Then there was Sunday morning. We finished watching The Smurfs, and I agree they aren’t the best but the company was wonderful! Amara had Captain Crunch and I had a peanut butter sandwich (and a lot of coffee). Once that was done we headed to the office. Amara was very excited and wanted to show [...]

Nothing is Better than Chalk and Balloons
Amara spent the night with us last night and we had such a great time. She had brought with her the Glow in the Dark Chalk kit that she had gotten for her birthday last week from Uncle Mark and Aunt Sandy and she could hardly wait to get started. I read the directions and [...]
Can we go in the attic?
When Amara first asked me if we could go in the attic I kind of just said no and brushed it off but she became obsessed with wanting to go in our attic. We have lived in our home for about 6 years now. I have never been in the attic and I have absolutely [...]
Amara’s Pink and Purple Gown

Birthday Bash
It was a wonderful day for a birthday party and everything went perfectly. The weather man had predicted 72° with patchy clouds and it was exactly that – a perfect day for a bouncy house and 20+ kids to be in the backyard. Twiggy and Twursula could not have disagreed more. They really didn’t like [...]
