Not so Foxy...


The other morning I was looking out my kitchen window and noticed a beautiful little red fox in our backyard. It was so pretty and I called the kids over to look at it. It pranced lightly up to the middle of our yard...looked up at a bird...and then pooped! In an instant we went from "Awww" to EwwwWWW!


Now I'm thinking of two weeks prior when my little girl was rolling down the hill as kids usually do in the summer AND my oldest son who ran out back barefoot to join her.

I'm either going to have to not let my kids roll down the hill or pick a section of the yard and inspect it before letting them roll down.

I never thought of these things before. Before this the only thing I worried about with the kids playing in the grass are ticks. Am I the only one who never thought of this type of situation?

Have a great night :)

Staying put afterall...




OK, after packing up 85% of our home...our move to beautiful Doylestown, PA has fallen through. The people buying our house went with a less than reputable lender and never came through with the mortgage. The owners of the home we had a contract on didn't want to wait for us anymore so resold their house to someone else (who could blame them). 

Now, I am home with the kids and unpacking the boxes to the point where our home looks like a home again. Some things will remain packed as we may try to sell again next year. Also, I would love to have a yard sale to get rid of all the extra things we have and don't need. I cannot believe how many unnecessary things we have even after making numerous trips to donate items to the thrift store! 

I am looking forward to getting more Personalized Labels and artwork on ETSY once I unpack and set up my studio again.

Have a fantastic summer :)
