round about: kid car hacks & virtual summer camps

Thumbnail image for round about: kid car hacks & virtual summer camps

We’re in the thick of it now, aren’t we? Summer camps, summer road trips, the boredom of our children, the hot sun, and all those other summer things that keep us occupied. And yet our regular lives are still there demanding our attention too: workloads, house cleaning, to-do lists, and responsibilities. Why is it every […]

I think the problem with being a grown up in the summer is that you really just want to be a kid again. No responsibilities, no schedule, no clocks. Nothing to stop you until twilight. That’s got to be the reason why, every summer, I find myself wishing I could just stop working until September. […]

Due to some unfortunate problems with some links I once posted in this weekly round about, I’m changing things up a bit.  Things are going to shift – at least for now. Let’s try a round about of crafty DIYs that tickled my fancy throughout the week. I’m always finding new things I want to try, […]

Well, it’s been a week. I’ll give you that much. I’m still rather stunned that it’s summer. I know I shouldn’t be, the calendar doesn’t lie. Maybe I’ve just been too busy to keep up with it? I think that might be it. Whatever the reason, I”m going to keep this short so I can […]

I swear I only realized yesterday evening that June is merely 3 days away. And even then, I was surpirsed it was a “week” away, then looked at the calendar and realized that wasn’t even true! I don’t know about your neck of the woods, but around here, May seems to be the month where […]

It’s been an amazing week at Small for Big “headquarters”. We have a new fur baby, and getting to know her is taking all kinds of interesting turns. Meanwhile, Birdie has become so obsessed with earthworms that when I picked her up from school yesterday she was keeping two of them in her sweatshirt pocket as […]

It’s almost Mother’s Day and I’m not ready! I wanted the house cleaned up, my workload cleared out of the way, and some suggestions all lined up for my little family on how we might spend the day. Typical mom approach right? Take everything over and control it as best I can? So, since none […]

It’s May 1st! I’m so excited for Spring and May and all the wonderful things that happen this month. Birdie has a piano recital, and a dance recital, we have a big Memorial weekend trip planned, and I hope there’s lots of random moments staring at the new green leaves and feeling the warm sun […]

If I weren’t so busy with such great things, I would take a week off. It can be a bit of a blessing and a curse when the work you love takes over your schedule. It will even out in another week or two, but for the moment, my head/computer/hands/schedule/life are overflowing! I guess it’s just […]

The only thing I have to say about this week is that last night it snowed. Yep. Our warmer weather went out the window and I spent the evening under a heated blanket, I was so chilled! Fingers crossed the forecasted warmer weather arrivees asap so I can just ignore what may or may not […]

The theme of my week seems to be about lightening my load. I’m all for that. The flu seems to be waning, though slowly, and my Easter projects are all done. I even met another deadline for a freelance client, and today we’re headed out of town to celebrate my husband’s birthday – even though […]

I’m working my tush off on a new very exciting partnership that I can’t share quite yet, but wow the weeks are flying by while I try to get it all done! Of course, this week went by even faster because I lost a couple of days to a really horrible allergic reaction. Note to […]

By the time you’re reading this, I’m very very very hopeful that my hard work this past week has turned into several new Easter products over at Smallful. I’ve been sketching, model-making, adjusting, illustrating, cutting, taping, gluing, redoing, rethinking, revising, and photoshooting all week. It’s been such a blast. But, I’ll admit, my eyes and […]

It turned into a very unusual week for me. Technically, my head thinks it’s Wednesday, not Friday. That’s because I lost two days this week to the dreaded scourge known as Pink Eye. Birdie had a terrible cold, and then Pink Eye came to play and we just had a lovely time. That’s sarcasm. Though […]

It was the week that was. Not much happened really. The frigid temperatures remained below freezing 24/7. In fact, they remained almost entirely in the single digits. The same dang project I was hoping to finish on Monday is still unfinished as of this post. Several emails still await my reply. I’m really not sure […]
