For about half of her life, Lili has been taking art classes. She’s been fortunate to learn under some good teachers, but there is one who has stood above the rest. Ms. Lina (as she is known to Lili), moved from Texas to Sarasota this past year and opened her own art studio. So afterContinue reading “Surprise Visit”

Actor and Artist
Lili has been taking art classes for a few years now and this is Naomi’s second year taking acting classes. Last Saturday was their Variety Show. Naomi played the part of Ado Annie in Oklahoma and Pumba in Lion King. The show was recorded and I wanted to share it for all our friends andContinue reading “Actor and Artist”
Fun Times
We have now lived in Texas for 16 months. Living in an RV park was a temporary living situation and we knew that. As a result, I didn’t put a tremendous amount of effort into making any friends. Then we moved to our new home. We’ve now been here almost 11 months. I’ve had theContinue reading “Fun Times”
Art Wall
Lili has been taking art classes for about 3 years now. She LOVES art and each year I see improvement in her art skills. She has sat under 3 different art instructors and she seems to be learning the most about technique from her current instructor. The school she attends is a performing arts school.

Rainy Days and Sunday
And now I find myself singing The Carpenters Rainy Days and Mondays. For those of you who have no idea who The Carpenters are, here you go. Years before moving to Texas, we heard much about the drought. Since moving to Texas, we’ve seen more than our fair share of rain. Last weekend was stormsContinue reading “Rainy Days and Sunday”
An Artful Life

Saturdays were spent hanging out with friends and Sundays were set aside for family. I was free to roam around our small community spending many hours with friends. We were rarelyContinue reading “An Artful Life”
News and More News
It has been requested that I blog more often and I really have had the best intentions when it comes to blogging. In this world of social media, blogging has remained my favorite venue for sharing information. It’s become very easy to open FB to see what’s going on, but it’s just not the sameContinue reading “News and More News”
My Day Camper
Lili is off to day camp this week and because I’m such an awesome mom, I didn’t take one photo of her on her first day at camp. That’s right folks!!!! Not one photo of my daughter on her first ever first day of day camp. But not to worry! I managed to take someContinue reading “My Day Camper”
Day Camping
Last weekend we went on our first camping trip in Georgette. This weekend we’ll head out on camping trip number two and next week, Lili will head out on her first week-long day camp trip. I’m a little envious and somewhat nervous about her venturing out on this camping adventure. She is going to ArtContinue reading “Day Camping”
A Round of Applause for Kiwi Crates
For Christmas, we gave each of the girls a monthly subscription to Kiwi Crates. For those who don’t know what Kiwi Crates are, they are kits shipped directly to your child which include everything needed to create multiple craft, science, art and game projects. Each month there are different projects to complete. I wasn’t sure how much Naomi wouldContinue reading “A Round of Applause for Kiwi Crates”
