First of all, I've spent a good chunk of the day playing with Photoshop and creating the invitations for Alex's upcoming birthday party. I'm making a mental list of supplies and decorations and such....which I should probably turn into an actual hard-copy list as I am so terribly forgetful these days. I love so much to plan parties for the kids. I think it's definitely in the top 3 things I love about being a mom! We are all looking very forward to his 6th birthday party! Another … [Read more...]
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
Weather.com says it will be 84 this afternoon! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, squirrels are playing...it's gorgeous! It's spring! I just opened up all the windows and it's so refreshing! We have a huge family of doves that live in our back yard and they are just chatting it up...what a lovely sound! I hope all of you are having such lovely days! Alex's spring break officially started today, so he just left for a weekend with the in-laws. I miss him, but I know he'll have a … [Read more...]

What do you think? … [Read more...]

Man, this morning was a rough one! Alex's kindergarten class was supposed to dress 'cowboy' today. No big deal, right? Oh yes. Big deal here at our house because my son cannot STAND the idea of dressing western. Loathes the idea. Why, I don't know, but he does. I set out his clothes this morning and when he spotted his pearl-snap cowboy shirt on the bed, he instantly started whining. It wasn't like I laid out boots, spurs, Wranglers and a hat. Or even a bandana. Just a simple … [Read more...]
I played in my ribbon box again today
Oh, the fun to be had in a box of ribbon! I came up with a few more hair clip sets for your viewing and ordering pleasure. I have to say that half the fun is naming them...I get to be as corny as I want to be and nobody can stop me! Watch me go! I call this set 'Lots o' Spots'. Mainly because, well....it has lots of spots. I love spots and I love these colors! And these just almost became 'Citrus Schmitrus', but then I decided that nobody else would get a giggle out of that like I … [Read more...]
