Spring "camping"

The kids and their friends next door had been busily working to complete this "tent" for their spring backyard camping experience. Hand crafted from: old sheets and towels, duct tape and plastic chairs! We did end up actually putting up a real tent (thanks to my husband), cooking hot dogs and s'mores on the grill and having the neighbors over for a few hours on Saturday night. Lots of laughing, dancing in the tent and ghost stories for all! Happy first day of spring!

Out of Hibernation

Instead of suiting up and showing up at the gym for my spinning class this morning, I decided to get my dog and myself out of doors! Cooper was so excited that he was whimpering and crying on our drive to the park. He's in the big landscape and is the dog walking on a thin layer of ice and snow on the beach.

The other is a new photo for my Etsy shop. It felt so good to get out and get some vitamin D the old-fashioned way. Is it Spring where you are? Time to get out of hibernation and wake up?

bunnies!

This is my latest custom "child's name" block photo. It's for a baby-to-be by the cute name of "Brooklyn". The mom didn't think I had any rabbits available for the photo since there are none currently in my shop, but I'm glad she asked because I have three! My son recently got a little Schleich rabbit hutch and two extra bunnies for his birthday. I thought that using all three of them in the photo gave the sense of a new family, with a mom, dad and a baby.

Bunnies are also so "Spring-y"! Welcome, Spring and welcome to the world, Brooklyn!
