valentine's day redux


we made heart shaped crayons for valentine's day
a fun and easy project
find out how to make em here
(i suggest the silicone molds. they pop out so easily)

night snow(wo)man + walk


the little one's nap stretched to 5:00
when she woke up she peeled out of bed to throw on her snow gear
i had promised her we'd make a snowman

after we made our snowman (ahem, she corrected, snowWOman)
we walked to the end of our street to ogle a massive snow pyramid made by neighborhood kiddos

magical night

snow desserts


today we had an all-day snow storm
we gathered fresh snow and made frozen desserts by topping it with maple syrup, soy cream and sugar, and chocolate soymilk (seperately)...mmmm

cake dress



how gorgeously yummy/yummily gorgeous is this?
made by Lukka Sigurdardottir
from gather and nest
