Miss Cakes, our 3-yr-old is going through a princess phase. She loves all things princess. Her favorite Disney princess is Snow White, so she dressed as Snow White for halloween. For Christmas, she asked for everything Snow White. Most of what she received for Christmas gifts was Snow White. Somewhere between Christmas & the first…

The forehead fuzz
Tonight at dinner, my husband informed me that I had a piece of fuzz or something on my forehead. I brushed my hand across my forehead and asked if I got it. To which my husband replied, “Yes.” Fast forward an hour… I walk into the bathroom & glance in the mirror, as I’m washing…
Stop Motion Video: The Joy of Books
I love stop motion videos. As I watch them, I like to think about the work that had to go into filming them. This dancing books video from Sean Ohlenkamp and wife, makes my head hurt thinking about all they had to do & how long it took them to move books for just one…
Do The Mario! {Jitterbug Style}
Swing your hands from side to side, come on, it’s time to go. Do the Mario! Remember that bad dance at the beginning of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show? If you need a reminder, you can catch the episodes on Hulu. [My kids love watching it.] Well, apparently, Mario & Luigi have had some…
Move, Learn, Eat
I’m still in the process of moving to a new host [hope to finish this weekend], but I wanted to share this video series from Australian indie filmmaker, Rick Mereki, with you. It features actor Andrew Lees, moving, eating, learning [and playing] through 11 countries. You can find the videos and more details about them…

Busy Busy Busy
My kids aren’t even in school yet, and summer seems to be the busiest time for us. Or maybe, life is just busy once you have four kids. Maybe it’s a combination of summer & four kids. Either way, I haven’t had a chance to post since our fourth little bundle of joy arrived. In…
Five Years Ago…
…I married the man of my dreams. Our story, however, actually began 11 1/2 years ago. I really like telling our story, because it feels surreal – like a fictional book I would have on my bookshelf. It involves a boy admiring a girl from afar, and a girl admiring a boy from afar. Boy…
the family manager creed
The other day, I picked up a few books at Barnes & Noble. I’m so excited to dive into them, and I just started reading “The Busy Mom’s Guide To A Happy Organized Home” by Kathy Peel. I’m still in the Introduction, but I came across something I have to share with you. The author has…
Miss Cakes :: three years of fun, love & attitude
A few weeks ago, I posted about my oldest turning four. Well, the day after that post my middle child turned three – and yes, I’m just now getting around to posting about it. Three years ago, I had one of the scariest things happen to me (even scarier than when I was mugged at…
