Hi Friends! My oldest son, Knox, will be entering Kindergarten this year. Wowza, it is hard to believe. We have visited the school, attended rising kindergarten parties and received the dreaded school supply list. In all honesty, I have no interest in carting a toddler and 5-year-old around in a store to locate a certain […]

Rain Rain Go Away…What am I thinking, it’s April Hi Friends, It is pouring rain in Charlotte today. Really… it is raining hard. It is days like this I try to rack my brain to keep everybody entertained without turning on the T.V. Art projects usually are a hit. My kid’s seem to like it […]

Each Party guest created their own Superhero identity with capes and DIY paper shields. It was a hit. I keep the materials on hand because we continue […]
We are in the “learning to ride a bike” stage of parenting. My son, Knox, rocks it on his scooter and big wheel, but it was time to master the bike. He was getting too big for the bike we purchased him last year. My niece, Sadie, was gracious to let Knox have the bike […]
