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 […]

The Yucky No Good Awful Day

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. […]

Netball sleepover chaos

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 […]

A Dish You Won’t have to Labor Over

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 […]

Get to know me: Mary :)

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 […]
