Fourth Birthday Carnival

Sunday we had Nora's fourth birthday party.  Since she is all about the clowns on our street, we decided to have a carnival theme for her party.  I had a ton of fun putting together all of the decorations for her party, from our carnival[...]

High Tea

I'll admit, I went a little bit crazy planning this party right down to the tiniest detail. But, oh did I have fun.  So, so much fun. High tea was the perfect excuse for me to (finally) sew something for myself and to wear one of those dres[...]

One Week Count Down

In one week, Nora will be two.  I know I always say, "I can't believe...," well I really can't.  Although, she does seem to be very much a two year old already with a strong independent streak, a chatterbox mouth, and the most adorable littleÂ[...]

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. 😂
