Holiday DIY Projects are on the Horizon

Glass Ornaments

I know school has either just started or will be starting in the next week for most.  But I am already starting to think about the holidays. I'm not sure if it's because we are going to be spending time in Disney World in December so my holiday time is going to be crunched or because I cannot wait to start getting my arts and crafts together.

Then we were sent home with a little purple box with a few big bulky maxi pads.  And that was it. Until you actually got your period. Back in the 80s periods were not a topic of ...

Well, she learned about horses and penguins. Which happen to be two of her favorite animals. In the morning, farmer Bob taught her about his farm and how his horses work on the farm.

Mornings at my house start early. Mostly because Sebastian is ready to start the day at the first ray of sunlight. He likes to start each morning with a somewhat not so gentle tug of my hair.
