Eleanor, along with every other child, is obsessed with Frozen. She knows every word to every song. The soundtrack is on repeat in our car. She also knows every hand gesture, hair flip and stomp of the Let it Go scene. Elsa is her favorite, because "she has the powers". Like every other soon to be three year old she also knows what she wants and she wanted a Frozen Birthday party. I tried to talk her out of it, but it wasn't happening. There just isn't a very big variety of Frozen stuff and ...
CELEBRATE! Parties & Holidays
Hudson’s First Birthday
This week/weekend has been so crazy packed that I couldn't even fit into one post. Well, at least not one post anyone would read. Wednesday, the 16th Hudson turned 1!

For this project you will need: A science display board, a hot glue gun, cups (I used treat ...
For the Sake of the Children
When the Christmas decorations came down Eleanor was all about, what comes next? She was constantly asking to decorate. I didn't feel like decorating, but it just made the kids so darn happy that I couldn't help but share in their joy. Just a little.
