The sun is shining! We haven’t seen the sun for days….many days. It reminded us all of “The Long Winter”. That winter that lasted for months and the Ingalls family had no food or light or heat. Thankfully we had frozen pizza and the Wii. Otherwise it would have been almost exactly the same. Isn’t…

Call me crazy, but I’m still tweaking my bedroom decor. I moved a few things around. I moved a shelf from the nursery into the bedroom and put it next to the love seat. The baby doesn’t need that shelf, right? I mean, what’s he gonna do with it anyway? But it needed something….some little…
My beautiful, picturesque bedroom….like a magazine. For five minutes. Five minutes after I took this picture: I walked back in and found this: There are pirates in my bedroom.

Strolling down the aaaaa–vuhhh–NU. ♫ All day every day I have a two year old with me. He goes where I go. He sits by me during school time; he plays at my feet while I’m sewing; he brings me plastic food when I’m hungry. Today, as I was photographing some new items for my…
