My little Bean adores books. So naturally I was delighted when, just a few weeks ago, I was able to track down a family favorite. A series my mom’s mom read to her, and that my mom then eagerly shared with my older sister and I: The Faraway Tree Collection by Enid Blyton. Just saying […]
When in Saginaw…
Why not try your hand at milking a fabric cow? Or sit on a giant tongue inside a massive set of teeth. Or simply serve up some plastic ice-cream! Saginaw may be one of the most dangerous cities in the Unites States, but I do believe we’ve found a sweet spot {in the shape of […]

As the temperature drops and the playful hours of the day get shorter, these little ones simply kick off their shoes and throw off their sweaters at the slightest hint of warmth and soak up every last minute of outdoor play. And do these babies know how to swing! {Bean, Bug, and their beloved cousin, […]
Rhubarb Sour Cream Pie
I must confess, I was a little intimidated when a friend handed me a bundle of rhubarb and my husband’s face lit up. He adores rhubarb sour cream pie. His mama made it. His grandma makes it. His wife had never even laid her hands on rhubarb. And we know how horribly things went last […]
Excuses, Updates and an ATW Guest Post
Contrary to what a lack of posts for almost a week may depict, I’m alive and semi-well. Emphasis on semi.

Speaking of peaches…our little tree is dropping gorgeous, juicy […]
Oh, How He Loves!
