Tweet As you know, we decided to spruce up Esther and Astrid’s room a bit when we took Astrid’s crib down, bought some bunk-beds and now wanted to personalized Esther’s space a bit. She loves sleeping in the top bunk – but wanted a nightlight or something so it wasn’t so far away and dark…
Tweet We just redecorated Esther and Astrid’s bedroom this past year. Esther was involved in all the planning – the color choices, the bedding, the pictures, the entire feel of the room.

Tweet Hi, My name is Tracy and I get the nervous shakes when I enter Michaels, get angry at the daily emails from Martha Stewart, hide under the table when my kids say ‘hey Mom let’s do a craft’ and generally spit fire if I see glitter within a two mile radius. You may…
Tweet You know what I like about Winter in Minnesota? I like that it’s usually too cold to go on long walks and hang out outside watching the 100′s of dogs walk by with their owners. In the Summertime it’s all “OMG he’s so cute” “Oh Mom we need a dog!” “Look at this little…

Tweet I’m traveling to a large blog conference tomorrow and if there is one thing I always stress about packing – it’s my contacts and glasses. Will my contacts get too dry on the plane? Should I pack an extra pair in my carry-on as well as my suitcase? Should I just wear my glasses…

Tweet It’s no secret that I love the cold. I love the snow. I love when it’s below zero. I even love with my nose hairs freeze. WOOT! And when people from the South complain about the cold I just kindly remind them that it’s a “dry cold” you know kind of like when…
