 The Princess And The Pea Tent
I was asked to make a new tent for a very special birthday girl this year for a very fun theme, The Princess And The Pea I went to work straight away and three days later emerged from the sewing machine with this lovely tent. We love all of these colours and the kids were sad to see this tent go because they think it's the best one yet! =) Isn't it a wonderful feeling when your children are so proud of you? We took a few pictures and hope you enjoy seeing this newest …
But it's Still Bright Out!
It's hard going to bed in the Summertime! I remember never liking to go to bed when it was still bright out and the birds were still singing and there was even a baseball game going on in town! "But Mom... It's still bright out!" Well as our youngest are actually tucked into bed on time (which seems to be rare these days) this poem was actually a big help for them. They at least know they aren't alone and lots of kids have gone off to bed when it's still bright out and they …

D is for December & Decided -- on The Nutcracker that is...
We did it! We read through many Nutcracker story books and have come to a unanimous desicion on our top 3 choices!

They had their own rope and twine and old sheets and they were set! Literally the fun lasted hours and hours. Here is the structure they made for their fort: And …
