After attending the annual Gnome and Fairy Day last month, both of my kids have had a sudden interest in gnomes and fairies. I decided to encourage that imagination by helping them each start their own gnome and fairy gardens. Gnome Garden My original vision was for each to have their own terra cotta saucer […]
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 […]
Our daughter’s room has been in need of a bookcase for sometime. Originally her few board books were easily contained in a fabric bin tucked under a side table. Those days passed quickly and soon the bin, shelf under table, etc were overflowing with books. Rather than purchase a new bookcase, I shopped our house […]

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 […]
I’ve had mixed emotions since learning of the closing of Toys ‘R Us. It wasn’t a big part of my childhood. I grew up in a small town. Our toy store adventures were at KB Toys at a mall in another city. I later worked part time during high school at KB’s larger store, Toy […]
