Continue Reading →We had a bit of a different Halloween this year. My husband is in Spain for 15 months, so that was on my mind as I was thinking about Wyatt’s costume. I know when I think of Spain, I always think of the running of the bulls. What better way to show our love […]

Her costume was a mash up composed of a faux fur hat that my sisters and I wore long ago when playing dress up and a hand-me-down dance recital costume. In a pre-school parade filled with super […]

Continue Reading →This summer, we went to a new neighborhood park with lots of nice shiny equipment, including a sweet child-sized black gloss finished picnic table. Eager to try out Elsa’s more independent sitting skills, I put her on her bottom, on the seat facing out onto the concrete pavement below. Perhaps you can guess what happened next. I looked […]
