Sometimes I find myself reading frantically simply because I want to finish a book. I have a tendency to read several books at once and there are so many more books I want to read that I seem to be just trying to get through. That’s how life feels right now, too. I’ve got so [...]

Counting Down the Days…

by gidget family

I can hardly believe that we will be a family of five sometime in the next few weeks (!!). I’ve finally started doing some nesting… it’s amazing how the daily wrangling of a 1-year old and a 4-year old has made my nesting instinct sit on the back burner with this pregnancy. I just wanted [...]

The Ice Cream Party

by gidget fun

We had so much fun celebrating Gigi’s fourth birthday. Here are a few more photos from her fun backyard celebration. Ice cream bowls were also snack bowls and party favors along with the felt ice cream cones {ie, no paperware or cheesy goody bags}. Drinks for the mamas, snacks, and flowers from our yard.
