Phew, I pulled it off, barely! Nothing like starting a few days before Halloween! Bj cut cardboard for the sleigh, and we got high gloss red house paint to paint it. We ended up having to zip tie the sides on. It was nice for our little elf to ride in when she got tired/cold. …

Celebrating Five
Last year Tuesday had a car themed party. And she told me then what the next few parties were going to be, she had it all planned out. I did not expect her to remember or still want the train themed party that was next in the line up twelve months ago because it has …
At Five
Oh sweet, sweet Tuesday, my five year old! How quickly it happens, as they all say. And I’ve loved every minute! I celebrated her trips around the sun with pictures from five wonderful years, and had all this set up so she would see it when she woke up. She was not as surprised as …
Christmas crafty
Oh dear, my last post was a bit of downer… and I put my blog address on our holiday cards this year so I really must update! We still have been sorely lacking in the sleep department. But our super secret room re-do for the girls (from a Tuesday only bed on the floor room …
Halloween
Oh these silly girls. And silly mama; I just can’t help myself sometimes. Halloween is one of those times! I decided at the last minute (10 o’clock the night before) that Bennet needed a coat to complete her gnome costume (and make it a bit different from my god daughter’s, since I was recycling most …
Celebrating One!
Oh sweet sweet Bennet! This was Bennet on her birthday, the best shot I could get (and you can tell I did a hack job to Photoshop out flip flops on the floor!). Since she doesn’t know when her birthday is we decided to do a low key dessert only party a few days later …
Car Party for a four year old (not “Cars”)
So Tuesday wanted a car party. A car party? Well she originally said she wanted her friends to bring over their tricycles and bikes, but I explained that would be hard to do in the winter. So we settled on smaller modes of transport, little cars! I didn’t really plan much until the week before …

Life in Color – The Shower
My friends and I have an agreement that every baby gets a baby shower, which is awesome since I love showers of any kind. Double awesome that I was the lucky recipient of this shower and TRIPLE AWESOME that Sciarrino hosted the most amazing shower ever. I mean, of course she did right? The one …
Be mine
Tuesday, Bj and I got out the glitter baby! We assisted our glue loving daughter in her Valentine’s making. It was pretty dang cute. (side note; so glad I stocked up on eight cent bottles of glitter glue this summer!). She had us write cute things inside. One of them, “star, I love you.” to …
Disneyland… The scariest place on earth
Oh my goodness me. Well Disneyland was nothing like the easy, fun, relaxed vacation we had last year. Oh no. I think it was a whole combination of things, but mostly she’s just changed and now Disneyland seems huge, overwhelming and full of many dark, loud, scary things. Last year the colors, lights and people …
