I found the easter bunnies!

Easter weekend is barreling towards us – I can feel the thump thump thump of the Easter Bunny’s feet pounding the pavement as I type! As usual, I’ve gathered too many things to share, with not enough time to share them all with you. So today, I’m playing catch up, because all of these things [...]

spring’s best eggtivities

I’m such a geek for tradition and my own childhood memories that part of me just wants to purchase an old-fashioned Paas egg dying kit and go to town with my girl. Do they still come with those little wire egg holders? But, with Tinker Lab’s 60 Egg Activities for Kids, I’d feel horribly lax [...]

gotta get app: Little Fox Music Box

Sometimes an iPad/iPhone app’s illustrations are so lush that I’m a little lost for words. I could see myself featuring this app just for the imagery, even if the functionality wasn’t so hot. But, luckily, Little Fox Music Box ROCKS. And I kind of mean that literally. It is, after all, a music app. Birdie [...]

rainy season? Bogs wash!

Ok, all painful title puns aside, it’s getting rainy over here. Every spring, after a long cold/crisp/clean winter, I make the shocking discovery that my kidlet really really really knows how to get dirty. And wet. In -5 seconds flat. This year we’re so well-prepared I’m hardly concerned (well, except for her butt, is it [...]

put some literary Spring in your step

There are so many things to explain and enjoy with Spring on our doorstep. I’m realizing with every “Why?” of a 3 year old that I need some help! Plus, I know the Easter Bunny likes to give books at our house. These are the books on my radar, my wishlist, and potentially on our [...]

spring break

When Birdie’s preschool started Spring Break, we decided a little road trip was the best way to handle her extra time. So, in a very Minnesotan way, we headed North to colder temperatures on the shores of Lake Superior instead of somewhere sunny and warm! When I told Birdie we were headed “Up North”, she [...]

raising a little librarian

Now here’s a unique way to help kids stay in touch with heavy, paper filled books that smell of ink and libraries (so much better than smelling a Kindle). Get them the Little Librarian Book Kit, (&19.99). Some of my fondest memories, best craft projects, and largest imaginings are thanks to my local library. Maybe [...]

Seriously, if you need some house inspiration mojo, Houzz is the place to go. So my latest ideabook at Houzz is a list of ways to bring spring indoors – because [...]

every bunny needs some bunny

I’m a little concerned. I just realized that Easter is less than 3 weeks away. I’m always excited for this rite of Spring, but wow, I’m woefully unprepared! Whether you celebrate Easter or prefer to revel and romp around all those magically green bits that are starting to appear in your yard, it’s definitely time [...]

weekly round about #77

All I really want to do today is find one of these rooms, a huge blanket/pillow, and cuddle up in those tubes. Without interruption. Without work. Maybe I’d bring a book … maybe not. I think I just need a day without expectations – a vacation from my own and everyone else’s! This week’s top [...]
