I was reminded of Karli’s post about surprises yesterday when DY Dad and Laylee got back from shopping for my Christmas presents.
In the past, I have enjoyed giving him a hard time by asking Laylee what they bought me as soon as they got back from buying my birthday and Christmas surprises. She was always [...]
BlackBird, please don’t give me a tardy!
I don’t remember when I got hooked on Show and Tell, probably 2nd grade, but I love it and I can’t stop. It is my bedtime, but I couldn’t go to sleep until I posted this. I don’t want to get in trouble. Here are my ordaments (second grade [...]
So, if you want more info on the Un-Scrapbooks, contact my friend Carrie by email. They’re selling in several countries right now but only in a few cities here in the US. The brand name is Baysics and the website should be up soon. I’ll let you know. Carrie can send you a catalog if [...]

So, in honor of [...]
I haven’t done laundry in a while. I usually have a regular laundry day but the problem is, we have way too much underwear lately so I’ve been able to put it off a little longer than usual.
We’re down to the almost-too-tight jeans, the makes-me-look-fat t-shirts (not because I am, just because they’re poorly designed, [...]
Here are a few of my favorite Holiday Traditions:
Thanksgiving – Get a big white tablecloth and have everyone use fabric markers to write or draw a picture of a few things they’re thankful for each year. Then, every time you sit down to Thanksgiving dinner, you get to read the things people have [...]
I’ve had requests to publish my Dad’s Seven Sevens and he kindly gave me permission. He is the best dad in the world and I love him dearly. (Interspersed are pictures of a few of the things he’s made for our family in his workshop.)
Seven Things I want to do before I die:
1. Have a [...]
There has been a lot of moisture, mostly in the form of tears, around the Daring Young household the past several days.
