Hiking at Amethyst Brook in Amherst MA
We love to go hiking! We have been hiking as a family from way back when I had a baby in a sling, and when there was one in a sling and one in a backpack. We go on a hike almost every weekend, in hot or cold weather. It’s such a great way...
Summer vacation week in Provincetown MA
What can I say? It was so much fun! We went the second to last week in June, so the weather was good and bad. The first four days were beautiful. Temps were in the high 70′s. So we went to the beach! The beach by Captain Bob’s (where we stayed), Marconi, Race Point...
CSA Pick Up Day and Goats Are Sweet!
Today was our CSA (community supported agriculture) pick up day at Oxen Hill Farm in CT. Caleb and especially Rainey LOVE farms, farm chores and animal care! For this reason we always try to belong to a CSA. Especially one with Pick Your Own! We were lucky that at pick up today, along with...
Beautiful Moss Terrariums

What could be better for a nice summer accessory than an up-cycled Izzy cap? Especially with a garden fairy or silhouette of a nesting bird family or little boy playing the drums? I just love these little pendents! Fairies have been a favorite around here for years and one of my current loves is...
Simple Pleasures!
This last week or so has been very busy! We had so many activities going on that we had a rushing whirlwind of running around! Rainey was a frog in a local ballet and tech week with it’s usual late nights and fun and drama. While this is all good, I do love that...
Butterfly, Butterfly, now fly away to the blossoms
We made this sweet butterfly mobile this morning. We took a watercolor painting and used a butterfly punch to punch out a whole bunch of butterfly shapes. Then we glued two back to back with a piece of ribbon sandwiched between the two. We then tied the ribbon onto a cool piece of tree...
Paper! How A Nice Piece of Paper Can Bring New Life
These pieces of furniture were once an old, plain, Ikea desk and something in the 1/2 price bin at a tag sale. Enter some beautiful pieces of paper and look! New up-cycled and beautiful additions to our home! I love paper and have quite a stash. I recently learned of a store...
