Alistair’s 5!!

This past sunday I headed over to Charlestown for my little monkey’s 5th (!!) birthday party. I was Isabel and Alistair’s nanny on that lovely October day 5 years ago and was there the morning Alistair came home from the hospital… a teeny, tiny bundle of joy. I can’t believe how time has flown. Both Isabel and Alistair are the sweetest siblings I know. They are just the best of friends and the happiest little people alive. My love for them is too big for words.

Happy Birthday, Monkey!

Little People: Good Times, Great Oldies

Finding this this picture of this house just brought me back to some of the happiest times of my childhood. My most favorite thing to do between the ages of 5-10 was play with my Fisher Price Little People.

Oh, nostalgia, how I love you so!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥


These Little People were better than any other toy out there. Better than Barbies, better than Popples (although I did LOVE my Popple), better than Easy Bake Oven.

And so, of course, I have spent approximately the past 45 minutes, searching the google images for all pictures of my beloved Little People and the parts to their little town. Below are the images I found that make me giddy with joy.

The school bus… hey little students!


The barn…. LOVED the rooster’s perch.


Parking garage!


And obviously, my favorite, the school. Because I always wanted to be a teacher.

This just made my week. I don’t know if you played with Little People or not, but if you did hopefully it will make yours too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGSIE!!!!!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister!

The best and most terrific person in the world!!!

LOVE YOU MEGS.

Forever and always and ever and ever.

XOXO.

school picture day

Today is school picture day for my little first graders.

I can’t wait to see them all dressed in their finest.

Here’s me circa 1990:


Gotta love the polka dotted smock dress. And don’t forget the Peter Pan Collar!
