My “Baby” turned three last week. How does this whole growing up thing happen so fast? I feel like just yesterday she was happily snuggled into my elbow! Now she has pigtails and says things like, “Mom, I was thinkin…”Sigh. Since she and my husband practically share a birthday (one day apart) we decided to…
Halloween is coming quick! This year, thanks to Costco, both of my kiddos picked out plain ole mass produced costumes “Mommymommymommymommy I haaaaaaave to be a pirate princess! SHE HAS A SWORD!” I’m feeling part relieved that I don’t have to whip up a costume based on a crazy whim, “Mommymommymommymommy, I haaaaaave to be…
Decorating for the seasons and / or holidays is not one of my strengths. Okay, let me rephrase that. Cleaning up the decorations that I have put up for the seasons and / or holidays is not one of my strengths. I have definitely had Christmas decorations up until February on more than one occasion.…
Last week, Junk in the Trunk posted a question on our Facebook wall. “What gets you through the 3:00 blues?” The most common response had something to do with coffee. My go to used to be a coke zero, but I’m trying to be, like, healthy and stuff, so I had to change that up.…

I definitely have handmade and cozy touches…
Last week I promised a fun and unique way to display your kids’ crazy artwork, so here it is! Since we paint a lot around here, we have a stack of paintings to the moon (and back, said Big Nutbrown Hare). I’m always looking for a way to display our masterpieces besides hanging them on…
If you were to walk into my living room, you would not find a treasure trove of vintage goodies. In fact, my living room is much more IKEA than Vintage Market. But I do have one item that would qualify as “market worthy.” I affectionately call it the Faerie Tree. I made this project in…
Lunchtime around here can be, well, chaotic. We “do school” for most of the morning, so sometimes getting lunch on the table on time is challenging. By noon, the Little Bee’s brain is sort of fried, the Baby Bee is desperate for some Mama time, and Mama is just happy if I am wearing deodorant.…
Well today I am going to share with you this great recipe that I recently found on Pinterest of course. I honestly thought it was quite brilliant when I found it and was very excited to try it. And of course my kids LOVED it! They thought Ice Cream for Breakfast was AMAZING! So are…
