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…
Server Move in Progress…
I’ve had some issues with my hosting provider, so I am in the middle of transferring my sites and content over to the new web host. Please bear with me during this transfer, as there may be some moments when this blog is down. However, I’m hoping that with this transfer, we won’t have any…
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

oops!
For the last week, I’ve been really busy with running specials at my graphic & web design business. And I started working for one of my clients as a Virtual Assistant. I’ve been so busy, that I actually let this domain expire. And then it took me a couple days to get it renewed &…
what a week!
If you couldn’t tell, I was in a really goofy mood this week. I can’t explain it. I just get that way sometimes. {Okay, my husband would tell you I’m goofy a lot.} But I think having kids {and more responsibility} has made me a more serious person, and less goofy. I used to get…
not exactly the fountain of youth
I like pigtails. They make me feel youthful & energized. I also like to wear my “toning” tennis shoes from Target around the house, because they give me energy. It may be all in my head. But when all else fails, there’s always caffeine!
craving the quiet
photo by ell brown. I enjoy moments of peace and solitude, as those are very rare around here. In fact, I crave them. And if I don’t start my day with quiet time before the kids wake, I find myself irritable and grouchy. So I’ve started waking up earlier, to insure I get an hour…
