May 13, 2013 by dailygnome 1 Comment

My sweet tokens of affection for Mother’s Day. I felt very special and well celebrated.

Carson created this mixed media piece at school using watercolors, pencil and ink pad {his fingerprints!}. Promptly framed and hung.

Dance Party Birthday Party at Sound Roots School of Music

July 24, 2012 by dailygnome 2 Comments

With Hadley’s love for music and dance we rang in her 4th year Dance Party Style at Sound Roots School of Music. We felt very fortunate to have the super fun and talented Mo Phillips in the house as host.

The Invite:
Mo is amazing with kids and after singing a few tunes requested by the Birthday Girl {including You Are My Sunshine} and allowing the kids to rock out with their instruments of choice, he worked with the guests to write their own song.

Entertainment Included a Round of Musical Cushions:

Lollipop Kids:
Favor Bags:
Happy Birthday Sweet Girl. Here’s to a Rockin’ 4th Year! xoxo

First Haircut

February 23, 2011 by dailygnome 3 Comments

Her older brother told her all about the special treatment she’d receive: you get to watch a movie, eat popcorn and at the end they give you a lollipop!

She skipped the popcorn and barely took notice of the TV. Her experience was all about the zebra print gown, swivel chair and warm blow dryer. And before she savored her own lollipop, she asked for one to take home to her brother.
