it’s officially spring break for my kids at 4pm. today.

husband is traveling, so the kiddos and i are making big plans for the next ten days. i’m thinking about putting them in the car & road-trippin’ somewhwere, but i can’t pick a good, 3-4 day destination! any ideas?!? not vegas. not l.a., washington is a bit too far to drive in that time… we’re going to zions in may. !!! where should we go???

this morning, i am starting spring break early by heading over to the bijou market with girlfriends! we gotta get there while the pickin’s good!

it’s today, and tomorrow. you don’t want to miss it!

(i guess you need more caffeine as you get older {?}) + 2 red sox baseball games that included country tunes and line-dancing at the game!

this year, two of my girls lucked out with the cutest shirts from ‘one stitch at a time.’

alison, is a familiar link around here, because she used to be a sponsor for see jane blog. since i no longer have sponsors, i still love trading goods whenever possible! i created some new graphics for alison and her shop, and she created these darling-one-of-a-kind shirts for sela and myla

i still have a surprise coming in the mail for st.
