Brush, Brush Your Teeth

Ms. A had her first official visit to the dentist. She's been watching Reed and I during our visits, but yesterday was her turn in the dentist's chair. She wasn't too excited, she wanted her teeth checked at Reed's appointment.

She did a great job! She was very excited to count her teeth. She loves her Princess toothbrush. When we came home, she went straight upstairs and started to floss and brush her teeth.

Kristina's 43rd Color Challenge

Have you ever had one of those moments of unexpected inspiration? That's what happened today when I revisited Ms. Werner's site. She has a new Color Challenge that I loved the colors (Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, Pumpkin Pie, Brocade Blue and Old Olive), but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it.

I have another project that's taken my focus, so I decided to not participate this time. Suddenly, this card popped into my head. Isn't she lovely. She's from Stampin' Up's Build-a Fairytale die cut set.

I've been playing with castles and put her aside, but today she was pulled out. :)

Is SPRING here?

I have been aching for Spring to come. No more snow or gray clouds, I want flowers blossoming, trees budding, birds chirping and some blue skies!

On Friday, I saw a glimpse of spring!

The skies were blue,
the birds chirping

and a few tulips bursting through the ground.




I was ecstatic! Ms. A and I decided to celebrate with a trip to one of our favorite stores - HOME DEPOT.

We purchased a Heather bush and rushed home to plant it. It felt wonderful to get my hands dirty (gardening used to be torture, but now I love it!). Ms. A got into the swing of things as well. She had a blast digging in the dirt with her spade. :) After our gardening, we had a picnic on the front lawn. YUM! I felt rejuvenated and refreshed.

Now back to the rain..... :)

What a Lucky Mom

Reed has a dentist appointment today, when I asked Ms. A if she wanted to go, she quickly responded with “Can I get my teeth checked? I think it would be a good thing to do.”

I {heart} our dentist. He and his staff are great!!

Now if we can keep that attitude! :)

Thanks and Love

I've had a few creative moments lately thanks to Ms. K. I love this Valentine card, so I had to purchase the heart punches so I could play along. I {HEART} my new punches, now to find them a new home. :)









I loved playing with this color challenge from a few weeks ago.
My creative side loves this color combo and I had to make another card.

Lost 'Glass' Slippers

Ms. A received a Treasure Chest full of dress up clothes for Christmas. It has been her favorite present to play with. Every day her Cinderella dress comes out and she tries to wear it everywhere. Yes, Princesses go to Target, the library, friends' homes and sometimes, even WinCo.

The past week or so, she has added a new way to play. I will find one slipper mysteriously laying on the stairs, when questioned Princess A responds: "Cinderella lost her slipper on the stairs." When I asked who was going to pick it up, she responded, "My Prince." Then she flits over somewhere to continue her play. I love watching our little princess.
