Congrats to my parents who braved Chick-Fil-A today. It was a zoo. There was a mommy group there, an after-production preschool party and then there were all the regular miscellaneous people and their kids. I have to commend my kids, too.

I just had to post a picture of these bookends I made for Maria. Aren’t they adorable? They were so easy – and inexpensive – to make with Uppercase Living expressions, glass blocks and ribbon. The hardest part was the bow-tying. (I’m horrible at bows.) Or, on second thought, the hardest part might have been [...]

The color red is associated with a lot of wonderful things… love, for instance. The sky during an exceptional sunset. It is also the only color I happen to be able to see at the moment. Please, please, don’t EVER come to my house and ring my doorbell between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. EVER. [...]

Yesterday, my dear friend, Troy (remember – this is a girl, people) had a hair appointment, so I had her three boys over for a playdate. They had a blast! I mean, there were the normal ups and downs of sibling and friend play. There were a few claimed “injuries,” and some tattletaling (mostly by [...]
