Nothing gets my mouth watering for Valentine’s Day like a good old fashioned bake sale. After organizing the bake sale at my daughters’ school on Friday, I was inspired to share some bits about it. I hope you enjoy the stories and photos. And that perhaps it will get your juices going to start the […]

Child-led play took my kids to “the beach” while I made chili
I had coupons that expired at Old Navy today. So I did something I never do – I took three girls, ages 2, 5 & 7 shopping – at the same time! They were great. They were thrilled about buying swimsuits and the thought of the beach while they still needed a winter coat to […]

I’d drive The Milk Truck. Would you?
I’ll admit when I first read about the The Milk Truck hitting the streets of Pittsburgh, driving around with a giant boob on top and offering moms a comfortable place to nurse inside it’s mobile nursing room – I thought it was a bad idea. I, like so many moms who want other moms to feel […]

Muddy dresses, jumping fences and boy neighbors
It’s our first day home from our Colorado trip, and before the bags were unpacked (or even unzipped) the girls were begging to play with friends. Then I got a text from our next door neighbor that her boys were looking to play with our girls. My oldest dropped her American Girl Doll in flash, […]

Simple to sew valentine banner
This banner was sewn by my sister-in-law and hangs on their mantle in Colorado. I also love the vintage wool ice skates she found at a thrift store, hanging above the banner. Together it’s the prefect seasonal display of Valentine happiness. To make the banner she created her own bias tape, using fabric, for the […]

Hello from the high alpine, in Snowmass, Colorado
This is a quick pop in to share some photos of us having fun in the Colorado snow. So far there has been lots of glove carrying, hats to counts, bibs to keep up with, helmets to buckle and feet to get into boots and on skis. Not to mention the snacks to have on […]

And we’re off, flying a family of five!
This morning we set off, out of the house at 5:30 AM for our first trip flying as a family of five. We’ve flown a lot with kids. But it seems we’ve had a dry spell since the birth of our third daughter. Maybe the purchase of a minivan had something to do with it […]

Renovations update, an old radiator and a vintage baby buggy up for grabs
This morning the rotted side of our garage was torn down and put in a dumpster by the time I got up, got breakfast and went to the store. Poof, just like that! For a before picture click here. I’m hoping someone will do a drive by looking for scrap metal and pick up that […]

Weaning and snuggles. Are we REALLY doing this?
The past few weeks my toddler has become really aggressive at me wanting to nurse. Demanding it, and then while she nurses she’s been kicking me if I do anything other than give her my full 100 percent attention – meaning no multitasking checking emails or writing blogs. Given these events, nursing has not been […]

Exciting Renovations starting at our Brown House
Since moving into our 1918 craftsman house six years ago, it’s been lovingly referred to as The Brown House. My oldest daughter named it that when she was two and it stuck. My old blog before this was called the Brown House News. Well, The Brown House is about to start undergoing some much needed […]
