My New Toy
I have been spending a lot of time on the Splitcoast Stampers website because I just had to figure out how to ‘dry emboss’. Well, when I found out there is a cool little machine for it, I was so excited. I researched all night and found that this cute little “Cuttlebug” was on sale.
I told my sweet, adorable husband [...]
“It’d be silly not to!...
Some may have heard this story and will get a chuckle out of the title as it is now a coined phrase in the Russell household. It all started several months ago, when I signed up to be a Southern Living Consultant so that I can purchase gifts and stuff for the house at a discount. Shortly after signing up for that, I re-activated my Stamping [...]
Double Take
Take a look…..and what do you see? A pile of sweet fluff that looks like Kady? Is it a photo of my precious little Kady? No, but when we saw this little fella we had to meet him. He is so light and so sweet and in need of family. We felt we could finally offer a little pooch who reminds us of our Kady just that.
So, you [...]
Graduation Day
Kip and I were talking how neither of us went to Preschool and how fun it is that they even have a graduation ceremony. The ceremony was just so fun, they had a slide show to great music that of course made me cry, Miss Beth prepared the slideshow which recapped their entire year. It was so fun to relive some of those memories. The kids ma [...]
Wonderful Wednesday
This day is all that I expected it would be so far; a rush of emotions.? Joy, delight, happiness, sadness and a time of reflection, but most of all I am proud of my little man for all of his achievements this year.? Hayden has really gained so much from this year with his teachers and classmates, he has gained much more confidence and can e [...]
Shiny Happy People
This week we had a family day at the dentist office. What a blessing it is to have visits like we had this week, both kids were so calm, brave and eager to have their appointments.
I feel for many of my friends who have had really bad experiences at the dentist with their kids. Both kids seem to be progressing nicely w [...]
Field Trips
I cannot believe the school year is about over, it really just seems like Hayden just started school. It really has been a fun year. I loved being active in his classroom and that Gillian was welcome when I volunteered.
This year we had many fun outings, one of our first ones was to Santa’s Workshop where we had just [...]
Mothers Day Tea
In honor of all the moms, Hayden’s pre-school hosted a ‘Tea for Mom and Me” at school today. They had been preparing for this event for two weeks, with a lovely teapot invitation to start it all off. Then each child painted a terracotta pot and made a pretty pinecone plant for mom.
All of this adorned the nicely [...]
Backyard Roads
Ten years ago when we bought our home, we had grand plans for our yard. Pathways, gardens and benches and fountains. A sort of mini-retreat for us.
Eventually we updated our plans to include swing sets, sand pits, trampoline, and plenty of room for playing. This year, both of our kids and the neighbors have taken it upon themselves to add s [...]
