I am always looking for new activities to do with my kids on those rainy days, or times when they are bored and are trying to find something to do. I pull this one out every now and then because 1) it is super easy 2) it isn’t too messy and 3) it keeps them […]
Hello Sweet Shoppe dwellers. Yari here today to bring you a special blog post honoring September 11, 2001 and all that happened on that day. I am not going to lie, this was rather difficult for me to do. Tears filled my eyes and my heart was taken away in emotion several times as I […]
Birthdays are always something I’ve tried to make very special for my daughters. I love to celebrate each of them individually to show my kids how special they are to me. For the past four years we have hosted my youngest daughter’s, Hannah, birthday party at our house during Labor Day weekend. We generally […]
Well, I know during the spring I shared that we were going to use our tax refund to remodel the main floor of our house on a very tight DIYer budget… we had found some kitchen cabinets at the Habitat for Humanity Restore and that was probably the biggest chore for us was piecing them […]
So, here I am… it’s my day to blog and I’m recovering from a red-eye flight last night from Idaho to Florida. I grabbed a grand total of 2 hours of sleep last night in the sitting position. Now I’m here, still a bit foggy, with a 4:25 pm cup of coffee in my hands. […]
This year my 8 yr old decided to take up netball at school for the first time. Brooke did amazingly well for a first timer, and by mid-season, had become the star goalshooter (insert proud mummy smile). I think part of the reason she enjoyed it so much was the fact that all her friends […]
Hello, everyone!! It’s Rebecca here today… In the States, today is Labor Day… a federal holiday, dating back to 1894, to “celebrate the economic and social contributions of workers.” (thank you, wikipedia, :)) I think most of us see it as the unofficial end of summer… a paid day off from work… a day to […]
I decided to take a fun spin on the Get to know me video’s in the Forum. My intentions were real, I swear. I was going to post the video after recording it like 5x’s. LOL I decided eghhhh it’s not going to happen so I’ll ask myself some of the questions asked and post […]
Hi Sweet Shoppers, it’s Keely. It’s the last day before the kids go off to school and I think that calls for a little pampering before the chaos ensues. My oldest daughter and I are big fans of kitchen beauty so for our session we’re heading to the kitchen. Over many years I’ve found that […]
Hello friends!! Today I’m going to talk about something that’s going on with our family. We have a very close family. We live on the same block as my in-laws. I never thought that would happen, but honestly it is awesome. They really respect our space and our girls have a set of grandparents within […]
Hi everyone! This is Jacq bringing you today’s sweet shoppe post. My eldest daughter will be in elementary school next year thus she needs to bring lunch at school. So now I am doing lots of research online on how to prepare easy and appetizing lunch for her, she is a picky eater so making […]
Hello, my fellow sweet shoppe friends… Rebecca here with today’s post, titled – What Was I Thinking? hahaha… When I told my plan to the SSD Babes and Designers (and the reason why I was going to be scarce for a few days)… they all told me I was nuts! Many of you probably remember […]
