I am going to be honest I really don’t like Valentine’s Day but the Princess has been bugging me to make some Valentine’s Day stuff for out house. I decided I wanted to make a wreath which is also funny because I am not the biggest wreath fan unless it is for Christmas. I also … Continue reading
My children like most children are a tad obsessed with Angry Birds, Booga especially if he could have an Angry Bird drive a Train it would be the greatest thing ever.

I have been creating Halloween Costumes like a crazy woman. The Princess is going to be Dorothy for Halloween this year. My mom found her an authentic Dorothy Dress at the Goodwill Store (I think it was $4.00) but she couldn’t find shoes. The princess had a pair of red dress shoes that were a … Continue reading
