What bugs me most about my husband also happens to be the exact thing I love most about him: he's just a big kid. It's a complicated thing...but it's what leads me to come home and find a giant slide installed in the basement or the bottom half of the kitchen counter tops turned into 6 feet of magnet boards or the kids riding down the steps on a mattress or...well...you get the picture.

The Rain in Spain…… {My Fair Lady Costume}
I had well-intended plans of doing a bigger photo shoot for this costume.

A Goldilocks Costume for Ruth…Too Hot? Too Cold? Or Just Right?
Once upon a time I had a baby.Her name was Ruth and she had wild and wonderful untamed golden locks. So I decided that she must be Goldilocks for Halloween and I set off to make her a costume.But I wasn't sure what Goldilocks should look like...And this was the best costume I could come up with: And although I loved her in the dress and pinafore I made(and how could I not...just look at those knees poking out between her dress and socks...)I wasn't sure if she looked like Goldilocks from ...
