The Wee Little Bowl

I have a love of antiques and oddities, and actually did a little part time antiques dealing prior to having my daughter. She is getting bigger now, perhaps it is time to get back into it.  I thought I would start sharing some of the more unusual finds I picked up throughout the years, as [...]

The Frozen Strawberry

the frozen strawberry

The other day, I was sitting with my daughter at the dining room table, and she was munching on some frozen strawberries she had just requested. The kid looked like she was in sheer heaven eating these frosty bagged berries. You would think they were gourmet chocolates or something…lol. First, she greedily munches on the [...]

Lost in the Moment

My daughter was so caught up in playing with the salt dough we made today.

Picnik Fun

too cool for school

As some of you know, I lost some programs due to a virus last week.  One of them was my photo editing software.  It ended out being good in some ways.  I finally got around to trying the online editing software from Picnik.  I ordered new software, and will probably work mainly on that when [...]

Ain’t Nothin’ but a Houndawg

Bee

It was about this time last year that we lost our Redbone Coonhound.  She had barked at someone trying to break into our neighbors car, and the criminal shot her.  The damage from the bullet was extensive, and sadly we had to put her down. She was one of those dogs, the biggest pain in [...]

Currently blooming in [...]

My daughter went on a little field trip to the gymnasium with her playschool, last Friday afternoon.  She kind of got hooked on the barrel roller. Eventually she did stop going, in circles, and crashed out in the barrel. A few minutes after this one was taken they went outside to play on the climber [...]

This was taken after she had already gone to playschool, the park & taken a walk.  She couldn’t get enough & started playing on her outgrown Little Tikes slide.  My little girl is like the Energizer Bunny

Wordless Wednesday: Pasque Flower

The Pasque flower is supposed to bloom right around Easter.  Mine aways blooms just after.  It is a member of the buttercup family and is quite a prolific bloomer.

Wordless Wednesday: Bad Bangs

bad job cutting bangs

My daughter hates to sit still when I cut her bangs, and she has cowlicks to boot.  As you can see, this can lead to “bad bangs”.  When it is time to cut her bangs, I have to start in the morning, and go at it several times throughtout the day, so she won’t look [...]
