So, as many of you are probably unaware, tomorrow is the first day of October. You’re welcome. There’s a reason I’m pointing that out, however. Some of the blogs I read often are starting a challenge called 31 Days of ______ (housekeeping, grammar rules, design tips, butterfly wrangling, whatever.) No matter what the topic, each […]
The Poor Clares are very busy ladies, so I asked if there is ever a time when they just have fun. They said, “Of course, we schedule time for recreation every day!” I thought that sounded wonderful and immediately asked where I could sign up. How much more pleasant this world would be if we […]

Once upon a time Tristan went to the park with his Mama. She wanted to show him all the beautiful things in nature. First, she let him feel the grass with his toes. He liked it so much, she let him feel it with his fingers. It was such a magical day, he thought he might […]
Unless you count the horrible shot we asked a stranger to take of us in front of the Capitol Building last year, we haven’t had our family pictures done in awhile. I can’t seem to find the actual Capitol Building picture to share (how fortunate for you!) so enjoy this handmade depiction instead. Just don’t […]

Are you familiar with Groupon? The coupon site that pushes teeth whitening and pedicures like carnies pushing the duck game? Well, after wading through daily emails for massage and dance class discounts, I actually found something I couldn’t pass up. It’s a coupon for $45 for a 16×20 gallery wrapped canvas.
