journeys in parenting, crafting, and keeping up with the laundry...: Spring Fever

Already I have spring fever. I got a pair of these so I can join in the fun my girls have everyday.

While it's been bitter, frigid cold here and we haven't been outdoors as much as I'd like, the girls have been rollerskating throughout the house all day. Especially Ava, she wakes up and IMMEDIATELY puts on her roller skates. She takes them off for baths and when we run errands, the rest of the day they are on her feet. She goes up and down the stairs (makes me a little nervous) on her stoppers, but is getting pretty good, I must admit.

Now, I'm not trying to stick a feather in my cap, but back in the day, I was pretty good on a pair of these...so...watch out...

Here's my latest scrapbook pages. They both are using the Dozen's kit. Fab-u-lous...

Luckily he doesn't mind my lil moustache

we had gone to a Pirate themed party and I had a drawn-on moustache and small goat-tee. I LOVED it. Anytime I can have a moustache (not the real thing, horrifying) I do. Like when we are the 3 Fridas, fab-u-lous!

Coolest Field trip of all Times!

Our friend Ana (and Kristal and Erin) had given us a tour of the Free People design office where they are designers and we loved every minute of it (and the Anthropologie and Urban Oufitters offices, too.) McKaylah's dream of being a fashion designer was further fueled by miles of fringe, boxes of sequins and racks of fun and fab-u-lous clothes.

And this Lovebirds door hanger was inspired by Martha. She had the same little birds from Target and made a super cute sign. She's amazing! One of my favorite scrapbookers! (gush...)

Mine is made with a Hambly frames overlay, fabric backing, embroidery floss stitching and pink pom poms around the edges. I would have added more, but as usual my squirrel brain was onto other projects.

After 2 weeks of being away working, my hubby gets home tomorrow tonight. We've missed him so much! Hopefully we can get in date night. I'm craving mexican food, so maybe we can get that. Although, quite frankly, finding good Mexican here is hard. But the girls and I went with Matty to one of our favorite restaurants this past week. El Vez is so good (pricey, but good), located in downtown Philadelphia, if you have a chance, I highly recommend it, it's so choice. They even have an old dip-n-dunk photobooth. Yeah, $23 dollars later...yeah, we have photobooth problems...
