The other day Simon, Grace, and I found ourselves with a sleeping Ruth and an entire afternoon without plans. (Something that recently never seems to happen.) As we talked about what we should do with our time Simon wanted to show me a book he had checked out of the library. It was called "Draw Dinosaurs". I hadn't seen a book like this for years! Growing up my grandpa bought me loads of these kinds of books---how to draw cartoons, horses, fruit, 1950's costumes, whatever...and I LOVED ... View the Post

Thrifted Thursday–A Pink Dress
(their picture from the listing, not mine)I have been in search of a new dress.....forever. I really think I have been looking for over a year. I always try on tons, but something just always isn't right. (Does anyone else have problems finding dresses or is it just me?)I really was trying to remember when the last time I bought a new dress was, and it was for my brother-in-law's wedding which was 2 + years ago (they have the cutest baby boy now).Well, one sleepless, sick-child night last ...
