Yesterday was our Annual Halloween Bash and what a sugary fun time we had! We had lots of Noah and Penny's little friends there, lots of good food and lots of very cute costumes! I love hosting parties and the Halloween one we do every year is a clear favorite...I just love to see all the little ones dressed up and each year they wear their costumes for longer periods of … [Read more...]
Why?
Why?...Why?...Why?....this is a word that we have been hearing a lot of lately in our house. Noah seems to be at the stage where that inevitable 'Why?' is being asked after everything we say. He wants, or should I say NEEDS, to know WHY, WHY, WHY?!?!?!? Get your shoes on...Why? Brush your teeth...Why? Don't hit your sister...Why? Put your toys away...Why? Stop … [Read more...]

Leaf, Leafs…No? Ah yes…Leaves!
Hooray! Our neighbors will be so excited...me and my babes went out this afternoon to attempt to bag some of the massive amounts of leaves that have so sweetly decided to fall all over our yard. Un-hooray, since we ended up not bagging a single little one of those crunchy little suckers...Hooray! again, because we had a crazy good time raking massive piles of leaves and … [Read more...]
A Healthy Dose of Fall
We had a spectacular fall weekend these last few days...the weather was perfect, the skies were blue and the sun was out! We took the littles out to Tom's Farm Market a pumpkin patch and kiddie playland extravaganza on Friday afternoon. We like to come here every fall and stock up on their super delicious baked goods. Noah and Penny loved all the fun stuff they have … [Read more...]
Fabric Flower Tutorial
So, another option I thought about for one of those t-shirts I bought on clearance was to decorate it with fabric flowers. Fabric flowers are soooo easy to make, they literally take minutes to do! It's a super fast project that will transform a boring t-shirt, tank top or sweater into something with personality. You can use any type of fabric or color that appeals to … [Read more...]
Ruffly T-Shirt Tutorial
The other day I found some clearanced heather grey t-shirts in the sleepwear section of Target. Not a huge fan of heather grey (it reminds me of jogging pants with elastic at the ankles...sooo not flattering on anyone!) but knowing that I can't pass up a bargain, I snatched them up...two for around $5 a piece...Sweet Deal! I brought them home and had been debating what … [Read more...]
And the Oscar Goes to…
...ME!!! Yay! I'm so excited!!! Ahhhh, but it's not really an Oscar...yet! I just received my first blog award, what an honor! An almost unschooling mom at Almost Unschoolers gave me this recently: Isn't she lovely!?! If only I could put her on my mantle! Wow! I am just thrilled to pieces to get my first blog award, the fact that anyone even reads my little bloggity … [Read more...]

Halloween Decor-ating
Sooooo, I have been meaning to post some pics of my Halloween/Fall decorations that we put out on our front porch...or stoop...or walk...or, geez I don't know, whatever you call the area by your front door. Anyhoo, so you all know we bought some pumpkins a couple of weekends ago, right!? Back when the weather was semi-nice not freeeezing like it is now...do I sound like … [Read more...]
A Weekend in Pictures
Here are some pictures from our weekend! It's freezing here in Illinois and I'm starting to think that we aren't going to have a nice warm fall after all *tears* Our little Penny doesn't even have a winter coat yet so she was bundled up in a ridiculous amount of layers or her brothers too small hand-me-downs to get through the cold (we are expecting a big box from … [Read more...]
The Aftermath
What is that saying, a picture is worth a thousand words...well, here is the aftermath from yesterday's rice krispie fiasco: All I can say are two words...SHOP VAC! My hubby bought one to clean up after all his projects around the house earlier this year and boy, I am soooo glad he did. But in all honestly, the littles had a blast playing with the rice krispies, … [Read more...]
