Roll back the cruel curtain of winter, ladies and gents, and kindly make room for Noah the Great and Madeline the Marvelous. Here is a true account of their feats to date. First up are Chickens Daringly Defying Gravity!

Next up, Dashing Disguises. You may recognize the Hottie from TopGun and also Blue/White Collar Confusion Boy/Man.

Hot on their trail is Bunny Bellie!! (Special thanks to Gram Gram and Pop Pop, who made this trick possible.)

Please hold on to your hats for the fantastic finale, Puppets Galore!!!

That's All Folks!

Some of you may know that I've had a lull in my sewing projects because of a non-functioning machine, but those days are finally over. Grandma B. was kind enough to lend me a machine she picked up at a garage sale a while back, and once I figured out through an online diagram how to load the front loading bobbin, (which took a sizable amount of tries) I was all set. So here are some photos of the finished projects. I've been focusing on grocery totes and bags so that I can reduce the amount of plastic that our household uses. PS. I still have tons of ideas in my head and material to reuse in my closet for more.

Check out this awesome video of Noah and Madeline!

Noah, while usually very camera shy, was eager to sport his MC Hammer dance. Madeline, too, was eager to show off her pipes.

It felt like 70 degrees outside today. If you are one like me who had forgotten what that means, it means; it is warm enough to go outside without a jacket, or gloves or scarves, or boots. It is warm enough to go out in a skirt or shorts. It is warm enough to turn off the heat in the car and manually roll down all the windows. That also means its atmospherically pleasant enough to try and cross the monkey bars in order to impress certain toddleheads I know. Of course, my bones didn't get the memo so they're creaking now, particularly around the pulled section of my neck. Always warm up first. You'd think I would have thought of that.

I'm sick yet again. That's four times in the past 5 weeks.



The title pretty much covers the basis for this blog post, but in case any of you go searching for the perfect sore throat remedy, you won't find Get Better Bears. Not in stores. Not online.

Its been almost five years since I had my first grape flavored sore throat sucker that worked miracles for my laryngitis, but I have never forgotten. I will never forget. Come back Get Better Bears. Come back.
