I’m always trying to find new ways to amuse The Punk. Mostly because if the day is not chock full of fun activities Beastly shows up and there’s hell to pay. I came up with this because I really wanted to look through the stack of fashion magazines that just came in the mail.
We picked out a photo from a magazine and traced the figure. I used scrap paper but tracing paper would obviously work best. I then cut out her clothing and accessories.


The Punk had a good old time dressing up her paper doll and it ended up looking like this. Notice that the clothing and accessories are glued on the figure so perfectly. Dare I say genius? Or maybe just Type A? I don’t know where she gets it.


The Punk decided that my people weren’t up to snuff so she drew her own. She picked out a Chanel outfit to put on her doll. Sniff. She makes her Mama proud.

Meatless Monday: Nut-Free Pesto Pizza

August 23, 2010

It’s a good time to have chickens in my backyard. And when I say ‘my backyard,’ I actually mean my neighbor’s yard. Owing to the fact that Ol’ William is rather possessive of his pristine, park-like monster of a yard also known as his Ode to Grass, the neighbor and I decided to share ownership [...]

You know you’re a mom when: 1- You are met with a round of applause when you break out a picnic blanket. 2- Relaxing with your kids on said blanket whilst enjoying the beautiful summer day is part of your job description. 3- You have a perfectly good excuse for napping outdoors in middle of [...]

Book Review: Get Real by Mara Rockliff

August 15, 2010

I enlisted the help of MBIMW, a.k.a. The Boy, for this. Since the book is geared toward ages 12 and up, I figured he would be up for it. He’s only nine years old, but he’s clearly a genius. He’s also the cutest boy ever, and is destined to be our first Asian-American president. If [...]

BPA in Receipts

August 12, 2010

Whenever I visit my sister, we inevitably cackle until our sides hurt, eat until we feel like throwing up or shop until one or all of the kids start to throw a fit. My brother-in-law knows this. I think the minister might have thrown in ‘surrender your wife to her sister for laughing fits, eating [...]
