That’s right–Easter decorating week is nearly over! Back to our regularly scheduled tween room redo (with maybe some gardening action thrown in!) after this. I’ve seen a ton of silhouette art around lately (it occurs to me that most of my posts could be Pinterest Challenge posts, really), so I decided to throw some into the Easter decorating mix here. This … Continue reading
I continue to decorate for Easter. Those who saw this picture (or a similar one) on Instagram: ….will observe after this post that I’m getting pretty close to the bottom of my giant pile of Easter decorating stuff. Today we deal with eggs, the natural follow up to bunnies, of course. See that funny white candle holder thing? I picked … Continue reading
Taking a break from Easter decorating while some paint dries to bring you the latest addition to Abe’s gallery wall. Remember how I said that Milo was the only brother who hadn’t contributed anything to it? We made quick work of remedying that situation.

Okay, not really. A REAL free spirit would live in her van and not do ANY chores EVER. But maybe, say, you might have been a free spirit in a different life, but in this one you have four kids, three dogs, two cats, and two and a half baths in your big house, so you HAVE to clean stuff, … Continue reading
Maybe I will do this every weekend! Or I might not. I like to keep everyone guessing that way. But, anyway, here’s a list of stuff I’m particularly fond of this week: 1. Babylegs babylegs Babylegs are baby (and toddler) leg warmers. I had a pair for Gus, but not until he was a bit older. I put a pair … Continue reading
This is my 100th post, so I tried to think of something really amazing to post about. Instead, I have a collection of small, random things for you. I did my best.
