I love to watch Bubbles’ creativeness grow as she does.  Her playtime has gotten more complex, as have her building skills.  It’s fun to see the structures she puts together, and then to see the stories she creates around them.

Mega Bloks American Builders Jeep Off-Road Adventures Set #AmericanBuilders

Blocks are some of her favorite, and we spend a lot of time building with them.  So when we recently had the opportunity to review the new Mega Bloks American Builders Jeep Off-Road Adventure set, I was excited to see what she would think about it.  Blocks plus trucks would equal lots of fun for her, I was sure.

A Note to the Birds: This is Not Your House

I’m not exactly a stranger to wildlife.  Growing up I saw bears and moose on my porch, heard wolves and coyotes howling through the night, and I’ve even had a deer hit my car.  Yes, you read that correctly: a deer jumped out of the ditch and bounced off the side of my car.

What’s a little new to me is the aggressiveness and possessiveness of a generally docile creature: a bird.  And I don’t mean seagulls, which can be very aggressive, or even predatory birds like a hawk.  Just your general run-0f-the-mill small bird, like a robin.

 

Last year my husband came back in the house and announced that a bird had taken a diving swoop at his head as he tried to enter the garage.  I’ve seen birds fly into doors and cars before, so I just assumed it was disoriented, so we kind of laughed it off. Continue reading »

I’ve loved home decorating most of my life.  I think I may have shared this before, but I actually considered a career in interior design for awhile.  I like looking over colors and prints and textures and deciding how they might change up a room.

There are some great new trends this spring, especially in terms of colors.  Grays and blues – both favorites of mine – are in, so there are lots of paint and accessory choices in my favorite color palettes.  Light wood finishes are in, too, but I’m still more a fan of darker shades.

Kmart Semi Annual Home Sale

Keeping up with new trends and incorporating them into your home can be costly, though.  So I like to take advantage of sales whenever possible.  And right now there’s a great one, the Kmart Semi Annual Home Sale! Continue reading »
