Just click on the picture to be taken to the store site. The last one isn't a cupcake wrapper but I thought it might make a good one. It's red polka dotted cloth. Neat idea?

No work today! 2008-05-27 20:27:41 For Memorial Day we all rented a minivan and went to Knobels Grove Amusement Park with Brian’s family. Quite a nice day. Keeping in mind that we had two small children and I was nursing yet another health issue I have to say that it was really enjoyable. Lily had a GREAT day, as you can see. Her favorite rides were the slide and tugboat. Knobels is such a great place for kids since 95% of the

Book of the week.... 2008-06-26 23:15:42 When I was 10 I fell in love with Chris Van Allsburg. You may have heard of him through such blockbuster hits as Jumani and Zathura. However, it was a combination of his writing style and illustrations that struck me. His stories are strange and are filled with ambiguity allowing the reader to fill in the blanks. My favorite book, which is a perfect example of this, is "The Mysteries of Harris Bur

Mollys 1! 2008-06-23 11:17:55 I really can't believe Molly is already 1! She still seems so small....to me. We devoted the top tier of the cake solely for the birthday girl. I thought it was a cute idea for photographing a child eating their first cake.PSYou don't even want to know what the kitchen looked like in this cake's wake. Sort of like the way Molly looks below.

It's been a while.... 2008-06-21 16:39:44 Well, it certainly has been a while since my last post. With all the attention I was devoting to the Grosgrain site, I was debating whether or not to change this site into something more of a personal update page about the fam. However, I had a comment in my last grosgrain update from someone who mentioned that they had missed my posts....and to tell you the truth I did too. So, starting Monday

I've been having 'laptop issues' and cannot take my computer outside so I've been longing to have something to read on the porch that I can really look forward to.
