She’s back…and funnier than ever. (Ok, I’m biased.) On Friday I put a dress on for work.  You would have thought the girls only see me in sweats.  I guess slacks and a top are just too boring for them.  Here’s what Stella had to say.  I took notes in the bathroom to make sure

More Hair Bows

I haven’t completed very many hair bows lately.However, I did come across some super cute cowgirl boot ribbon awhile ago. And I just “found” it again tonight. A little late for Stella’s birthday.

Trader Joe’s Follow-Up: More Things I Love

If you remember back to my first post about Trader Joe’s, you will remember that I LOVE the eggplant cutlets.  And I even followed-up later that I still LOVED them after a few more meals.  So those are definitely a freezer staple now and also have been the reason I went back to Trader Joe’s

Haute Toddy…You Gotta Get One!

My iPad screen is always a mess.  And I have to say that the Toddy Smart Cloth is fabulous and well worth the cost (thank you co-worker).    You can get them online in an awesome variety of styles.  Me?  I picked mine up in a 3-pack at Target (same price), so I’ve got the one

Bunk Beds Are Ordered!

 Photo from Costco But wait!  That’s a photo of a dresser.  Why, yes it is.  A dresser that now lives in our girls’ room and is much adored by Charlotte.  While in Pottery Barn Kids, I hemmed and hawed over whether or not to get a dresser as well.  Their 7-drawer dresser was $1000 and

More Help Needed…Barbie Storage?

Here are the items you’ll find scattered all over my family room right now: (All photos from Amazon) We are now in Barbie overload.  I remember thinking that Barbies were for much older girls and couldn’t imagine my toddler ever having a Barbie.  But then the girls were introduced to all of the Barbie Fairy and Mermaid

Bunk Beds…Help Needed

  From Pottery Barn Kids  My little sister and I shared a room for a LONG time while growing up.  And we had bunk beds.  White wooden bunk beds.  I remember sitting on the top bunk “fishing”.  I’d throw down a “rope” and my sister would tie one of our toys to it.
