So I spent the last five days chasing these munchkins around. They are as cute as ever, but busier, for sure. Five and almost two. Impromptu coloring! I had him color every inch of this life sized poster. Check it out here. That about sums up my week. Well that plus diapers, whole milk, swim …

Cute kids cure anything
It’s true, when you pick up two cute little kiddos from daycare, and one of them is still sleepy and lays her cute little head on your shoulder everything just feels better. Plus it’s just plain fun to run around like you’re five. A little dark, but I can’t find any software on this PC …
The Optimist
Even though I might be going slightly crazy:Yeah, 2,812.40 dollars later. You do realize I only had one side done right? Now I really want to roll the side yard flat and put gravel and flowers and trees in planters there, but it will have to wait. Even Franklin looks pissed. I told the fence …
Shit hits the fan
I wish I could say I have better news, but unfortunately that is NOT the case. Yesterday when I was down in the basement obsessing over all the cracks in the floor I noticed that one of the beams under the stairs had newer looking termite damage. I called my mom down to look at …
Do you want the bad news first?
Or the good news? Well I’ll give you the good news. I went to a few garage sales this weekend and had a really great find. Something I actually need (!) and have been looking for (!!)I’m using a thrifted letter tray as a temporary dish dryer, do you love how they spelled coming wrong? …
It’s Magic!

Swap Wrap Up
My lovely swap buddy was Emily. She sent me all these goodies, and two other things that I snatched up right away to take to my new place: funky napkins and a pretty bar of soap. I think my favorite thing of all is that vintage hip frame, I’ve never seen those before, so cool. …
Accidental Thrifting
I swear I wasn’t setting out for this, but when a trip to Goodwill yields no jars, and the overwhelming fear that Bill’s doomsday predictions of me not being able to find any more is coming true, I must buy other things to compensate!And isn’t this a strange base for a globe? Strange but AWESOME!
Side Splitting
I don’t think there is much in the world that feels as good as a great side splitting laugh. One of those soda pop out your nose, get the hiccups, snorting laughs. The uncontrolable ones that you couldn’t stop if you wanted to. Well every once and a while I laugh like that when I …
Question
Does any one own a button maker? Like a really nice one? Anyone want to lead me in any kind of direction here. Is this the kind of thing that is okay to get off eBay? I was thinking something like this, or this set off eBay. And why are these so expensive? Anyone? edited …
