I’ve had to give up on a lot of good intentions in this motherhood experience of mine, but one that I’ve clung to is sending lunch to school in an adorable and ecofriendly lunchbag. Now that Atti goes to school…
A Place for All Those Little Pieces
Don’t you wish every toy came with a carrying case? I finally had enough and decided to make my own. At Atti’s birthday party a couple of months ago, he got a bunch of really cool presents that have been…
Vinyl Splashmat
Man, kids make such a mess. It’s almost worth getting a dog just to clean up the mess left on the floor. 3 years into Atti’s little life, and I’m just now addressing the mess he makes at food time.…

Summer Projects
Atti’s slowly but surely gaining enough mobility that we can start to hang out in our little backyard now. We splurged on a fancy exersaucer knowing that he’s going to be spending a lot of time in there while he…
