Frankenstorm/Sandy bracing ourselves…

Hello my digital friends. Mary here bringing you today’s post on what’s going on in my neck of the woods. If you are on the East Coast you know all about what we went through last year with the Nor’easter it really pummeled us. Snow in October, power outages, down trees. It was horrible. Two […]

For the love of Pinterest

Hi everyone – it is me Darla and I have to confess I LOVE PINTEREST! lol 🙂 I have always had the love of finding new things on the internet and google used to be my go to for anything that I needed. Computer turns on with a blue screen – just google the solution, […]

Taking Chances

Hi everyone! 🙂 Today I thought I’d write a bit about our new home… We made the super tough decision a few months ago to pack everyone up and move interstate to a small beachside town and have a bit of a fresh start…  I have lived my whole life in Brisbane city and never […]

Fall means Festivals…

One of my favorite things about the Fall season is all the cute little festivals and carnivals that are put on by the community, churches and schools. This year I got to help chair the first Fall Festival at my son’s school.  First, last spring we decided on a theme to help get the teachers […]

I <3 Fall Decorating

Happy Monday everyone! It’s me, Erin, here today to chat with you all about one of my favorite parts of fall – the decorating! I just love the colors – burgundy, yellow, orange, green, and aubergine. This year I’ve been a bit slow in getting my decorating out – I usually have everything out by the 1st of […]

The Land of Dora

Hey hey Sweet Shoppers! It’s Tronesia here with today’s post. Back in September, I had quite a time taking my daughter Aida to meet Dora and Diego. We stood in line for about an hour just for a quick photo with them. While we stood and waited…and waited… two ladies walked around with different animals […]

Birthday Boy

My baby turned 3 on Friday. Don’t you just love that third birthday? It’s the first time they are aware of what it means and yet they still don’t fully grasp the concept of time. This resulted in early awakenings every morning for an entire week at our house. Every morning between 5.30 and 6 […]

Boo-tiful Decorating

  Hello Sweet Shoppers, it’s Keely here today. In the states we’ve just entered the fall season. Where I live we’re still wearing shorts, high temps are in the 90’s and the leaves in the trees aren’t changing color unless they’re dying. However it does mean we’re getting close to Halloween, and I love Halloween. […]

A Rainy Day Activity

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 […]

Remembering September 11, 2001

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 […]

The Quest for Birthday Adventure

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 […]

Home Renovations Update

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 […]
