Sick kids, preparations for tonight’s Relief Society Christmas party, and a new obsession for a certain novel series (that everyone and their mom is into) have estranged me from the blogging world — my own blog included.

But I have a guest post today at my friend Amy’s blog, Living Locurto. My post won’t be so new to you, but make sure to check out the rest of her blog, especially her great roundup of free downloads. Amy is a graphic-designing, stay-at-home mother, but on top of that, she gives back to her community in a really huge way. She is incredible and such an inspiration. Thanks for having me over, Amy!

From here on out, it’s birthdays galore! It’s funny how all the children in our group of friends were born within weeks of each other.

Today, we went to a princess party for Dylann. Miyo did a spec-tacular job.

And, get this;

Miyo sewed costumes for all the kids. That’s right. She hand-made little knight outfits and uber-girly tutus. Love it.
