Eric Carle, Author of “The Hungry Caterpillar” Among Many Other Classics, Has Died

Very sad news. We had a “Hungry Caterpillar” themed birthday when Sasha turned one that was a huge hit – great decorations (mostly homemade or from the Dollar Store), a “Hungry Caterpillar” dress ordered off Etsy, and her (at the time) five year old brother even did a reading of “The Hungry Caterpillar” using a […]

Now That’s How You Celebrate Mother’s Day!

I have very few photos of the three mothers in my life but I did find this one from a few years ago which seems fitting – both as a day to celebrate and also because it captures how wild and crazy all these ladies are!

Saturday Snap – Priorities For New Fridge

Shea’s parents got a new fridge recently so we ended up with an old one they had (long story but not the old one that was in their kitchen – a different one they had) which they offered for us to use in our garage as a second fridge. We got it moved in the […]
