I’m feeling green today. (Better than blue!) Feeling green because I’m upcycling. Making DIY Clementine Gift Boxes. I start early in the year making and collecting small items to use in birthday and Christmas gift baskets. This past Christmas I ran out of baskets at the eleventh hour. In desperation, I turned to my recycling…
Another World
Folks, it’s bone chillin’ cold here in New England these days. This afternoon, the thermometer read a whopping 23 degrees. Now it’s 14 and dropping. That might not seem wicked cold to you, but it’s a dry cold, if you know what I mean. Ha. (“It’s a dry heat” always gets me.) Another World by allie…
She picked up her pen
Photo Credit: Beth Peront Thanks for tuning in to my Chicken Soup story last Friday. If you missed it, catch the details here: Shut Up and Listen. Then read on (or listen!) below. She Picked Up Her Pen by allie taylor The events of today’s post took place the day after Shut Up and Listen , last February. So honestly, Shut Up…
DIY Monogram Wreath
Let’s make an easy DIY Monogram Wreath today! Depending on where you live, the Christmas wreaths are already put up til’ next Christmas. Funny how in the north we keep Christmas wreaths up longer. I remember having all my Christmas decorations down and put away by January 1st when we lived in the south. Everyone…
Micawber
A squirrel that delights in visiting the Met, aspiring to open his own private art gallery? That would be Micawber. A fun picture book for kids ages 3-99, I gave Micawber to my favorite little artist Charlie, several years ago. Micawber delights on several levels. Illustrator C. F. Payne’s artwork is gorgeous and expressive. Payne’s illustrations…
Shut up and Listen
We all have life defining moments. We don’t know when or where they’ll happen, we just know they do. And usually when we least expect it. If you don’t know, one of my little boys has an extra chromosome. It’s mind boggling that something so microscopic and invisible to the naked eye contributes to such…
Family Thank You Note
“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.” – A.A. Milne We all want to to teach our children genuine gratitude and thankfulness. After Christmas is a great time to let everyone get some practice. In the past, we’ve found that while our kids…
Wax up your wings…
Curiosity killed the cat. (But not me.) It all started with a nosy question. And honestly, I don’t regret asking it, not for a minute. That was four years ago, and I’m a different person today. Wax up your Wings 8:34 10/14 by Allie Taylor I’d met her only minutes before. A flash of yarn…
Virtual Reality
Things are not always as they seem. In cyberspace, it’s called Virtual Reality. For instance, take this blog. I intend to share lovely pictures, recipes, ideas and true stories on Through Her Looking Glass. But what’s going on behind the scenes? (Trust me, a lot! Ha.) What’s it like just beyond the camera lens? Several close…
Misery Loves Company…
(Just call me Tundra Woman.) It was the coldest, snowiest winter in recent memory. The bathroom tiles were icy on my bare feet that morning. Oh how I wished we’d sprung for fixing that wall heater. Seconds later, the naive assumption the toilet lid was up didn’t improve my mood. Misery Loves Company by Allie…
