It has been a long road for Evan and for me too. My reluctant little guy has resisted any attempts to potty train for the last year. His stint in the hospital left him with some PTSD and a major don’t mess me with attitude (thus the hippie hair do, he won’t let us touch […]

I made a great find today! For some time I’ve been looking for some old architectural elements that I can use as photo props. There is an architectural salvage in Portland and every time we drive by it I beg my husband to stop, to no avail, I think he knows better. But I found […]

We had a beautiful day here in Oregon, but I … I mean the bunny… hid the eggs inside b/c its been so cold and foggy in the AM and the eggs get all wet and nasty.
Kyle (just turned 6) is questioning all the mythology. I finally just said in answer to like the […]

Amy has learned to ride a bike on two wheels! When Kyle learned we went out front to ride bikes one day and he said “mommy take off the training wheels!” I went and fiddled around in the garage to find some tools that would work, took the training wheels off. We have a nice […]

We are way behind on our blog. Little Evan gave us a good scare by developing pnemonia. It started out as, we think, the flu. He is prone to the croupy cough and he woke up crouping one morning and we knew he was sick. But he kept getting sicker, spiking high fevers I couldn’t […]

I can’t keep these in stock. Dura-Bib really is the best bib ever, if you don’t believe me order ONE and try it, you’ll be back for more. I found 4 was the right number to rotate through the wash and keep one in the diaper bag, etc… It snaps at the neck so baby […]

I would have been shocked about it, but Kyle lost his first tooth when he was 4 too. Amy will be 5 at the end of march. Right around Christmas I was helping Amy brush her teeth and noticed that the bottom two teeth were wiggling, one of them quite a bit. And she got […]

In honor of Amy Winehouse….
They tried to make me get a hair cut but
I said no, no, no.
Yes I’ve been blind, but what I can find
You wont know, know, know.

I ain’t got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
He’s tried to make me get a hair cut
I wont go, go, go.

I’d rather be […]

Amy got her ears piereced today. It was a spur of the moment type thing. Joann Fabrics is next to Claire’s and I went to Joanns to buy buttons and serger cones. Amy has been asking about having her ears pierced for awhile. A customer came by the other day with her 15 month old […]

I answered my own question in the previous post… do they even make actual “big wheels” anymore. Apparently they do!
Big Wheels

And best yet they are made in America… you could buy this for your child and hopefully it doesn’t have toxic plastic! AK!
Love the big wheel, may need to buy a couple this xmas. The […]
