Beautiful Ballerinas!

Mama Holli was a dancer 
many moons ago.

Now Mama Holli gets to watch 
her baby girls dance!
I was not even half the dancer 
my girls are today!

It is a joy beyond words to witness!

Dancing is an art!

It is such a beautiful

way to express ones self.

It is where music and spirit meet.

It is where a soul unites with a sound.

It is beautiful!

R Is For Rabbit

Snow is still on the ground

 but I am bringing out the

 Easter Bunnies!

R Is For Rabbit!

My favorite decorations 

are the ones my kids made

 with their tiny little hands

long long ago!

This one was made 12 years ago!

He is missing an ear 

which makes him 

all the more cuter!

Look at the red marker scribble

 where she tried to write an R 

with her chubby little fingers!

This guy looks like a cross

 between a rabid dog 

and

 an angry rabbit!

Still very cute!

Their tails are still intact!

Well kind of!

Here is a perky little rabbit!

It reads....I am some-bunny!

This little guy is about 

10 years old!

He has a back side too!

Lots of glitter!

Important!

Here is your more modern

and 

hip

bunny set!

She is checking 

him out for sure!

So hop on over to the craft box and let your babies get to work!

They will create keepsakes for a lifetime!

Makes A Mama Proud!

Spring Is Coming?

Although Spring is NOT

just around the corner yet for the folks of

Colorado

Mama Holli's Backyard

 It might be SPRINGY where you live!

Let's say for instance

CALIFORNIA!

Both equally beautiful but one is WARMER than the other!

So a Mama can DREAM

And

DREAMING

SHE WILL DO!

Let's talk Farmer's Markets

So if you are a Mama who is lucky enough to have

a warm patio to soak in some good old Vitamin D,

then you best take advantage of it!
