featuring unique and handmade items to make the world a brighter place
Today was a crazy hot day…..hot like summer. We had to go outside and play. After about an hour and a half, River had had enough….me too. But she still had fun playing out in the sun….she played a bit of croquet…..
set up an obstacle course….which involved taking out almost everything from the garage…..
And then of course running around the obstacle course a few times….
And then declaring herself exhausted! But then, she had to do a bit of digging…before we headed in for a glass of cold water!
{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend….
River loves to draw pictures of me with the babies inside of my tummy. They are all adorable…but this latest one I found extra cute!
And I had to include a picture of my actual tummy…it’s not easy getting a good shot of your stomach…when you are taking it yourself…..
Last Wednesday, Tuesday came with me to my ultrasound appointment. It was a lot of fun to have her with me…I wish I had taken some photos of the time we spent together…..but I guess you don’t always need photos….but I do have photos from the ultrasound. Baby A is the boy…he is on my right side.
Baby B is the girl..she is on my left side…It is sort of funny knowing which baby is on which side….It is just amazing to see them moving around and so full of life….modern technology still freaks me out sometimes…..so different from the stories my mom told me about her pregnancies and births….
It was a great experience to share with Tuesday.
I’m not sure when the reality of twins will hit me….maybe not til I’m holding them in my arms….
River got some new craft items and I think she is going to spend the day coloring, markering, stickering, glueing, scissoring, taping, painting and all that other good stuff.
Her latest obsession is butterflies..for our butterfly wall..which I’ll have to write about in another post…we are all about butterflies and Spring!
And speaking of butterflies and Spring..it was so nice to see the sun coming in through the kitchen window..warming up the tomatoes..maybe Spring has arrived…..
Last week was my husband, Christopher’s birthday….so it was banana cream pie time….a birthday tradition. I only make this recipe once a year. Tuesday and River had great fun helping me make it.
There are a lot of components to the dish and they helped do most of the work…from the cutting to the assembling.
It is always more fun when you have help in the kitchen!
I think Tuesday’s favorite part is the eating of the pie…..it is only good for a few days..so it has to be eaten quickly, which Tuesday doesn’t mind!

Have a great weekend….and enjoy this April Fool’s snow..inspired by mother nature…..
