My daughter’s preschool had “Book Character Day” today. I missed that memo until early this week. Thankfully, I was able to convince her to dress up as Margaret Tiger. I suppose technically she’s a TV character, but seeing as we own quite a few Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood books, Margaret qualified in my eyes. Relying on […]

I laughed at the memory of how my youngest became a little “Houdini” shortly after one year – managing to escape her attire at naptime and bedtime. Trying to keep her clothed (and minimize the loads of laundry needed in a week), we came up with 3 […]
My husband brought home this little wooden rocking chair from his parents’ house last month. Our daughter immediately gravitated toward the chair, sat in it and exclaimed, “it’s my size!” I knew it would be perfect for her room, but first needed a little makeover. The fabric on the seat was discolored and torn. The […]
