Remember when I told you about how HungryMan was flinging our friend, Johnny through the water like Indiana’s bull whip. I witnessed this harrowing event through the lens of our video camera. The jetski-dragging-tubing-fool footage has been hiding out our computer for weeks due to the very poor camera work (me). What can I say? [...]

Ava was elated and started packing all the essentials in a fist-sized clutch. She crammed in beaded necklaces, [...]

paper flowers for flower fairies

Back in June when I had four small girls fluttering about my home, I realized that I also had four pairs of fairy wings. I will leave it to your imagination as to how a home of one girl acquired four pairs of glittery, sparkling, bejeweled wings. With the perfect ratio of girls to wings, [...]
