What an amazing 30 days it has been! About a month ago I decided to become a vendor at the Little Prairie Girl (LPG) Vintage Market Barn Sale. Since that time, I had been busy, busy, busy, preparing for the big day. The event was this past weekend and it was nothing short of spectacular.…
You win some. You lose some. And sometimes you do both in the same day. As a mom, one of my biggest faults is that I tend to be a “screamer.” If you’re a mom, I’m sure you’ve been there. Little pint-sized bundles of sass push and push until you reach your boiling point. As…
If you’ve noticed during my last few posts that my photography seems a bit rudimentary, it’s because for the last several weeks I have been without my baby. My Nikon D3100 that is. Yup…there are models out there that far surpass the ability of my humble little DSLR. But I love her and I had…
If I had a theme song for today’s post it would be “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. In fact, here’s a link to the song on YouTube just in case you’d like to play it while you read. There’s just something about little things that make me grin. It’s probably why the most satisfying projects I…
Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been 23 days since my last blog post. I’ll say three Hail Mary’s. On my knees… Over the last several weeks I’ve been gearing up for the Little Prairie Girl Barn Sale happening on Friday, April 11 and Saturday, April 12. If you’ve never been –…
And the hits just keep on comin’! It is the first day of March, and we are currently under assault. The snow and cold just won’t seem to stop this winter. We’ve already seen 2-3 inches of snow in the last 12 hours and by the end of tonight the forecasters are expecting an additional…
My mom often tells me that I’m an overachieving Mommy. I’m never quite sure if this is a compliment. She tells me it is, in fact, a good thing – that it just means I’m an overachiever in the DOM (Department of Mom). Since I’m not part of the world of “working moms,” who have…
Last Saturday morning I had the pleasure of doing a little shopping with my mom…kidless. Those of you with kids can appreciate how absolutely amazing that little treat can be. It was AWESOME! Rarely does the opportunity come along that I get to hang out with my mom minus the three-ring circus that is my…
I am dun with snow…D-U-N. I try to be a glass half-full kind of girl. But this morning as I woke to falling snow, I was hoping my glass was half-full of a margarita on a beach. Bring on the sun!!! This has been an especially long and harsh winter, in my humble opinion, and…
I’m baaaaa-aaaack! Yup…I suck. My last post is dated September 18. That was nearly FOUR MONTHS AGO! Agggggh! Just for the record – I was very honest about my ability to keep up with this blogging thing. But still, no excuses. All humility aside – I’m pretty good at a lot of things: crafting, organizing,…
