The Power of Play: Life is a Bowl Full of Fun

I’ve been a little absent from bloggyland due to that little thing called life in the Mommy Track. Holy smokes! Where did Spring go, anyway? Summer is just around the corner. If life [...]

The Power of Play: Bubble, Bubble, stay out of trouble

Hi folks! I’ve been absent out in bloggyland with a severe case of birthday overload. It’s characterized by biting off more than I can chew and an annoying, stubborn aversion to anything with a licensed character that is pre-made. This would be no problem for crafty goddess Destri or any other of you lovely craft [...]
