Okay, I have been a totally summer slacker, spending my days swimming and playing!<br />
So I thought I would do something new on the blog and tell you a little bit about a piece from my shop...<br />
Lets start with the classic peg rack...making a come back in home decorating. Why because we all need help with organization!<br />
<br />
First off paint it...customize it to fit your personal decor. What I love about this one is that it is currently at a natural wood state. So stain it, paint it, spray paint it... love it! You can buy spray paint or small sample size jars of home paint.<br />
<br />
This handy dandy little rack can be put just about anywhere and here a few of my suggestions..<br />
<br />
Closet for purses, ties, hats, scarves<br />
Bathroom for hair and jewelry accessories<br />
Entryway for coats, hats, keys<br />
Craft room for ribbons and fabrics<br />
Kitchen for coffee cups<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't forget its adjustable so you can fit it in any size space!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It is often said that the best things in life a free! I am a firm believer of this. Yesterday, the weather was warm, a hint of spring in the air and so out and about we went.<br />
<br />
We ended up strolling at <a href="http://www.nps.gov/fomr/index.htm" target="_blank">Fort Monroe</a>, now a National Historic site in Hampton, Virginia. Previously a military instillation. The old brick buildings are dreamy, brings you back in the day. It was stunning, the grounds are well kept. A beautiful view from the peninsula to the Chesapeake Bay. A hidden Hampton treasure. You pass thru the town of Phoebus to get here, quaint and small a few restaurants and a couple of antique shops.<br />
<br />
History buff????Fort Monroe played a large part in the American Civil War with visits from Abraham Lincoln, improvised confederate president Jefferson Davis, and a young Robert E. Lee was stationed here. While not always called Fort Monroe its importance in history and location stretches back to the days of John Smith (1610-2011).<br />

<br />
So here we are in February, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day" target="_blank">Valentine's day</a> is just around the corner, along with my husbands birthday. He is a Valentine baby, so we spend the day celebrating him. I can't wait to give my son his little Valentine's and watch him sing Happy Birthday to daddy. It's the little things that count. In the spirit of the day at least share an "I Love You' with someone important in your life...<br />

What to give a toddler for Valentine's Day?? Especially when they have no clue as to what it means or what it is. First off start at your local library they have a wonderful selection of seasonal books. I learned that you have to get there early they tend to check out fast as the holiday approaches. So a few new reads about the holiday. My little one loves Curious George, so he would love this one..on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Happy-Valentines-Day-Curious-George/dp/0547131070/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1360351030&sr=1-2&keywords=valentines+day" target="_blank">amazon</a><br />
<br />
A simple craft of X and O...you have to start somewhere right? What better way to be practicing letters! You can use multiple house hold items to recreate an O...toilet paper roll, circle shape toy...show them that Os are everywhere...go on a search to find them around the house. Use finger paint to stamp them on a paper. For the X you can show how to cross with the edge of cardboard. Practice making lines...more advanced...how about a heart tic tac toe game on a dry erase board? Keep it simple, no need to overwhelm with fancy crafts..go with the flow and enjoy your time spent creating together!<br />

I wanted to share a photo of it on but it's too big. I have to take it in before I can model it.<br />
<br />
The dress came nicely wrapped, with a lovely note, and a freebie! An adorable little purse. Please stop by her shop and check out her dresses...her shop is a little gem!<br />

I'm a new proud member of the Etsy Vintage Society Street Team <a href="http://www.vintageetsysociety.blogspot.com/">http://www.vintageetsysociety.blogspot.com/</a><br />
welcoming me with open friendly arms!<br />
<br />
I just today bought a serger, on a whim....so I can get some sewing in..wait when is their time to sew?<br />
I have a few creative sewing projects, I would like to complete and sell on my shop. <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm in the midst of throwing a two year old birthday party for 40+ family members!Train theme, pictures and post to follow :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Never enough time to read all the books on my wish list.....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
No more Everyday food magazine...beyond disappointment. It comes in the mail as my reminder to make new foods, yea pinterest is great, but once I pin something I have the hardest time finding it again?!I like a hard copy recipe..call me old fashioned!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I feel like I'm starting to get closer to that age old question of "what do you want to be when you grow up" My answer was always an art teacher, and I got pretty darn close to that. Yes, I felt pretty shot down when I was in South Carolina and an advisor said to me.."Don't you want to teach school age children, you know they are doing away with art teachers" what a sad concept. I worked many many years with school age children in before and after school care working on art projects. Learned a lot from those little people and some days miss it. I have my own budding artist now and he gets so proud when I hang his paintings on our wall. Eager to show daddy when he comes home from work our latest mess :) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I truly feel like this is the year...my creative, artistic, fine arts degree background will really show its self...A girl can hope right? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Simple, lovely design, no messy leaves in my cup, I don't have to find somewhere to put my tea. I have no fear of breaking it. Did I mention simple to use? You place it on top of your cup and it releases directly into your cup! Reasonably priced! Amazing and Im so happy with it!<br />

Here are my waffles. <br />
Pretty basic recipe adapted from here...<br />
<a href="http://www.bhg.com/recipe/pancakes-waffles/waffles/">http://www.bhg.com/recipe/pancakes-waffles/waffles/</a><br />
<br />
Waffles:<br />
<br />
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour ( I usually use a combination of whole wheat and regular flour)<br />
1 tablespoons sugar <br />
1 tablespoon baking powder <br />
1/4 teaspoon salt <br />
2 eggs <br />
1 3/4 cups milk <br />
1/4 cup cooking vegetable oil<br />
Dash of vanilla try this...Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract, I only buy this vanilla now<br />
Pinch of fresh grated nutmeg... (World Market has great prices and hard to find spices)<br />
<a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/">http://www.worldmarket.com/</a> online shopping..coupons & store locations<br />
<br />
<br />
In a medium bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside.<br />
<br />
In another medium bowl beat eggs slightly; stir in milk, oil, and vanilla. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be slightly lumpy).<br />
<br />
Pour 1 to 1 1/4 cups batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle baker (use a regular or Belgian waffle baker). Close lid quickly; do not open until done. Bake according to manufacturers directions. When done, use a fork to lift waffle off grid. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm.<br />
<br />
Makes 12 to 16 (4-inch) waffles<br />
<br />
Buttermilk Waffles: Prepare as above, except reduce baking powder to 1 teaspoon and add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Substitute 2 cups buttermilk or sour milk for the milk.<br />
<br />

So we decided to go all out. Got the real Christmas tree, the halls are decked, presents are getting wrapped, Department 56 village is out and the lights are hung! So we decided to take a trip to Smithfield, Virgina in search of the perfect Christmas Ham!<br />
<br />
Off we went today to shop, Main Street, downtown Smithfield...colonized in 1634<br />
<a href="http://www.visitsmithfieldisleofwight.com/">http://www.visitsmithfieldisleofwight.com/</a><br />
<br />
I fell in love instantly. This is it, we may just have to retire here in Virginia and move to Smithfield. Antique shops, restaurants, an inn, a theater, a bakery, a coffee shop, ice cream shop, marina & water front, old cobble streets, gorgeous Victorian homes, 200 acre Castle Park what more do you need?<br />

"Windsor Castle Farm was originally part of a 1450 acre parcel patented in 1637 by Arthur Smith and is situated on a knoll overlooking the Pagan River. The farm was purchased with the intention of preserving the rich historic heritage of the Castle, as well as providing a passive public park on the estate grounds. The park features over <br />
<br />
4 miles of a woodland trail system, orchards, picnic areas, a dog park, a state-of-the-art kayak and canoe launch, fishing pier, scenic overlooks and the Windsor Castle Historic Site. The purchase of 162 acres of farm was made possible through the generous contribution of Mr. Joseph W. Luter, III. Another 46 acres was gifted to the town by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis McMurran."<br />

I hate to hear myself say NO over and over again to my son. I like to focus on what he can do by saying something like this instead "Wait, stop, lets try this" I like to save my stern NO's for when I really need them. <br />
Yes, we have kid friendly ornaments on our tree that we let him play with during decorating. But "don't touch, just look" have become commonly used words when I see him reaching for the tree. He's starting to learn that its okay to touch the ornaments gently but not the lights and not the tree. I have a feeling one day he will turn into a pretty good "NO" negotiator like his father. <br />

I was planning on buying some Disney Cars ornaments, just for him because we are a big fans of MacQueen & Mater around here. I just never got around to doing it. Now the tree is here and the decorating has begun I knew I needed something for him that was just his and his to do what he wanted with. So I stitched these up in a jiffy.</div>

Here is one of my favorite things!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's that time of year, when gift giving may start to feel a little out of control. You second guess yourself and start to think, "Is this enough?" Well it should be, but here is a quick recipe for a simple add on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hit up your local dollar store, and if you are like me dig out last years Christmas cards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Find a frame, doesn't have to be fancy and put the image in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Perfect as a sidekick to that bottle of wine, that tin of cookies, a homemade yummy or any handmade gift for that matter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Teacher, neighbor, someone you oops forgot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was given this image in a frame last year as a gift from a sweet neighbor my husband has known his whole life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now its priceless...I love it, I adore it.. the image and the thoughtfulness! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It's a tradition for our families to drive out to random parts of New York and Vermont to get fresh maple syrup and visit the sugar houses. <br />
I wonder if they've ever been here...<br />
I just find this can fascinating! This sweet little log cabin tin comes with a lot of history. Read the story of this third generation family run Maple Syrup producers...started in the 1930's and still at it!<br />

Tin can reads on the bottom<br />
"The Indians called it "SINZIBUKWUD" The Indians taught the first white settlers how to tap maple trees in the spring, then evaporate the sweet sap until it became maple syrup. In Ben Franklin's time, plans were afoot to make America self-sufficient in sugar production, using maple sugar."<br />
<br />
It kinda seems dreamy to own your own land and produce maple syrup..another dream job of mine!<br />

Being someones mom is a huge responsibility. Aside from the the necessities of food, shelter, and clothing we strive for our children to be responsible, disciplined and respectful. One day becoming amazing law abiding, productive adults. HOW does this happen? I am a SAHM of an almost two year old little boy. He is an only child so I try to keep him active in programs where he can socialize with other two year olds. We attend a weekly toddler play gym class. Offered by our local YMCA perhaps you have one near you too? <a href="http://www.peninsulaymca.org/">http://www.peninsulaymca.org/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I loved it until today....<br />
<br />
Here is the run down of our class this morning. 40 minute play class and all was going well until boredom struck 30 minutes into it. How does a little boy get bored playing in a gym. After doing the circuit of challenges a handful of times, he's like okay now what? Well the instructor is not amazing, it's like a free for all, no structure, and my son just lost interest. Some group interaction, an attempt at some form of structure play would be nice. So I looked around in envy as the other mom's watched their little ones engaged in the activity. <br />
<br />
When out of nowhere my son runs from across the gym, puts two hands on the little boys back and pushes him down to the ground. OK, parent. I got down to his level, and said "no, no pushing, that's not okay, you hurt him see, you can't push, say your sorry" I apologized quickly, we got our things and I cowed right out of their embarrassed and mortified. That poor child and parent, hurt and upset and all I could offer was an "I'm so sorry." Just doesn't seem like enough. NOW did any of these words actually register with my son, did he understand me? He let out a small sympathy cry and I whisked him away. Maybe my expectations are just too high at this point. I have been told that this is common of two year olds, but when does it end, and when is the lessen learned? <br />
<br />
Now this..a little confidence booster...true story..just happened. I was walking my husband out to his car when I heard a little voice calling mommy and banging. After a quick scan of the neighborhood I spotted the little bugger two houses down across the street. A two year old, little boy, banging on the glass storm door for mommy. OK I walked over and rang the doorbell. Mom turns the corner with a smile on her face "OMG I always keep that locked, I was in the bathroom." OK stop right here, if that was my son he would be half way to Canada by now because he wouldn't have stopped to look for me. I would be a in a crazy panic. I hope that she would have come around and seen him standing there soon enough, but you never know. I hope mom and son learned a lesson today. I hope my son and I learned a lesson today. Two year olds cannot be without one eye on them at all times. They create plenty of challenges for us, everyday obstacles we somehow overcome. <br />
Needless to say their are so many different kinds of kids and different kinds of parents that in the end we all seem to make it work. If you have any helpful advice on how to curb this pushing thing please, I'm all ears!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00474523518078741617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000915585661625620.post-14995656091359323792012-11-25T09:50:00.002-08:002012-11-25T09:51:23.566-08:00Snacks for an almost two year oldMy son has learned to open the fridge and we are embracing it. Maybe he's hungry, and wants a snack, maybe he wants to feel in control of something. So while we prepare our food he gets a choice of a snack or two. We have in bowls pre washed and cut fresh fruit and vegetables. Of course I monitor him and keep an eye out on what hes doing in there. I certainly don't leave him unattended anytime in my kitchen. I have way too many precious Pyrex dishes tucked behind unlocked cabinet doors. <br />
So here's a glimpse at his healthy snack line up....<br />

A quaint southern town, with a large equestrian community. Rich in history, Aiken was built as an equestrian warm winter hide out for northerners in the early 20th century. We've enjoyed traditional horse shows, polo matches, (YES, you get to stomp in the divots like you're Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman) and strolls thru the beautiful Hopelands Gardens. check it out...<a href="http://www.cityofaikensc.gov/index.php/residents/sports-recreation/parks-gardens-and-natural-areas/hopelands-gardens/">http://www.cityofaikensc.gov/index.php/residents/sports-recreation/parks-gardens-and-natural-areas/hopelands-gardens/</a><br />

Polo in Aiken, an 1800's pastime..learn more here...<a href="http://www.302polo.com/about.htm">http://www.302polo.com/about.htm</a><br />
<br />
My sister in law owns her own business as an equine therapist (check her out here...<a href="http://www.resultsequinetherapy.com/">http://www.resultsequinetherapy.com</a>) she does amazing work. <br />
<br />
Aiken really is the Saratoga of the south and always a lovely place to visit! <br />
<br />
So on this Black Friday I found myself in exactly the kind of place I like to shop. At the Aiken Antique Mall, filled with so many unique equestrian antiques! I fell in love with these chairs, no they wouldn't fit in my car, so they're they sit..if you are ever in Aiken don't skip treasure hunting!!<br />

I have my husband home and safe, and thats all I need. Its true love is really all you need. <br />
<br />
Here are some highlights of our thanksgiving feast! <br />
Our menu:<br />
Peters homemade onion tart<br />
Cornbread stuffing<br />
Homemade cranberries <br />
Mashed potato <br />
Broccoli gratin<br />
And of course turkey and gravy<br />
<br />
Travel with an almost two year old is never easy. Their attention span is so short and you can't possibly bring a ton of toys with you. We made a small survival kit for when we just needed something new to entertain. Especially when you are visiting someone who doesn't have kids. <br />
<br />
Ideas....from our kit....<br />
Dixie party cups for stacking, knocking over cars or bowling, or hide a toy underneath.<br />
Balloons...gets the adults involved too floating it around the room<br />
A small craft, making a turkey with our handprints!<br />
A decoration (something they can touch) thanksgiving banner<br />
I mixed a small bag of homemade play dough to go (1 cup flour, 1/4 cup salt, 2 tablespoons cream of tarter, koolaide pack) Then all you need to ask of your host is a cup of water, a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix it all together in a pot and stir until a ball forms, about 3 minutes) kneed and cool. <br />
An old school viewfinder, my husband had as a kid, he loves looking at the old sesame street slides. <br />
A pack of Disney cars card game from the dollar store, my son isn't old enough to play cards but he recognizes the pictures and we can work on matching images<br />
A light stick to explore<br />
A few dollar store finds...flashcards (sesame street first words) a pencil and a pad of paper<br />
A stack of new books checked out from the library. <br />
If all else fails, try PBS lol!<br />
<br />
We visited where my sister in law boards her horse. A lovely walk around the barn. We collected a bunch of natural treasures to centerpiece the table...<br />
Here they are<br />
A horse shoe<br />
Leaves<br />
Twigs<br />
Acorns<br />
Pine cones<br />
Tall grasses<br />
Fresh hay<br />
<br />
Simple things...collecting natural treasures remind us to appreciate the simple pleasures in life <br />
