Paper flower chandeliers, oh yes! There's a paper craft inspiration loop going on with Pajaki (Polish folk art paper chandeliers and a Christmas tradition, translated as "spider of straw"), and I sure don't mind. They're so lovely.

This recent news story about a toddler boy who helped his mom deliver his baby brother completely blows my mind.

I can't even get my 3-year old to sit up to the table for dinner, let alone assist in childbirth!

Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the speedy month of December are right around the corner.

It's true. In less than a week, you're going to be lounging on the couch after Thanksgiving dinner, and some grandma or uncle or cousin is going to say, "Soooo, what's on the kids' wish list this year?"

Ugh, is it really time to think about the holidays, let alone start shopping?

Why, yes, yes it is...
