I get an email every morning from the Brave Girls Club. Click HERE to sign up to get yours. It’s quite eery how they often (and I mean almost every day) completely relate to exactly what I need to hear (or read). This one yesterday was so chilling awesome I wanted to share it with you. Dear Precious Girl,
I started the day reading this great post “I’m a Good Mother, You’re a Good Mother” that is going around on FB. It’s now got me thinking even more about this motherhood thing and why it is such a friendly competition. I was even talking to Nutmeg tonight and some future blog posts are now
Tis the season for holiday films. And, just like my thoughts on seasonal books, I like to watch my movies in season as well. I’m linking up my Top 10 Favorite Holiday Movies (in no particular order) on Oh Amanda’s Top Ten Tuesday. And no, I’m not including links. If you need more info on
I needed a sweet treat for our swim lesson instructors this holiday season. This session has definitely been interesting with Charlotte moving up to the 3-year old class early since she thinks she’s a fish and with the battle continuing between Stella and Water-in-Face.

I am a sucker. For a deal. That I usually find at Target. I remember back in the day when I didn’t particularly care for Target. But now? SUCKER. It doesn’t help that it’s the most convenient place for errands during my lunch hour. SUCKER. I have tried to limit my exposure lately because I
I saw a picture of this project idea online somewhere (probably Pinterest!) and I loved it. So I got us our own supplies: Canvas, check. Green paint, check. Yellow paint, check. Brown paint, check. Foam brushes to paint the little hands, check. 3 little hands, check. Stella was the bottom two layers. Then a layer
Have you ever wanted to host a Holiday Cookie Exchange, but didn’t know where to start? I just had one over the weekend which was attended by 20 women and it seemed to go pretty well. Here are my Top 10 Tips for making your Holiday Cookie Exchange a success. Timing is everything. Get your
Yes, I’m still up to my eyeballs in ribbon. Still crafting whenever I can. After the fall craft show I didn’t touch it for a few weeks. But then I got some special requests here and there. A customized order to match a dress. A hair bow holder needed for a purple bedroom. And I
Today Andy and I took Stella to see the Children’s Theatre Holiday Follies at the Taft. It was really good. Having not been before, we were unsure how Charlotte would do. And at $20/person, we didn’t want to take the risk since a 30-minute cartoon won’t hold her interest more than the opening song. But
