what's new

our garden

We just started a garden. Part of it will hopefully be used as a new pen for our rabbit, Honey, so he can hop outside in fresh air. :)

how could you not think he's the sweetest little bunny ever?!


bailey's new wig


Remember Bailey? If you don't, she's a doll I "rescued" from Craigslist over a year ago. Her hair was a mess, her limbs were loose, one eye was silver. There was the number "4" written on her foot with a permanent marker (which I rubbed acne cream on...it eventually faded, and now you can't even tell it was there!).

Anyway, we stopped at a doll store last Friday (with Bailey) and picked up a blond wig to see if it would fit her. Miraculously, it did, and I bought it for only about $15. It was normally $25, but the store was going out of business, and so we got a discount. Here are some pictures of her new hair.

ps. I'm thinking about renaming her Autumn..what do you think?

spring :)

I know this is kind of weird, but I've never really liked spring. Maybe it's because that's when it always gets hot where we live (yes, it gets hot before summer). But I don't really mind the weather, and I do like spring break. (:

...Just curious. ;)

thinking

This is going to sound so cliche. Ignore how it sounds, please. 'Cause even I know I'm probably going to think "ugh. cheesy." when I read what I'm about to write. 

You know what I was just thinking about? How we take small, ordinary things for granted. I know this is really cliche, but it's true. I think that we all take something simple, such as small acts of kindness from our family members, for granted. It's so easy to take things for granted, but without those things think of how different life would be. Just think for a minute. Those small moments, maybe not as...perfect as you'd like them to  be, but they were still there. And they matter. Even just jumping on the trampoline with your siblings, or browsing through bookshelves at the library and finding what you were looking for. That feeling you get when you first gaze into the cover of a book you're itching to read. Small(er) moments are special. I don't ever want to forget them. :)
