Farewell to Summer

By -


The summer is un-officially over now. Once Labor Day hits, I feel that Summer is over. The weather may stay nice and it might feel like summer, but it's really back to business as usual. It turned out to be a really fun summer, which I didn't think was possible with an infant and a toddler. But we did a lot of fun things and kept our sanity. Win!

Here are a few Highlights of our summer...


  • Popsicles on the deck
  • Piya's Birthday at the Fair
  • Playdates with friends
  • Trips to the Park
  • Everett's first haircut
  • July 4th Hotel Staycation with the Vlachs
  • Movie Wednesdays for Kids
  • Como Zoo
  • MN Landscape Arboretum
  • MN Children's Museum
  • Annual Trip to Michigan
  • Boat Rides
  • Petting Zoo
  • Swimming in Hotel Pools
  • Beach fun
  • Lunch at Cossetta's for Pizza
  • Snuffy's Malt Shop
  • A'Maze'N Farmyard
  • Peppermint Twist
  • Library
  • Picnics with Grandma & Grandpa Robideau
  • Fun with Grandma & Grandpa Singer-Towns
  • Ponderosa (or as we call it Ponderrhea)
  • Dance Parties
For Labor Day we are visiting my parents at their campsite and a day at the beach. Then tomorrow it's back to school for my husband (lame) and time for me to get back on schedule. September brings a couple of special birthdays, Apple Picking Festivals, Craft Fairs, Nickle Dickle Days (yes, you read that right), ECFE classes, MOPS, Garage Sale Days, Junk Bonanza, and cooler weather. 

Farewell Summer, you never cease to amaze me.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts.

Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
