Most of the rooms in our home are lived in. Our office, however, has become an avoidance issue. With neither my husband nor myself regularly working from home, the kids now working in their bedrooms, and the desktop computer having been rendered all but obsolete, its only purpose has been that of storage. Until recently. My husband had to take a video conference call from home one day and no matter where he attempted to place his laptop in the room, there was a mountain (or more aptly a landslide) of stuff behind him, in the shot. It was dark, messy, and depressing. So, we’re undertaking an office overhaul – in pieces, to be delivered to you the same way. (more…)
If you are looking for quick, last minute DIY kids’ Mother’s Day gifts, we’ve got you covered! (And yes, we get that most of you reading this blog are of the female persuasion and probably mothers yourself – so ladies – this is one you can go ahead and forward to your hubbies to help them get it done 😉).
Hey Dads, Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 14th. Here are three fast and simple ideas your kids can do to put a smile on mom’s face. You’re welcome.
Facts and Figures
The Brimfield Antique Show in Brimfield, Mass, an hour west of Boston, is the country’s largest outdoor show of its kind. It spans some 20 acres, with tents housing an estimated 6,000 vendors, to which another 200,000 antique and flea market enthusiasts flock. It is nothing short of spectacular!
It began in 1959 and has run annually since, offering three opportunities to catch the show: May, July and September. The event always runs Tuesday to Sunday, in freezing rain or sweltering sunshine. I have been there in each and have never come away disappointed. (more…)
Mother’s Day is right around the corner on Sunday, May 14th. As a mother and someone fortunate enough to still have my own, I look forward to this day each year. It’s a fun time to get together with family and let the kids do the waiting on and cleaning up (sort of!) and generally be the one who is taken care of instead of the one doing the care-taking.
With thoughts of all the good that moms bring to the world, we’ve created a sweet and free Mother’s Day print to share with the mom or mom figure in your life. (more…)
