Do you know about Mma. Ramotswe and the #1 Ladies Detective Agency?I love them. They are good books. Really good. They make me happy.I wish I could remember who told me about these books several years ago in Baltimore. I would give them a hug.Also- The books have been turned into a series on HBO and also a movie I believe. I think I will catch some of it on YouTube, although I hope it

These works of art made me oh so happy. For a number of reasons really.But I'll let the artwork do the talking:Molly and Chester{Molly's best friend is our neighbor's dog, Chester. The resemblance is remarkable.}And:Me and Gage and Ashley and RachelAnd since they were both created using the writer on magnet board method, I will not be auctioning them to the highest bidder {grandparent.}

Remember those fun flower pot pens from way back when? I made some last week and they made me so happy. Here they are:Actually here is the first picture I took before I cleared most of the clutter away:That's more what it looks like around here. That paper right there in the corner? That's a list of Magic Tree House books. We cross out the ones we own or have checked out of the library. I

This is one of my Sesame favorites from the mushroom haircut days. I sing this song a lot. 12345-678910-1112. I've told the kids about it before. I finally thought to search for it online- and here it is! Both kids thought is was pretty cool too. I remember sitting on the couch, watching Sesame Street and thinking "I have to remember this song!"

Let me share.I have been making quiet books for the kids for years now. It's one of those projects that hasn't really happened. It's getting ridiculous now because the boys are getting so old. Oh well.So-I had a slight malfunction with the sewing machine. I thought it looked alright on this side of the fabric- I was willing to live with the odd zigging and zagging.And then I turned it over to the
