February snow

Last week I was convinced spring is coming, the weather was so nice, then yesterday it started to snow, a lot.  I made it to the store last night to pick up some essentials and today school is cancelled.  We're taking it slow today, with lots of hot cocoa drinking, cartoon watching, coloring, we may even do a little bit of baking later.

bountiful Easter

Easter egg hunts are over and sugar high has begun. Despite of the chilly/rainy weekend the kids managed to go to three egg hunts since last weekend and have been munching on treats. Sunday was pouring rain so we stayed in...on a good note my taxes are done! Now I can concentrate on the more important things... estate sale this Thursday; must. find. babysitter. now.

Speaking of treats, what a treat to find my items featured on The Storque this weekend. Thanks so much to TeenAngster and Christine for including my candle holders and magazine rack. You guys are awesome! Thank you!

just another "spring is here" post

We've been having an unusually nice weather here lately; bright, sunny and warm since the last weekend, even too warm for spring. I got so excited about the weather yesterday that I abandoned my big plastic tote full of stuff to photograph and set out to clean the deck and washed the kids outdoor toys. When they got home from school they were thrilled to see their old toys and demanded to eat their dinner out on the deck.

I also gathered their sandals, flip flops and summer clothes for the season.

Washed and put away the heavy blankets and pulled out the cotton sheets.

Stopped at Walmart to get some essentials and picked up a bag of bird seeds so we can make this tomorrow.

It's amazing what a person can accomplish in 3 hours without kids at their beck and call.

oh, Spring please stay here for good?!

today

So my husband recently suggested that Fridays will be kid’s day. It’s hubby’s day off and for me it means no thrifting, photographing, obsessing about Etsy or anything online related for that matter; the whole day will be focused on the kids only (because you know I just don’t get enough of them).

So today the first half will be spent crafting, learning, singing, dancing, and the second half will be spent swimming at the nearby Community Center pool and later in the evening pizza dinner at Chuckie Cheese. Fun! (and I mean that in the most lovingly motherly way).

Happy Friday!

lonesome icicle

I just wanted to share this photo I snapped as I was getting out of my driveway this morning. My hubby left a hose trinkling overnight and it formed an icicle as the droplets of water came down. It made my day, despite of it being a chilly Monday morning.
