As I have mentioned before, I love Harry Potter. We read chapter books with the big kids every night, and they finally agreed to read the Harry Potter series a few months ago. And now they too have become fans of that little boy wizard. When I asked Claire what theme she wanted for her birthday, her Read More
Harry Potter Party
Friday Favorites
This week was a flurry of nonstop activity. I finished up a tiny little project I was working on, we celebrated Claire’s birthday, and we just had a whole lot of summer living going on. So while my house may look like a small family of raccoons has taken up residence inside, it’s just going to have Read More
