A Little Link Love

Have you heard of Ciao Bella? It's a wonderful brand of gelato and sorbet that I have recently discovered. As I type this I am enjoying a cup of Blackberry Cabernet Sorbet. It's so rich and smooth, I have never tasted anything quite like it. Yum!

This is such a great idea for keeping mementos from vacations and trips. I have never been one for scrapbooking although I like the idea of holding on to more than just pictures. -From The Inspired Room

This video clip of a musician explaining why he hates Pachelbel's Canon is hilarious. - Hat Tip: Many Little Blessings

What a sweet idea for a way to celebrate one of Juliana's Patron saints, St. Rose of Lima. I am excited to find ideas for Addie and Gabe as well (St. Irene and St. Gabriel.) - From Catholic Cuisine

Are you thinking about fall yet? This is my favorite season if for no other reason than the smells; burning leaves, pumpkin pies and all things apple and spice. I can just imagine how wonderful this garland would smell and it's easy enough to be an afternoon craft the kids could help with. Well, ok, by help I mean mush dough in their fingers and slap cutouts on it repeatedly. But they would certainly enjoy it. -From Skip To My Lou

Mall Fun

We've made a few trips recently to malls in our area to get out of the house and let the kids run amok in some great play areas. All these pieces are essentially large, spongy cushions so they climb up everything and jump off; everything they can't do at home. :)

Cool Kids

Pint-sized furniture

Mom picked up this table and chairs set for us the last time she was up at IKEA. Dad took it home, stained it and put on some polyurethane. The result is gorgeous and functional. The kids love having their own place to read and draw. Now if we can just get them to stop using it as a personal launch pad....
