best friend was over. Side bangs, anyone? That’s what she gave herself. Claims there was gum in her hair. Which is odd. Since chewing gum is expressly forbidden in my home. I think it’s disgusting. But there [...]

The girls and I are in Vancouver now. We drove up over the weekend to join my husband who is here for six long weeks. It was a beautiful drive, through much of Utah, into Idaho and then finally on into Washington state, one of my absolute favorite places. Even though I’ve only been there [...]

Love these ballet flats on little girls. If you like them, too, place your order quickly. These cuties fly out of Mini Boden’s warehouse like you would not believe…

First off, a giant thank you! to Dancer for leaving a comment with a link to Angry Chicken and her moving box puppet theatre. Seriously awesome! I can’t wait to attempt my own version with Pea and Coco. Thanks for the link!
I’m taking Pea to see The Nutcracker in SLC in a few weeks with [...]

Are you all as sick as we are? It hit us like a ton of bricks. In the face. There are two kids remaining in Pea’s class. 11 are out with flu-like symptoms, as is one of the two teachers. We’re calling it crazy-croup-flu-strept because we don’t know what else to call it. But now [...]

Not that I’ve had a lot of time lately to play around on my computer, but there were a few late night’s over the past week, spent checking out the links of sites that I love. I found some good ones!
My Mama Made It is my newest addiction, and it’s such a new blog that [...]

I received an email from Matilda, the designer of Rocker Baby, that she has opened up her own on-line shop. You can find it at Rocker Baby, Inc. All of those adorable dresses are available, as well as some new halters and pillows and blankets. I’m very excited to see that they’ve decided to branch [...]

Here are some of the blogs and sites that I’m currently enjoying; projects that I’m planning on attacking with gusto; items that have made it onto my official Wish List:
Into knitting or crocheting? Get on Ravelry! You have to register, and then it takes about two days to receive your log-in account information, but it [...]

Tomorrow morning is the baby shower that I’m hosting for my friend, who’s baby girl is due in one month. And this has been a crazy few weeks, so when I say that I really did wait until the last minute to get the details together, I’m not kidding. I did. I spent three hours [...]

I never really did get the nesting bug towards the end of either of my pregnancies. I wonder if it’s because I’m always kind of nesting? Working on projects, houses, cooking? So I didn’t feel the need? Perhaps.
But now? Nesting. Big-time. No, huge time…
Some things I’m working on…
My second knitting lesson. My first was a [...]

I once had an overly affectionate love affair with Target. Back when we lived in Fort Worth. I was there weekly. Twice weekly. My husband seems to think that there were times when I was actually there daily. But I can defend that one – there was a Starbucks in it!
But since moving to Utah, [...]

Okay, there are just some days that, more so than others, have me feeling like I am a complete and total mess. A walking disaster of epic proportions. This is one of those days. Because I can’t find my camera. And I am seriously bummed. It’s gone. Vanished. All I can muster up is the [...]

During dark times, I like to remind myself of the bright times that are just around the corner. I’ve worked very hard at becoming a glass half-full kind of a girl. I subscribe to the notion of “build it and they will come.” As in “live like it is it, and then… it becomes it.” [...]

The sun here is bright. So bright. I realized that today, as I was driving around in my eyeglasses. Which I have to wear because I’m 2) blind as a bat, and 2) suffering from pink eye, which 3) precludes me from wearing my contact lenses. Which stinks, because 1) the sun here is blinding [...]

Clogs are the most comfortable shoes that I own. Perhaps not the best-looking shoe, but there’s just something to be said for comfort. And luckily, these days, the selection is getting better and better.
Pea’s first pair of clogs were little leopard ones by Hanna Anderson. Of course, I had to have the matching mommy pair. [...]
