...And We're Back! {With Lots of Pictures}

Well, after a very long hiatus from the blogosphere, we're finally back up and running.  The holidays kept us insanely busy, and sales in my Etsy shop kept me working constantly.  So, in order to enjoy time with family during this special time of year and still stay on top of things, I decided to slow things down on the blog for a time.

I have a lot of great things in the works for the upcoming year here on the blog, so I hope you'll follow along with me!  For now though, here are just a few snapshots of the last month in our world:

Merry Christmas!

We went to Tiny World, a local attraction set up by a retired gentleman and his family.  My parents brought me here when I was a child, so this was pretty special for me to be able to take my son!

Ok, eating blackberries in the grocery store has nothing to do with the holidays, but how adorable is Charlie in that hat!?

We spent a lot of time reading....

... and made a bunch of homemade Christmas gifts!  (Photos will come when they've all been opened!)

Charlie wore himself out plenty of times!  Christmas is a busy time!

We made (and ate) tons of Christmas goodies!

Charlie opened lots of awesome presents from Mimi and Papi!

We headed down to Grandma and Grandpa's and did some "hanging out."

We got in a playground adventure before the snow came.

We made Charlie's first snowman!

Then we opened more gifts!

Charlie and Grandpa built some block towers.

Charlie made his first snowball.....

.... and caught his first tongue snowflakes....

... and made his first snow angel...

... and went sledding for the first time!

 I hope your holiday season was as memorable as ours!  Here's to a bright and happy 2013!  Stay tuned for all kinds of great toddler activities, DIY projects, recipes, product reviews, fun events, guest posts, and my big focus this year: DIY House Reno/Redo! :)
