Hey! Thanks for stopping by. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Okay, I’ll be the first to admit that for the longest time I detested thrift stores. Just thinking of them brought the mothball/sanitizer/old lady smell to my nose and images of peg boards filled with headless Barbies danced in my mind. I hated some of the ugly (to me) clothes that my mom picked out and forced me to wear and there was never any of the cool stuff that all the other kids had.
I’ve decided recently though that I like thirft stores now that I’m in charge of what I buy. Did you know that Goodwill carries Fabric, notions and other crafty bits? Totally! That’s how Mom got me in there in the first place.
These were panels that I also found. Declan loves the little map blankie I made him.
Other nifty stuff:
Today is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Do something fun and summery tonight. We mainly plan on kissing the ground and thanking the sun, in advance, for not baking us to death this year.
"This image was taken at the Stonehenge summer solstice 2005 as the first rays of dawn touched the ancient monument. 21,000 people came to dance around the stones, on this once a year occurence. On no other day can you come within 10m of the stones!! " {Link}
Some Solstice Ideas for you:
- Blackout Sabbath - Shut off everything from noon to midnight and bask in the natural light provided by nature.
- Dance around the Maypole - Clothing optional… but I’m not bailing you out.
- Candle Night - Turn off all lights and use candles instead

Amazon is having a great sale on tons and tons of toys. Lots of outdoor stuff, but other cool stuff too… like this:
What is your ideal age?
For what? Cheese? Myself? I dunno. Really age is just a number - life is more about reaching a certain point of wisdom and common sense before you get old and crotchity. Seriously. There’s a point where the rise of one meets the fall of the other and I never want to go past it.
What is your best excuse for being late?
I usually blame it on Matt. He’s horrible with times. I swear it takes him twice as long to shower and the hair on his head is only inches long. It takes a good five minutes just to detangle my mane. If I don’t blame it on Matt I usually use the kids or traffic. Pretty unoriginal.
If you had to give yourself a nickname what would it be?
I dunno. I’d want a cool one. I once thought about ‘Z’, but I wouldn’t want to go to Canada and be called Zed. That’s the old wizard from The Sword of Truth series.

I may pretend that I update often, but sometimes life gets in the way. By life I mean 2 kids, running daycare, crafting and sleeping. Occasionally I'm just lazy too. Please bear with me. I love my readers!
