My son likes ice cream. He gets it honest. His paternal Grandpa seriously likes ice cream, too. And his dad likes ice cream really well. My son likes to eat ice cream, but he also likes to fix up ice cream sundaes. And he is good at it. We tell him he should open an […]
Because It’s So Much Fun To Set A Pretty Table and I Love to Remember the Details
My sister-in-law recently had a birthday and we had a small celebration to celebrate her! 🙂 I’ve always enjoyed tea parties and setting a pretty table and fixing up little things for lunches and celebrations. One of the first parties I remember having was a Valentine Party when I was a young girl. Several of […]
Birthdays to Celebrate!
Since Renae and Tucker’s birthdays come very quickly after Christmas and since Ohio and Kansas aren’t next door neighbors, our Ohio grandparents have only been here for their birthdays a couple of times. Grandma hadn’t given them their birthday gifts yet, so when they and Emma were out, we decided to have an impromptu birthday […]
Of Teaparties and Good-byes
I really do love a tea party. I hadn’t hosted one for a good while and had thought a few times that it really would be fun to have one. Well, an opportunity presented itself and I knew I really wanted to make the time and effort to do this. {Apparently, REALLY, since I used […]
Lego Themes Birthday
Legos are pretty much Tucker’s main thing. He builds and builds and builds some more. He kept rolling around ideas and debating what he wanted to do for his birthday cake this year. He finally settled on “Lego Themes”. He simply set up a board with figures from a variety of themes that Lego […]

My kiddos have totally enjoyed decorating their own cakes the last three years. I totally enjoy letting them. I read somewhere about kids’ decorating their […]
Guest Book
Do you have a guest book in your home? We were given one as a wedding gift and I have loved having it and using it. I don’t always remember to get it out for people to sign. Sometimes if a gathering is fairly casual or impromptu, I don’t pull it out. But I love […]
A Week of Socializing
Hello to going places and to having company! In the last little-bit-over-a-week this family of introverts has had a fair amount of socializing. 🙂 Things always come in bunches it seems. We had supper with my husband’s brother and wife and baby, twice, we had a family get-together, spent Sunday a week ago at my […]
Teaparty Time {Hello Monday}
I have a few photos of the teaparty that I had when my mother and sister were here at Christmastime. It was very simple, but it is always fun to pull pretty dishes out of my china cupboard and use them. I could definitely enjoy operating a teahouse.{in my spare time 😉 } This teaparty […]
