This week seems to be flying by faster than I can process. I promised the EDC photos that I have not even had a chance to look through yet *eesh*, Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dave (from the EDC) to work on my cover letter for Second Story Press and I had hoped to be much [Read more]
Well, it’s been quite a bit of work but we are finally done! Yesterday Emeraude & I cut a ‘door’ into the pinata & filled it with the goodies bags we had made for her friends. We then taped the door shut and papier maché’d over that so it would be smooth for [Read more]
...and if you live in a small town like us, where there isn't a specialty craft store, no problem, everything on the list can be bought at the grocery store/pharmacy [Read more]
Pet Plants – Springtime, Chinaberry.com. too neat! I’m thinking maybe we could buy a carton of extra large eggs and make our own version of these (the ones they are selling come in ceramic eggs that look absolutely precious, and not terribly expensive but still out of our budget as I [Read more]
Egg Creatures and more creative crafts projects, templates, tips, clip-art, patterns, and ideas on marthastewart.com It’s no secret that I love Martha Stewart but this is even cooler than her usual crafts and a must make for us before Easter… The only question is wether to [Read more]
I am feeling very good about my recent progress towards having the Emeraude Exploring collection completed and published. Don’t let this give the wrong impression, you won’t be finding it at Chapters next week lol, but it is definitely moving forward in a very real way. This [Read more]
Well, the big skate carnival weekend has come and gone and I survived! lol… It was a lot of fun (despite one dissapointment, read ‘photo day’) Emeraude did very well as did all the skaters. At Saturday night’s show she didn’t even fall at all! Sunday she & her [Read more]
Emeraude had so much fun this weekend, it was great to see her shine and come out of her shell quite a bit as well. She received a ton of balloons, flowers and beanies from friends and family who came out to watch (Thanks everyone!) which made her feel really special. Lloyd had volunteered to [Read more]
Well, it’s finally here! Dress rehearsal last night was GREAT, Emeraude loved it. She was too sweet telling me before her numbers that she was “a little nervous Mommy” and afterward sharing that she felt better – too cute. All the kids did really well and the music is [Read more]

À matin j’espérais vraiment faire du ‘travaille d’école’ avec Emeraude et cela n’aurait pas pu mieux finir… Nous avons travaillé dans un des livres que Grandmaman nous a trouvés sur ces voyages, pleins de couleur et d’autocollants – parfait pour Emeraude! Elle aime bien [Read more]
and then POW!! right out of the blue as Emeraude & I were making snack this morning the balloon in the pinata pops! only problem is that we hadn’t yet gone high enough up the balloon so we put a new one in and blew it up again until it filled out the shell of [Read more]
Easter is quickly on it’s way and of course Emeraude’s Nursery School will be having a special day that week. At Christmas, Emeraude had wanted to make a pinata for her school’s Christmas party, we made a Santa head, it was great, alot of fun and learning in the process so we are [Read more]
It was a crazy day but before Emeraude was to head to her Dad’s I thought we could do a little gardening. Our beans (haricots) grew like CRAZY and I knew she would enjoy transplanting them and getting a look at the roots. Emeraude found a few beans that were just barely germinating and this [Read more]
