Yo, Peeps!

There are signs that a change is a-coming. A new wind is blowing - a fresh perspective is inevitable. Creativity has been hard to come by lately, but the last day or two has brought it out in unexpected ways...


For J's Easter party at school...Peeps cupcake baskets with jelly bean eggs. The licorice handles just didn't work. And who likes licorice, anyway?


A new spring-color-palette-inspired sewn paper mobile to replace the paper snowflake mobile from Christmastime.

Hope of the warmth to come has come out lately, too...


In lightning fast bicycles ridden around the neighborhood lake...


In tiny seeds dropped into planting pods...


In the determination and strength it takes to conquer monkey bars for THE VERY FIRST TIME EVER. And yes. I did remember my camera. Smug mama look...

Oh. My. It's almost here. The green is coming back. The trees are whispering it to the wind. The frogs are talking about it in the pond. I overheard them today. They say..."not long now. don't give up."
