Last night we played a lovely game of musical beds. You know, the dance where you, your spouse & your children all rotate beds during the night? At around 1a Sam came into our room, I don’t remember what she was crying about but I do recall being so tired that I made the foolish […]
chevron nails tutorial (using pony stickers!)
Chevron print is so hot right now & so is having an ‘accent nail’ in your mani. I knew I wanted to somehow marry the two but wasn’t sure how…& then it hit me, pinking shears & the edge of a sticker page! If you aren’t familiar pinking shears are scissors that cut in a […]
Sleeping Beauty Birthday Party::Sam’s Royal Beauty Parlor
My little princess turned 4 this past weekend & I just can’t believe it. When we asked her what kind of party she wanted no one died of shock when she said a ‘Princess Party’. I was impressed however with her idea to have a girl’s only beauty parlor party. Different & pretty easy to […]

All Growns Up
Sorting through outgrown baby clothes has to be one of the worse tasks on Earth. I honestly let the pile of too tiny clothes grow & grow until it gets to the point of truly intrusive. Then I spend a few hours going through both girls closets, sorting & bagging. This was my task this […]
The Bunny Ranch- Part 2
If you check out my FB, Twitter or Instagram (my name is Samstermommy) then you already know my secret selfish wish came true. Mama bunny did not come back & I had a legitimate reason to buy that teeny tiny kitten bottle I always see at Petsmart. (you can read the original bunny story here) […]
