Welcome to
{wow me} wednesday!
So glad YOU are here!
Next week is kind of BIG for little ole’ me!
My blog went live on Monday, April 4, 2011.
(You can see my first post here.)
April 4th this year falls on a Wednesday,
so I thought it would be fun to celebrate in a BIG way.
My friend, Jaime Lyn from over at Crafty Scrappy Happy
did this for her blog birthday, & I thought it would be fun to do it, too.
Thank you, Jaime for the idea!
So here it is NEXT week for {wow me} wednesday
I would LOVE to have a few (or a BUNCH!!) of YOU co-host with me.
Sound fun?? This is how it will work.
Each one of my three boys
have at one time in their lives
been obsessed with dinosaurs! {{{Roar!}}}
So each of them has had a version of
this {cute & easy} dinosaur birthday cake!
Well, I’m ending this spring break week with a spring tutorial.
I showed you this wreath last week when
I revealed my mini-living room makeover.
I love the fresh pop of color it gives my living room mantel.
It was super easy to make, too. Yay!

Embroidery Hoop Name Art from The Brilliant Crafty Type
As most of you know by now our family
has been enjoying Spring Break this week.
This year we are sticking close to home,
& it has actually has been kind of nice & relaxing.
I did have a few fun activities planned
for the kiddos to keep them busy.
One of them was hosting a Spring Fling party at our house. Yay!
Lots of talk about Spring on the blog this week!
Here’s some pictures from my front flower beds.
Most of these flowers were planted last spring & fall,
so I’m super excited that most of them came back & look so pretty!
{I seriously use to kill every plant I tried to grow!}
I finally learned that plants do much better if you don’t forget to water them!
Enjoy!

So far our spring break has been fabulous! Yay!
Today’s fun activity was a Spring Fling at our house.
We had tons of fun outside activities
planned for the 20+ kiddos we had invited.
Mother Nature had other plans…..
it was pouring down rain this morning! Yikes!
We were able to adjust our plans,
& it ended up being a lot of fun.
I’ll share pictures on Friday.

of never had this opportunity.
So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Good plan because it turned out to be an absolutely beautiful day. Yay!
We always plant a garden, & we have tons of flowers in our front flower beds.

The weather has been gorgeous this week.
Absolutely amazing! Time to for spring
& all the adorable clothes that come with it! Yay!
Easter comes early this year, too (April 8th!)
So it’s time to do some Easter clothes shopping, too.
I recently found a great place to buy clothes for the kiddos!
Hartstrings has a wonderful website full of causal clothes,
dress clothes and play clothes…even cute little swimsuits.
Just check out these new arrivals for spring!
Some of you might remember when
I was super excited to get my new Silhouette Cameo.
I had so many projects & ideas! Like this & this. I couldn’t wait to get started! :)
Well, unknown to me my 2 year old, Cole, had BIG plans for my Cameo, too! Ummm…not good!
Just a little background on my little Cole-Man. He is extremely busy! Always into something.
Like the time he put Vaseline in his hair…yep, his hair was sticking up like that for a couple of days until the Vaseline finally wore off. Then there was the time he put lotion all over his forehead, and the many, many times he has colored himself with markers. Do you see a pattern???
Yes, usually he is doing crazy things to himself…buuuuuut that would soon change. Yikes!
It’s my favorite day of the week…I get to feature some of YOU! Yay!
