Every Child's Dream

What did you want as a child? I always loved making forts. My sister and I would use our bunk beds and lots of sheets and blankets to make a super sweet fort on our bed. We would use pillows to stuff into the ladder and were small enough to fit through the ladder. This was a perfect door. When we wanted to hide we could just stuff the pillow back in. We also had a fort in the back yard behind the shed. It was our secret clubhouse and my mom even let us paint on the fence. The best forts were the ones that all of my sisters and I made in the snow. If the snow stayed long enough we were able to make whole cities including the shops. We all had our own little snow forts and we would go and visit each other. I can't tell you all the good memories we had in those forts.

Craft Time!

Hello all. So sorry for the delayed posting. The power cord for my laptop broke just as I was about to upload some crafting pictures. Finally the new power cord as arrived and I am back in business.

Here are a couple of crafts that you can do on the fly with household items. These are my favourite kind because they require little to no prep time. M loves making these sorts of crafts too because they are easy and have great results. They also make great gifts for grandparents :)

Sugar and Spice

What are little girls made of?

And everything nice,

That's what little girls are made of.

M's family recently got a little kitten. When I found out the family was getting this purebred British Blue shorthair I got a little nervous. M is still young and doesn't know that she has to be gentle with things. I was afraid that she was going to hurt this poor little soul.

Is this a job?

"I love you Kriken the whole wide world"

Some days I can't believe how lucky I am to be taking care of the cutest girl. I can't believe that I have the opportunity to mold and shape this little girl into the woman that she will become. I can't believe that it is my job to play with her all day. Today was one of those days that makes it all worth it.
