Happy Birthday Miss Petrie Deux

How can my “baby” be 3??  Miss PD is amazingly energetic, funny, and inquisitive. I like to joke that Miss PD is a puppy housed in a human’s body.  She loves to run and jump and dance.  She whistles to songs on the radio.  She gets up from the table while we’re eating a meal [...]

Miss Petrie Turns 7 (!)

I can hardly believe my girl is seven.  She is getting so big and passing so many milestones, I feel like if I blink I will miss something. We had a weekend of celebration, starting with a new desk for her room.  It’s a tiny writing desk.  Unfortunately, it’s a yucky golden pine color, but [...]

The Lion King and Growing Pains

Miss Petrie and I went to see The Lion King last weekend.  It was spectacular!  I couldn’t take any pictures during the show, but the costumes, puppetry, and singing were breathtaking. Miss Petrie has been growing like a weed the past few months!  I bought her school pants in July, by September they didn’t fit [...]

Tooth Fairy Money

Miss Petrie lost a tooth last week and I remembered a cool idea from Pinterest called Tooth Fairy Money.  You spray a dollar bill with hair spray then sprinkle glitter over the money.  The picture I saw was so pretty and fun. Then I did my version with non-aerosol hair gel and pink glitter.  Poor [...]

Pictures in the Park

It’s been a few months since I took the girls for pictures.  Instead of heading to the portrait studio, I thought I’d take the girls outside to photograph them in the splendor of summer.  It took some coaxing of the littlest Petrie… …but eventually I did get some better pictures.  I took about 100 photos, [...]

Visiting Elmo

We met friends at a local playroom last week and Elmo surprised us with a visit.  Elmo is really for toddlers, but both my girls seemed to enjoy seeing Elmo and posing for pictures with him. Miss Petrie and her friend loved taking photos with Elmo.  It was pretty cute to see them go from [...]

A Soapy Science Experiment

  Did you know if you microwave Ivory soap it turns into a big cloud of soap?  It does and it is awesome.  But after you do it three times, you have tons of flaky soap that you don’t want to waste, right?!  The girls each had a bowl of soap with red food coloring [...]

New Bike

Miss Petrie got a new bike!  I have hopes that we can hit the track in the morning before it gets too hot. Keep on riding.

Grumpy Girl

Miss Petrie Deux gets tired when we’re doing yard work.  She makes her tired, grumpy face.  I wish I looked so cute when I’m tired! Have a great day.

Old Made New With Cleaning

When I buy new things, I generally run a quick cost per use analysis.  All this means is that I figure out how many times I will use the object and how much it will cost each time I use it.  (Is that crazy?  I don’t think so, but…)  Anyway, I had thought I would [...]
