First of all, I have to show the handmade favors that I worked so hard on. Well, they weren’t difficult, just time consuming.
Bubbles, banana shaped sugar cookie, bean bag
Ok, so I didn’t make the bubble solution, but it is made in the USA – not China. The sugar cookie [...]
So after Sprout’s birthday, there were a couple of days that were overcast. He wasn’t able to realize what a magical gift he had received in his little crystal. Finally, on the 20th, we woke up to a bright sun peeking through the windows. Sprout’s room faces the east, so I couldn’t wait to go [...]
Sprout blowing out his birthday candles….again.
Sprout had quite a busy day yesterday! He woke up with lots of hugs and kisses and ‘happy birthdays,’ too. Then we hosted our local crunchy playgroup and had 12 mamas and 18 babies/children – oh my! It was quite the turnout. Afterwards, Sprout played outside [...]
When I have said my evening prayer,
And my clothes are folded on the chair,
And mother switches off the light,
I’ll still be 1 year old tonight.
But from the very break of day,
Before the children rise and play,
Before the darkness turns to gold,
Tomorrow, I’ll be 2 years old.
2 kisses when I [...]
Today was a great birthday eve for Sprout. We got up this morning and went to the park and played with a ton of friends. Then we had lunch with Alma, Kate, & Calvin. Then we went over and played at their house for a while. The children played peacefully and I retaught Alma how [...]
Aidan stealing my heart.
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s day! It was quite a busy day in our home. We washed windows, worked outside, and are generally getting the house ready for Sprout’s 2nd birthday. Our rhythm was thrown off by the late [...]
Aidan’s art – Feb 11, 2009
I usually call him Sprout on this blog, but plenty of photos have his name in the filenames – plus, I like the alliteration. I always help Aidan stack his toys back into place on his windowsill before he goes to bed. I was pleasantly [...]
This is the scene in my home lately. Ollie loves to be worn and I love to craft. Here we are in harmony while he sleeps.
I feel like I have so much to do and so little time to do it. Sprout’s birthday is next Tuesday and we’re hosting playgroup to celebrate. [...]
Yesterday we were invited to a Valentine’s day cookie decorating party thrown by one of my BFFs. It was a gorgeous day here in Houston, though a little windy out at her home. We took the boys outside to play and set up a child sized table for them to do their decorating. It was [...]
There’s something about making sugar cookies that makes me feel nostalgic. I can remember many holidays when my mom would pull up a chair to the counter so that I could help her make sugar cookies. We had one of those hand crank type sifters, like this. She would pour the flour in and I [...]
