oy to the world. The big world. And the little world that lives inside our tiny home. Where Lego adventurers boldly go where no little plastic (wo)man has gone before and a little girl clamors for an old school calculator and holds it up to her ear because she thinks it’s a smart phone. Joy [...]

They only stayed for [...]

We picked out our Christmas tree in steady rain, but our spirits were not dampened. She’s the sweetest little tree and our home smells all fresh and pine-y.

Being Monday, I promised you all the final installment of the holiday give-away. There will be a give-away at the end of the post, but my planned holiday treat will be postponed a day or two while I wait for the beautiful, squishy package to come in the mail. In the meantime I’ll catch you [...]
