While I was pregnant with my first child, I decided to head to our local Babies R’Us (RIP) to start working on my registry. I was on bed rest (don’t worry I hobbled my way to a wheel chair), this was one of my first outings in weeks, and I was so excited to […]
The other day I was going through an old box that got relocated to my garage from my parent’s attic and I found buried treasure! Okay, not actual buried treasure (because then I’d be in the Bahamas right now), but I did find a ton of my old favorite VHS movies. It got me […]
When I found out my family planned on meeting in Hawaii for my son’s first Christmas, I was beyond excited. I was a single mom at the time and I could think of far worse ways to spend my time than listening to waves crash on a not too distant shore. Plus, I couldn’t […]
Well it’s been a fun and eventful week in our household. Our son hit a milestone! No he isn’t sitting on his own yet, and no he’s not a 6 month old prodigy that can already walk, talk , and recite the entire works of Shakespeare by heart ( they all seem about […]

For our second spring break playroom art project I decided we should do a handprint project which could involve the whole family! My one regret is that I didn’t buy a bigger canvas because I think it would have looked even better oversized. I know what you are thinking? Handprint projects = MESSY! […]
Our playroom reboot happened to coincide with my oldest’s spring break, which means my five year old was home and BORED.
