In Case of Emergency

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mom to Mom.  Have you read the news lately? Animals fleeing Yellowstone due to a potential volcano eruption! It caught my attention, especially since we could be in the secondary ash zone. That, plus my affinity for dystopia and end of the world novels […]

Introducing … Heart of Gold Princess

Today is the last day to enter the Little Hip Squeaks giveaway! As long as I can remember, my mama has been a sew-er. Not really a seamstress, but a brilliant gal who can follow a pattern and is always ready to give something a try. Over the years she has made baby bedding for […]

Loving /// experiencing Christmas time with a 3 year old. It’s freakin’ magical! Everyday she talks about baking a cake for Jesus’ birthday, coloring pictures to leave for Santa and picking out a gift for Max.

Max’s Corner

Rainy Day Adventures with RoseArt Magic Fun Dough

Rainy season has begun in the Pacific Northwest. Thus, park play dates are few and far between. Even when we do go I have to take a spare towel or two to dry off the slide and swings! Because of the rain, us Northwest mamas have transitioned to what we know best – rainy day […]

Loved

It’s been a lovely little break from blog land! I definitely need to do this more often. Unplugging is a great feeling, very peaceful and calm … even if I did stumble along the way and Instagram a few pics and catch up on Call the Midwife.  During my week off I took the chance […]
