Just as soon as we clean out the kiddos’ cubbies at school, it’s time to start thinking about summer camp, and getting our kids’ names on every water bottle and article of clothing they own! I love the iron-on labels and vinyl waterproof labels from Cherry Hill Designs. Angie, the mom behind Cherry Hill, says [...]

I’ve always had a thing against No Soliciting signs. I consider myself to be a friendly person, and these signs always make me think of grumpy people who turn off their lights and don’t give out candy on Halloween.

We’re having a Mother’s Day Tea in my son’s preschool class on Thursday. I signed up to bring “two small platters of fancy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches”.
