Mini cuteness...


Isn't this the sweetest little bunting?



You can find  it here .



It's a free printable!   (Allsorts, the cheery little blog of Jenny B Harris).



How darling would this be on a birthday cake!

I'll be making a few of these for upcoming patriotic crafting projects. Now that it's the weekend, I can send my  two girls downstairs to retrieve crafting supplies!

Woo hoo!

Something sweet...

I made a strawberry/apple pie this week.
Picture your regular apple pie recipe.
And add strawberries on top.

It was a fantastic combination flavors.

For a "little extra" sweetness,
I sprinkled cinnamon sugar
on the pie crust before baking.


My mother and grandmother used to bake the extra pie crust strips and dust them with cinnamon sugar. It was a special treat.

In case you're wondering, I found these
"free" flavored sugar labels here.




Have a sweet weekend!

Guests at the treehouse...

Emma and her friends agree that studying for algebra is much more tolerable when done in the treehouse.

We also have a new resident
at our treehouse.

Chris surprised me with him when we
went to Frankenmuth.

I think he likes his new dwelling.

And in case you missed it last year,
my special friend Lee from Small Enchantments
gave us this sweet fairy door for our treehouse.

PS. I can't take any credit for these photos.
I'm still limited in putting weight on my left foot.
Chris has been my outdoor photographer lately.
Thank you, honey!

Creekside adventures...

I was cleaning off the memory card and came across some pictures that were taken a few months ago when Chris took the girls on a long walk behind our house.

Consumer's Energy owns the land behind our home and it's fairly undeveloped. If you were to walk past our treehouse, beyond our vegetable garden and out a few acres, this is what you would see.

Our subdivision is actually named after a creek that runs behind our property.

I can't wait to see what this creek looks like during the summer months.


It might even be picnic worthy!

A special oasis...

Emma has always enjoyed reading.

She's enjoying it even more in her
private reading nook.

Her bedroom windowseat now includes cozy curtains.

A special oasis...

...except when her parents decide to
invade with a camera.
