I’m sure it is completely unsurprising that my girls love Fancy Nancy. Actually if you can show me a little girl between the ages of two and eight that *doesn’t* adore Nancy I will be far more shocked. While this book has had a steady slot in our bedtime story circuit for a while, it’s…

As I’ve mentioned before, this year’s cold and flu season really took a toll on both Aimée and my families. I felt especially bad for little Modette while she had her cold — such a big cough for such a little body. Since there are really no safe over-the-counter cough medicines for children under two,…

I’ve been dying to share our family photos on the blog for weeks now. I posted my inspiration board and some tips on how to dress for the best family pic back when I was planning out our shoot. I was actually planning to share our family photos on the blog the first week of…

First I wanted to share this incredible piece of art that my Grandfather picked up for me. It was really the inspiration…

I’ve been dying to share my oldest daughter’s birthday party since, um, January {blush!} Crazy how time flies. I guess it’s better late than never though, right?! In my defense, at first I was waiting to share all the lovely details from this party because it was to be featured over at Hostess with the…

While at SNAP last week, we attended a flower arranging workshop presented by our friend Brittany from One Charming Party. I can count on one hand the number of flower arrangements that I’ve done, and Aimée had zero experience. To be sure this was both of our first attempts at a “real” arrangement that involved…

Our contribution for this month’s Raising Arizona Kids magazine is a tutorial on how to recycle old tees into fun and colorful accessories. With Earth Day this month as well as Spring Cleaning (time to go through those closets!) — this activity couldn’t be more timely. Reuse outgrown or even stained T-shirts to create colorful…
