Mini Coloring Pack

Because we're on a tight budget, we don't have a lot of extra money for birthday gifts for all of Nora's little friends.  When we got invited to Miss. B's birthday party, I was wracking my brain deciding what to do until I decided to spend a co[...]

Catching Flies With Vinegar

Whoever said, "It's easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar," must have never heard of apple cider vinegar.Inevitably, this time of year, fruit flies take over my kitchen.  My normally bug free home becomes a casualty of canning and bring[...]

Under the Sea

We are jumping for joy (as in actually leaving the ground, both feet at the same time, and landing without falling over!) with excitement over Nora's new "big girl" bedroom.  As a reminder, this is what Nora's room looked like when we firs[...]

Nora’s Vintage-Inspired, Upcycled Play Kitchen

About 10 seconds after I knew I had a little girl, I knew she was eventually going to have a play kitchen.  It's one of those things on the list of "things I didn't have but always wanted" (a really cool play house is, too).  This past winter[...]

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
