The race is on…American Girl “closet makeover” contest!

So we are off and running on this idea of inspiring you to clean those closets and convert them into a great play space. I had to add new photos of ours. You know my kids didn’t have school last week because of the snow and ice…missed 4 days of school. (deep breath. finding my [...]

Snowed in, going “snow” crazy!

Ok, seriously. I adore my children. I do. (I mean look at Emma dressed in my coat and hat and purse – what’s not to love?) I know it seems like I complain about them here and there but that’s just the oh, so tired, me wishing for a break from motherhood jibber jabber. However, [...]

Last night, I started to try and [...]
