See this pretty little dear? She’s got some sort of flu bug. Poor thing was throwing up last night and dry heaving really bad. Her whole body would go completely limp after each little bout. I absolutely hate when my babies are sick. I feel so terrible for them. And I’m sure they feel hopeless […]

Cookie Mosaic

Brownie in collage form

Brownie wanted bangs. She has the kind of face shape AND personality that no matter what hair style she has she pulls it off.

Making Butter

It has been nine years since we’ve read the Little House series aloud. I can’t believe it’s been that long! Bon Bon and Semisweet remember them. Brownie (11) remembers some of the books but the younger ones do not. I decided it was high time to read them again. It is the perfect beginning to […]
