Spring’s almost here, right? I love these paper poms;hinking they would be great dangling from a ceiling in a girl’s room. Hope I  made you smile!:-)

My four old has suddenly become obsessed with practicing his letters. He brings his notebook […]

Penguin Awareness Day

  I just learned over at Barista Kids that it’s Penguin Awareness Day. Penguins are so damn cute; one of my twin girls absolutely loves her stuffed penguin. It’s taller than her so it’s so cute to see her try to walk around with it. Are you or your child  a penquin lover? If so; I […]

Christmas Ornaments

I don’t celebrate Christmas; so  to me Christmas Trees are all about beauty, creativity and all-nighters! Truth be told I have probably decorated more trees than any of my Christian friends.
