Oh the sun is starting to make regular appearances around here and it is so lovely. The rain has made everything very green (even if the gloom has also made it very late to leaf and flower). I’m so glad we did this nice neighbor fence on this side. Tuesday loves to chat with Tracy …

cut it out, gift it up
Our favorite twins turned two this week and we celebrated in style. I wanted to do something fun for their presents and decided to go with matching (well coordinating) tee shirts. Carmen’s husband came up with the idea to flip flop the colors for each twin and they came out great. The cow thing isn’t …
naptime
me: Tuesday: *I found a project sort of like the one shown here on Pinterest. I finally took the plunge and went over there. It’s awesome, like visual bookmarking (way better than my totally unorganized bookmarks). I am in the process of moving all my starred things on google reader over to it. I was …
tip toeing
Last week Donna and I decided we could handle three kids at the tulip festival (this is where Donna interjects that it was my idea). We actually did pretty well. We went to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival, the one we hit up every year for wonderful color during this horribly grey time of year …

Joining in on Amanda’s this moment project. A moment from the last week. A slice of life.
What I’ve been beading… and a give away!

Second baby bumps deserve some love too
When Carmen and I were pregnant the first time it was all we talked about. Baby this, baby that. I don’t think it’s just because I’m not pregnant that we don’t talk baby all the time. It’s our two little girls that have us chatting most of the time. When I first picked her up …
And us now
Oh my what fun Carmen and I had. When you plan a girls weekend just to do girls things I think it’s pretty hard not to have a fabulous time. We beaded, and chatted, made tee-shirts and chatted, shopped and chatted, and ate and chatted. Among other things. The photo above was taken at Word …
The secret’s out!
Carmen (who lives in Alaska) is on a plane on her way to see me for the sole purpose of a girl’s weekend! Her husband arranged everything as a surprise so I’m going to take the rest of the week off to celebrate girl time. photo circa 1996 – Carmen and Amber trying to be …
