IHeartFaces Weekly Photo Challenge: A touch of SUN

September 19, 2011

I love this picture beacuse it was the dead of winter, but the sun finally peeked through the clouds for a few hours, during which we ran outside to enjoy it. R had a blast blowing bubbles and and looked cute too!

My Mugs!

September 19, 2011

I posted a while back about how painting pottery is a great activity for kid and the whole family!  Well, when we did this, it was when we were out of town in Houston, so I couldn’t bring our finished pieces back with us…but now I have them!

So I thought I would share:

This AMAZING first mug was made by the one and only R (with her daddy’s help…)

Isn’t it beautiful!?

And this second cup us mine =)

Inspired by all the amazing poppies we saw in Italy


I am loving drinking my coffee in them!

So check out a place near you and make some fun pottery for your house!
