So a craft A and I did last week was inspired by this post and blog I found on Pinterest. You can find the tutorial by clicking on the link! So here are our results: My way (following the instructions) A’s way (with five strings…because A is really into making five of items right now). [...]

I don’t think i ever got around to posting about this, mainly because I entered the lovely part of my nausea/morning sickness at the time when it happened. Hence my posting became a bit sporadic. When we returned from our vacation in June we arrived to this: A strong storm had taken down our front [...]

I’m blogging this because it’s my way of writing down what I really do not want to forget! A has taken a real interest in baby Ferb (Did I mention we have nicknamed the baby “Ferb” until we come up with a real name? Because they are going to be born in…that’s right Ferbuary. HA!). [...]

A was very into “I do it myself” here, so our triceratops ran in lots of circles. Trying to find which dinosaur was behind the plant. Digging for fossils. Dinosaur Sue! And us! Astronauts! Not a part of [...]

On Friday morning we planned to take A to the traveling dinosaur exhibit in our town (pictures to come later!). Much to our surprise my sister called and told us that she had tickets to the first Auburn game and parking passes! We quickly called and got a hotel in Montgomery, and in a few [...]
