Remember my post on how Brenda and I painted flower t-shirts using freezer-paper stencils for party favors for Annalie’s 5th birthday? That post is being featured today in the InsideBayArea’s Kids Crafts Column, aPARENTly Speaking!

Brenda got to go to Lilith Fair recently to review the concert and the fancy-schmancy bathrooms. Yes, really! It’s amazing what kinds of opportunities blogging can bring a person…and her readers, because she has a $100 Visa gift card to give away! I can’t win it myself, since I’m Brenda’s friend and unofficial blog editor, but if you’d like a chance to win, just go read her excellent review and leave a comment!

As you will probably be able to tell if you have looked at my Flickr lately, we’ve been keeping busy. And now, as you might infer from that photo of Annalie and Aurora above, we’re in Omaha for a visit and we’re still busy. I’m hoping I’ll have time to blog about some of the fun stuff keeping us busy very soon.
