Our little tapper/ballerina performed in her third recital yesterday. Each time she becomes more confident & more graceful. As I was spraying up stray hairs, resecurring bobby pins and retouching lip liner & sparkly gloss, she kept saying, “C’mon, I need to go backstage!” {sorry for the teeny tiny picture…I snagged it off Facebook [thanks, [...]
When I saw this recipe, I knew it was going to come alive in my kitchen soon. We make Puppy Chow every Christmas. However, this offers the perfect tangy twist for springtime. It really is like eating a lemon bar, without all the fuss. Pick up some festive Easter or Spring cellophane bags, fill ‘em [...]

This morning we took a trip to a local nature preserve and Jay shot some pics. Holden displays his “big muscles”: Sweet nature girl: My favorite of the day: Sibling silliness: Swinging: It isn’t Spring without spotting a ladybug: Me with my pre boot camp muffin top: Holden’s war wound: Because you always wear cheetah [...]
5 more days ’til Spring. Happy Monday… Hope your week is off to a flourishing start!
SPRING, I was perusing through The Oprah Magazine this weekend and came across her fashion must-haves for this rapidly approaching season. Normally I am not searching for the latest trends…if I see something and I like it (and I can afford it), I pick it up. I hate to say, though, that I am one [...]
Spring! In just 12 days… How yummy is this vintage note card? How I love, love, love these nostalgic little numbers! It’s called “Egg Shell Races”~ so sweet. {From “Pooch & Sweetheart”}
