I wouldn’t say I have too many ‘perks’ in my line of work. At the mail store yesterday, though, I. sure thought so. We’re regulars there and the owner saw how fascinated I. was with the copiers, so showed him how they worked by letting him make a copy of his hand. Well, that made his day.
And I got his bday present today, a whole herd, gaggle, you pick of these gorgeous schleich animals. Shhh…..
I have a new frame and canvas ready and waiting…love that feeling. I was hoping to get a few new things up in the shop today, but I have a sick kiddo home, so we’ll see….
My youngest brought home this drawing from school today. I commented on what a nice heart he had drawn and was quickly corrected. “No, it’s the little bunny from Totoro.” Hmmm, a good likeness….
(by the way, a beautiful movie!)
Happy birthday big brother!
We are heading south next month for a week of beach life, can’t wait. I saw this picture the other day and love everthing about it, not the least of which is that amazing vintage swim cap.

So I have been hunting around and saw this, pretty darn cute! Could I pull it off? Would I actually wear it? probably not, but hey it you never know!
It would atleast be good for a fun picture, right? And this image immediately came to mind, great album. Think I will go take a listen…
I think spring is finally here! Our lilacs are making their appearance.
This awesome piece of nostalgia was recently unearthed during a junk drawer cleaning. It is, however, far from junk. J, I’m not just saying that, look I went and framed it and everything! Yes, it is indeed a mix tape. From the time before one could easily burn a cd. J made it for me back in the day, awww.
We’re gearing up for another bday around here, I is turning the big 5! He announced he wanted a space party…well I love planning. In some ways the planning, the plotting, is my favorite part. You get to do the invites, (and my very favorite) the party favors! I’m like this with vacations, too. I love the planning, the research, the shopping for, that goes into a vacation. The actual trip is just the bonus at the end!
Sometimes it is just the simple things (thank goodness!) that make me smile…
real cream in my coffee…
warm piggy’s…
happy weekend!
This weekend I decided to fill the wall above the kids’ craft table with their artwork. A little less ambitious than my original plan of framing small portrions of about 50 or so of their pieces, but I wasn’t quite that motivated. Hey, atleast now I feel a little less guilty about the mass unorganized piles of their art.
We brought out this charming little 2bdrm house for the kids today. It was my moms and has been in safe keeping ’til now. It needs a little tlc but look at those details! My mom got it for Christmas when she was a child and I just think it’s so sweet. The door mat has her name and there’s lovely wallpaper and curtains inside.
That was me then
and now…
I saw this over at swissmiss the other day. It is just too fun.

I see a weekend of soccer games, yard work and sun in my forecast! Also, I will be making some exciting additions to my website. Stay tuned…happy weekend!
one year older. The kids brought me breakfast in bed (carrot sticks and crackers with peanut butter). No big plans, but maybe this weekend we will head out for something sweet. These are looking pretty good…

yuummmm……
I saw this the other day browsing through the Babyology website. Wow, not your average playhouse! I made the mistake, amist my enthusiasm, to show to the kids. They now believe we are going to be constructing this in our yard this summer….
