I can’t believe it’s been 9 whole years. It’s been the longest 9 years of my life, I’ll tell you that much. Not really. It’s flown by. Want to hear how it all started? Imagine this.. It’s July 20th, 1990 (I had to google this today because I had no idea of the actual date).…

Poor Henry, the lamps kept falling over on him. He was such a trooper. He spent most of the week crammed in the car with home dec. items surrounding him. Pillows, curtain rods, lamps, you name it. The Parade of Homes opened yesterday (Saturday) and we are all pretty exhausted around these parts. Mom &…

There is a great quilt shop in Salt Lake called Pipers that I try to get to at least once everytime I am here.  They always have the stuff that I see online that I can’t ever seem to find in stores. Plus, it’s in this adorable old house with a big porch, so you…

I’m such a last-minute-er. I can’t believe I eeked this thing out just under the wire.  Phew, I barely made it. Apron submitted to Tie One On: check. I found this jumbo ric-rac that I completely flipped out about and was so happy it was the theme for this month.  The apron strings  are  a…

I know you’ve all been sitting on pins & needles wondering how our "Day out with Thomas" experience went. I kid, I kid. It was good. The actual train ride, a bit lame. It was marketed as a "25-minute train ride" which in my mind conjures up images of rolling hills, frolicking, horses, etc.,.  Not…

Hi Friends! Coasters are now available in the shop. They would make a darling Mother’s Day gift (nudge, nudge) or a weekend splurge. Sorry for getting this posted so late today. Henry’s molars are coming in and all he keeps saying over & over is "Hugs! Hugs!" Lots of snuggles, not so much progress on…

Diet Coke that is. It just seems to make the afternoon complete. And it really does taste better if you can sip it out of a fancy glass. There is some leftover chocolate birthday cake too, that is calling my name. An afternoon of coke & cake. This could be deadly. I hope Chris doesn’t…

I was digging through some old photos and found this one of my 5th birthday. I miss you, Strawberry Shortcake. I’m only 3 years older than Henry is now. Crazy. I’m officially in my thirties. I’m no longer thirty. I’m a thirty-something. Wow. I’ve recently discovered this great Flickr group called "365 Days". You have…

Well, we’ve officially been invited to take part in Root beer Fest ’07. This is what we have to contribute: Bulldog, Hansen’s (is sarsaparilla even a root beer? I blame Chris), Dad’s & Berghoff’s. Our friends birthday is tonight and he didn’t want a "birthday party" so instead, we are having a root beer tasting.…

I know, I already wished you Easter greetings, but I wanted to post some pics from yesterdays Easter egg extravaganza which was so fun (thank you, Jean!) We had to wake Henry up a little early from his nap, so he was a bit disheveled and confused at this whole egg in the basket game,…
