It’s June…must be time for sparkly pink shoes

It’s June…must be time for sparkly pink shoes

March?!  How could my last post have been in March?  It’s June, 3 months have flown by and I haven’t had a moment to spare since March…  yoikes.   So, here we are, the first week of June – Mark is leaving for shoots in Dublin and Madrid for the first half of the month, [...]

Wheels and stuff

Wheels and stuff

Each week we pick a theme that we reinforce with the art projects, “field trips”, cooking and play we do with the girls. This week is transportation. I asked the girls to go through their toy boxes and bring me toys that help us get where we we want to go.

Bring on the Veggies!

Bring on the Veggies!

I’m not sure if it’s the cold weather, the fast approaching holiday seasons or just the fact that we’ve been eating waayyyyy to many carbs this past few weeks, but I found myself walking through the produce shop and filling my cart to the top with such an assortment of vegetables that the check out [...]
