Thumbnail image for round about: watermelon party & seashell crowns

Another week, another round of errands, summer camps, freelance, hot days, and a fabulous thunderstorm. That’s kind of it really, life just rolled on this week. Nothing stands out as extra-special, but then again, all the little things ARE extra-special right? With that in mind, I’m looking forward to an average summer weekend full of […]

Would these masks scare or delight the kids in your house? I’m guessing it will depend on their age. See more of these beauties by AJ Fosik via The Jealous Curator.

Another week has passed us by – and August is just around the corner. How does this happen? How is it every summer August 1st arrives and I’m suddenly scrambling to do all those summery things I meant to do. We still haven’t made it to the beach. Seriously. It’s not that hard, but somehow […]

It seems we’re in the middle of a heatwave – and even this normally heat-loving blogger has been spending more time inside this week. Ooph, that midwestern humidity is definitely trying. Maybe today we all need permission to go to the beach/pool/sprinkler nearest us? Meanwhile, round about the internet: Suddenly you’ll want a yard full of […]

There’s really only one thing worth talking about this week: Summertime. It’s what gets me out of bed in the morning, and why I keep opening all the windows even when it’s a little too hot. Driving around with all the windows down and singing at the top of my lungs has been my favorite […]

It’s July already – how has your summer been so far? Ours has been very low-key, but I kind of like my summers that way. Simple, with time to stop and literally smell the roses. The only thing I’m trying to figure out is what the heck to do for the July 4th holiday. Our […]

Every summer I lose my marbles. All of our usual routines get thrown out the window, and though it sounds wonderful to shake things up, the transition is not pretty. I can’t tell you the number of little – and big – things I’ve forgotten this week while I tried to be more present with […]

A very interesting thing has happened at our house amidst the start of summer vacation. Somehow, my sweet Birdie has decided she wants to try “homeschool” all summer long. Now. I am not cut out to be an official Home School Parent. I love teaching, it’s in my genes and in my background: I taught […]

Today is Birdie’s last day of First Grade. Holy Hannah how is that possible? My husband keeps telling her she’s basically a second grader and that is making my head want to explode. Meanwhile, every freelance project for the month suddenly needs to be doe ttoday at noon so that I’m not pulling my hair […]

Thumbnail image for worth 1000 words: our kind of blocks

I can’t find the origins of this image, but that just makes it more mysterious. Can we please all have blocks like this? Or tile floors like this (the top layer, not the bottom!)? Or BOTH! Found via Pinterest.
