Happy May 1st! I've Gotten A Couple More #bulletjournal #weeklylayouts Done For The Month Of #May And

I made a DIY tutorial story on how to make an inexpensive side table for our #welliewishers clubhouse! ❤ let me know what you all think! #agwelliewishers #agdollhouse #agig #altagig #craftymama #joytoeverygirl #makerdreamerdoer #americangirl #diy

Yay! Book mail arrived today! I ordered The Sleeper and The Spindle, by Neil Gaiman, Stardust, also by Neil Gaiman (my first copy disappeared under mysterious circumstances several years ago when I was at University), and for a bit of fun I also ordered Doll Hangouts from @americangirlbrand American Girl Publishing. I read chapter books to Leocadia. She loves that she has to wait for each new chapter to find out where the story is going. Her favorite thus far has been Coraline, by Neil Gaiman, and once I'm finished reading that book, I shall read Stardust to her. After that, I'm going to introduce her to Madeline L'Engle and her Wrinkle in Time series. She doesn't mind if there are no pictures. She pays attention and asks questions when she doesn't understand something, and she always, always, wants me to read more. And that makes me a very happy mommy!❤

Well, nostalgia kicked me in the patoot today! I found some old photos from my senior photo shoot. I was 16 when they were taken and 17 when I graduated HS and then started college. I hope whomever decided making all the girls wear that horrid black faux velvet drape-thingy spends their afterlife being swathed in its uncomfortable confines for all of eternity, posing for the creepiest photographers imaginable. #sorrynotsorry #highschoolphotos #awkwardteenyears #thathairthough #schoolphotographers #fauxblackvelvet #iwantarefund

😍 I want this book so much....

No matter what project I'm working on (I have several right now, so please excuse the mess😨), Dollar always sits near me and chews on his beef bone. My #constantcompanion , he keeps my feet warm at night when he takes up the majority of my bed, he protects Leocadia, he scares coyotes away, and is a #spoiledrottendog But as soon as my brother comes home for a visit, Dollar quickly becomes his #bigpuppy Traitor. 🤣

Even in the Boston Children's Museum, we can't escape #cupsnotinthetrash 🙄

Here are some #closeups of the @nekobox.japan mini #yearoftheboar goodies 🦊💖🐗🍀 https://www.instagram.com/marcellafox/p/BuO5GFLnCC7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cfyzqbs9m12q

I had insomnia again last night, so I stayed up till 3 am and did some work. Needless to say, I didn't get up in time to take Leocadia to daycare. 😪🛏⏰😖☠ But here's the good news: The dollhouse Kitchen is finished!😄❤🦊 The rolling door works, there's plenty of room for the Leocadia and the dolls to play, and I am putting all other projects on hold until after the holiday season. I'll post more pics of the finished room soon. Right now, Leocadia is stocking it with all our doll kitchen stuff and food. She won't let me near it!😂 #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #ogdolls #ourgenerationdolls #mladolls #makerdreamerdoer #agdiy #dollhouse #handmadewithlove #farmlife #upallnightcrafting #ineedmorecoffee

My mum got my car stuck in mud up to the rims. And this was AFTER a huge rainstorm AND I had repeatedly told her the yard was flooded and to stay ON the gravel driveway, and NOT to go on the grass.😑 We're waiting on a tow truck to come get it out. While we're waiting, Leocadia decided to have some fun after all the rain we had this week. She loves jumping in muddy puddles!😄🌧 She's my personal rainbow every day🦊💖🌈 #muddypuddles #rain #rainbows #welliewishers #wellieboots #mykidisawesome #dontletmymomdriveacar #mycarisstuckinmud #thatfaceyoumakewhenyouresodone #farmlife

Leocadia had a little #homedepot love today! She got a free #homedepotpro hat and totally rocked it!🦊💖
