Longwood Gardens Eye Candy.
One of the best things about being a full-time mom is the flexibility to get out and do things during the weekday. Evie and I went to one of our favorite places, Longwood Gardens, on Wednesday. We are fortunate enough to live a little less than 20 minutes away. We try to get there often, [...]
Soak Up The Fun.
Hello, May! The weather in Southeastern PA has been glorious the past few days. Fall is my favorite season, but give me a bright, sunny day when I can be outside and not drip with sweat and I’ll be equally as happy. I’m in total denial that Mother Nature will be turnin’ up the heat [...]
Toy Review: B. Pop-Arty!

Wasn’t I Just Making Christmas Cards??
Aye. But now, it’s time to get cracking on Valentines! We’re going to try making our own crayons for Evie’s classmates and playgroup friends. I saw some pretty simple instructions on Pinterest a long time ago and we’ve been harboring spurned crayon bits in a Ziploc bag in our pantry ever since. I’ll attach the [...]
Instant Gratification with Instagram.
I recently got an iPad and am just loving it. My favorite app, hands-down, is Instagram. Instagram allows users to take pictures with their device, apply an awesome filter (there are 18 to choose from!), and share. Instagram photos can be shared immediately to Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, and automatically go into the user’s Instagram [...]
