Celebrating crafts, kids and the everyday through photographs.
Earlier this year Bj’s parents “cashed in” their photo shoot with Tuesday. Well at the end of last month my mom and step dad did the same thing. We met up outside our beautiful capital in the lovely little grounds that were littered with fluffy pink blossoms. It was brighter than I had anticipated, but …

My neighbor and I took our little ones to the tulip festival today. I had to go after seeing the wonderful pictures on Alicia’s blog. I told my mom I was going and she said, “the last time you went you came back with a stick!” I was like, “what?” Yes, she’s right though. The …
My friend Tracy was lucky enough to stay in a beach cottage all this last week and had a few extra rooms. She wondered if our little family would like them to keep her and her little cutie company while her husband had to return to work. Needless to say we jumped at that! Bj …

We made it! Tuesday did awesome, her seventh flight, what a traveler!
