Disclaimer: This post is “aimed” at the unsupportive and in some cases intolerant husbands of the world, NOT at the ones that are busy behind the scenes or are being “locked out” by their blogging wives When Valerie started “Glittering Muffins”, I also wanted to help her, with the setup and then also with some content, I’ve been taking photos all along from even before Nico was born.

We got the shapes at the dollar store and I always grab little wood things for him to paint, he loves that. I grabbed those door hangers, thinking for later when he can read and use it properly.

Of course the cars had … Read entire article »

Australie – Tortue à boutons
Ce mois-ci “Around the World in 12 Dishes” s’en va en Australie! Point de vue bouffe, tout était beau mais sur le côté bricolage, je n’avais aucune inspiration, alors j’ai demandé l’aide d’un groupe de mamans blogeuses dont je fais parti et elles m’ont donné une TONNE d’idées. Une qui m’est resté en tête est la peinture pointillée aborigène, parce que Nico adore la peinture, mais je voulais le faire différemment, alors je me suis … Read entire article »
