Randi is a stay-at-home mother to two wildly crazy little boys, in love with one hell of a great man, a hobbyist writer and, more or less, glued to her camera. In a world where making mud pies, searching for bugs and racing Matchbox cars have become her forte, her true passion can be found all around her (or attached to her hip) at any given moment - her family.

When you add in the fact that many older siblings want to do, well, “big kid” activities – such as painting, cutting, and gluing – and you could, very well, end up getting yourself into an entire day’s worth of mess making. Now, as much as I enjoy … [Read more...]
So, spring is finally here, eh? Here, on the East coast, the darned groundhog lied and the local weatherman is still calling for more snow. Despite the crazy forecasts, we still have a spring in our step and have gotten our seasonal décor all in place. It’s hard to believe that Easter is only a week away but I know two little boys that are … [Read more...]
Spring break is quickly approaching and, for many of our little ones, that means a break from school. As a mom of two, sitting down with our oldest for learning time is hard to come by. “Learning time” for our big boy often means “find something to get into” time for our little guy.

“Car crashes are the number one killer of children 1 to 12 years old in the United States.” - National Highway Traffic Safety Administration It’s a shocking statistic.
