Hi Readers! Time to get into the blogosphere once more. What’s UP? Leah is 1 1/2 years old. Her clever yet sweet pea nature is fun to watch – not so fun to clean-up after. She loves to read her picture books and says words like, “bubble, baby, ball”. I, ahem, will be coming up [...]

We ate cookies everyday, for over a week. A sparkly new sign, made it into my Christmas decor. (Hand painted by my fellow Shabby Mama, Andrea.) The felt “board” was laid out with our Velcro Nativity set. My sil, Carly, gave all the sils a meaningful Christmas ornament. It means a lot to me, as [...]
