I’m not very adventurous in my spice usage. That’s probably because most of my spices came in a spice rack that was a wedding gift… almost 8 years ago. Apparently the shelf life for spices is anywhere from 1 – 3 years. So yes, it’s time to clean out the cabinet! Yesterday in Country Living […]

This sweet little ballerina “skirtall” arrived in the mail today from my friend Jen. It is a birthday present for my 2 year old. Words can not describe how adorable she was when she put it on and twirled around. (Of course she had to strip down immediately to get it on.) I asked if […]

He still has his window ringed with construction paper M’s and D’s from Mother’s Day. Since yesterday was the Autumnal Equinox, […]

Our non-see through toy box is a black hole. To find and play with the toys inside, we have to create a bedroom-size disaster zone by emptying the entire box. What a great idea this see through toy box is. See a toy, grab it, and play! I like the idea of one reviewer who […]

Earlier this week, I took my Faber-Castell soft pastels off a high shelf where they’d been collecting dust for quite a while. I’m pretty sure I received them as a gift many years ago (thank you Auntie Lorrie Beth!), but I had sort of forgotten about them. I was inspired to give these to the […]
