Is it just me, or does it seem mermaids have gained in popularity over the last couple of years? Maybe they’ve remained popular and I just missed it because I have three boys… There seems to be an influx of mermaid-related products – from lunchboxes to swimming gear and everything in between. Even my 5-year-old son… Continue reading Making a splash
After a hiatus from blogging (life just gets in the way sometimes), I’m happy to add a few new projects. Writing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

But, I always get excited when a friend… Continue reading Foxy, Fun Fabrics (& baby washcloths)
