play creatively
Yes it’s late in the day but I hope you all had (and still are having) a wonderful Easter Sunday. Aside from the cat scratching strep throat I’ve got going on I think things worked out pretty well for us this year (I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to make it off the couch). …
Now that baby O has wiggled his way into the title of toddler, I knew it was high time I did away with the itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny baby towels that I’ve been stretching over and around him in and attempt to dry and cuddle after bath time. Little A’s polar bear towel had also seen quite …
As is the norm around here, we’ve got a pretty busy week ahead of us. With lots of exciting illustration work going on (naps and bedtime just won’t cut it this week) I’ve had to get creative about how to entertain the Littles. I’m not sure much can be done to keep Baby O (who …
We had an impromptu Valentines snack this weekend. We made love-inspired lunchables with turkey, cheese, crackers and cookie cutters.A scrumptious little snack that filled our hearts and our bellies.A snack that had little A and myself grabbing for more.yum yum! Hope your Valentines weekend was filled with love and delicious goodies!
It’s finally here! A day I’ve long been awaiting. A day when little A will be sent off to school with a bag full of Valentine booty for all his little preschool mates to enjoy. Oh how I love Valentines. Hands down some of my favorite memories as a child were cutting doilies and red …
I find that fashion inspiration can come from just about anywhere…and at anytime. But I have to say, I didn’t expect it to come from Little A’s toy box. Today, while working on fine motor skills, I pulled out his lacing beads. I started to make patterns on one strand, and he did the same …
For a little sneak peak inside our bat cave, fly on over to Cafe Mom and take a gander. Sheri Reed of Cafe Mom was kind enough to interview and invite me to give a mini tour of our new South Pasadena apartment, and truly, I was delighted to accommodate. It was a wonderful opportunity …
Our Little A is a budding mathematician (or at least that is what his very biased mother thinks) and we are more than encouraging it (hey, the arts are great and all, but any other way to make a living and we say go for it!). He’s been obsessed with puzzles for quite some time …
For Christmas this year (or I should say this past year) Jon and I decided to exchange gifts that wouldn’t cost anything. It was an exciting and delightful creative journey of suspense, surprise and serendipity. We are going for an old school scientific/ecological environment in our living room and I’ve been obsessed with all things …
It truly has been the most wonderful time of the year for me. With cookie-exchange parties for hosting and caramel apple cider for toasting and caroling around in the car (albeit a little too late on Christmas Eve….oops), I could not have asked for a better Christmas.We didn’t travel anywhere this season because of Jon’s …
