Hooray! It’s May and that means another Target Beauty Box arrived in the mail! This one was a bit more expensive than the previous two – $10 – but Princess says the samples are worth more. I’m not complaining either way, I’m just excited it arrived – and the day…
My mom is one of the smartest people I know, and over the years I’ve learned a couple of things from her. Like: Always wear lipstick out of the house. When the sewing machine acts up, rethread it before trying anything else. “Pardon my French” excuses four-letter words. Hold your…
Obviously the first thing you need to do when you’re planning a party is send out invitations. Otherwise no one would come, and a party without guests is just sad. Since early June is prime graduation and wedding season Mom was worried that people might commit to another event before…
When I opened my child care in 1999 I had the children bring their own sleeping bags for nap time. It seemed like a good idea, but ended up being a huge hassle. The parents had to take them home to wash every Friday and didn’t always remember to bring…

If you’ve been around a while you’re probably shocked that I’m writing about a Mother’s Day craft so far ahead of time, since most of the time I’m rushing around at the last minute like a chicken with it’s head cut off. In fact, the year we made sun catchers…
My parents’ 50th wedding anniversary is this June. My Mom started planning their party about a month ago, but being a middle child who wants to make everyone happy, she kept changing her mind and driving my poor dad crazy. Yes Teacher, this is where I get it from. I…
It’s April, and that means it’s Target Beauty Box time! I can see why Princess is so obsessed with sample boxes – now I am too! One of the best things about the Target Beauty Box is that it arrives so quickly! Princess ordered it on Monday and on Friday…
This post was first published on June 23, 2010 and is being reposted because my parents are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary this year. I was a young teen when my grandparents celebrated their 50th, and thought that 50 years was such a loooooooong time. But now that I’m all…
