Every year, the 2nd grade students at out elementary school put on a production called “Goin’ Buggy.” This was our 4th time participating, and Reese played the part of a very adorable bee. After spending an entire morning making the girls’ costumes in the school hallway, I decided to crochet Reese a matching bee hat….
Heart and Soul
Normally, when the kids pluck at the piano, I can’t wait for them to stop. Only KitKat has taken piano lessons. Necco is my violinist and guitar player. Reese has recently showed some very promising piano skills. She has my Grandma’s ear for music and can pick out a song on the piano despite the…
Family Movie Night Returns
My son once asked me if TVs were invented when I was a kid. Yes, son, in fact TVs have been around much longer than Mom. I actually watched quite a bit of TV when I was growing up (a fact that my kids have a hard time accepting, since we currently don’t have TV…
More Than Just a Label
My friend, Caitlin, who helped me get to BlogHer last year with Mabel’s Labels, just shared this inspiring video with me, and I thought I’d share. I dare you to watch this video and NOT feel connected with one or all of these women. I love that these are all women that Caitlin knows and…

Apparently this video has been around for a while, but since I don’t have TV, I didn’t see it til tonight. I thought you guys might enjoy a little family-friendly Sunday humor. Oh, and this totally reminded me of AJ. Love it! What are you doing with your family this weekend?
Foods to Fight the Cold and Flu
My kids headed back to school yesterday….all except one. Reese was home sick (and will be again today) with a cough, stuffy nose, and fever. Unfortunately, from here on out (at least until Spring is in full force) I will no longer be able to make plans outside the house. Inevitably, during the Winter, if…
The Best Christmas Craft Project Ever!
My kids and I traditionally decorate our Christmas tree together each December. This year, however, we took decorating the Christmas tree to a whole new level and created something that we will hopefully be keeping around as a Christmas decoration for years to come. We were sent a recycled cardboard Christmas tree from Cascades Boutique…
