Spring Flowers Undone

Having been caught with the peanut butter again, it was put away and my little one went for the flowers instead.


She was quite happy to pause her experiment to show me what she’d accomplished.


We salvaged the flowers she hadn’t yet dismantled and let her play with what was left.


How can I be upset with her when she’s obviously having such a grand time?


Still, I’ve got to find a way to get her interested in items that are NOT on top of tables and counters.


Here’s my question for all of you who are either done having babies or who have breaks larger than 2 years:  At what point do things settle down enough that you start feeling productive again?  I thought it would be sometime soon, but I’m starting to wonder.   Keeping up with this little explorer of mine is a full time job in itself!

Thank goodness she’s cute.

Peanut Butter Monster

My husband and a few of my children LOVE peanut butter.  Several of them will make two or three peanut butter sandwiches throughout the day as a snack.  The only problem is, the peanut butter is usually left out on the kitchen counter, lid off, and we have a little explorer who is undaunted by heights and forever hungry.


Apparently she’s added peanut butter to her list of favorite foods.  If she walks through the kitchen and sees it up there, she takes matters into her own hands.  How she got herself a plastic spoon is beyond me.

I know a couple of these are blurry since she was moving so much, but they make me laugh so here goes.












We’re calling her the Peanut Butter Monster.  I’m sure the pediatrician would be thrilled with me.

Spring Flowers



The vibrant yellow and green of these flowers grabbed my attention in the grocery store recently, and I decided to take matters in to my own hands.  I need spring.  Badly.  So I’m providing it for myself, in the form of flowers on the kitchen table.

I found these little pitchers several months ago and have been saving them for just such a display.  I love their simple shape and the graphic, modern feel that comes from the black lines.


Parading down the kitchen table, they add a drop of sunshine to my day and make me smile.


What’s been making you smile lately?
