Change is in the Air!

And some new fun has come to our newsletter!

From the leaves to the temperature, change is a comin'.  I am finally feeling like we are back in the swing of things.  Homework is getting done, football practice is happening and the leaves are changing.  I love fall!  I love the change of temperatures.  I love the beautiful colors.  I love being able to wear a hoodie!!  I love being able to pull on a sweater or a hoodie. 

I really don't remember Fall being so busy, but I feel like there is never enough time to get ...


Fashion Playtes

As a mom of three boys, fashion is not a big concern in our house, at least outside of myself.  But when I heard about the Fashion Playtes website it was once again a reminder of how much I always wanted a little girl to play dress up with.  Below is a brief article that Joyce wrote about her families experience with fashionplaytes.com.

It Is Time to Get Back on Track

Survive the Seven Perils of the Amazon

Visit Amazon Voyage: Vicious Fishes & Other Riches at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science

I am so excited to have the opportunity to check out the newest exhibit to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science "Amazon Voyage: Vicious Fishes & Other Riches" tonight.  I am a bit of a museum junkie.  I love going and getting lost in other lands and other times.  I can wander around for hours by myself, not that I have the opportunity to do so as a mom of three, but I still dream about it.  My museum trips these days usually consist of talking about dinosaurs and planets ...

The Thrill of the Hunt:

True confessions of a thrit-store addict

I will admit it: I am a thrift-store junkie. And ever since the advent of Craig’s List, it’s gotten even worse. There was the vintage leather briefcase I scored for $2.99. And the silver plated serving spoons for a buck.
The cloisonné bracelet, the WWII-era wool dress coat, countless paperbacks for

machine I netted for $50, new and unopened!

Early in my thrift store hunting career, for every great coup ...
