Fun Monday Give Away

As the boys and I prepare for the cool weather, we are baking up a storm in the Bodwell abode! We've made apple pies, apple streudel, homemade pizza, bread and even BUTTER.

Nothing makes me happier than to work side by side with them, arm deep in flour all the while chatting and discussing how best to roll out the dough whether I'll ever master the pizza dough toss.

One of the best outcome of this "Great Recession" is that it has made us cook more at home. Every night is Family Dinner Night to the degree that I can't remember when we last ordered in or ate out. Funny thing is, I don't even miss it. (Sorry restaurateurs!)

So for all you bakers (and baker wannabe's), this is the time of year to roll up our sleeves, get out the flour, sugar and start baking. And to keep the kids clean and tidy, we are giving away one of our exclusive Warm Biscuit aprons of your choice.

Excited to announce that Cindi won last weeks Halloween give-away!

First Day of School Pictures

Here is Henry(right), Wesley(left), and a friend (center) on their first day of school from a few weeks ago. Notice Wesley's outfit--it makes me crack up! He picked out this outfit, from the hat to the socks. I think he looks rather sharp, if not a little goofy.And here they are all three together--from left to right: Fischer, Henry, Wesley.

Monday Giveaway

Hope you all had a good weekend! We went apple picking this weekend, and it was tons of fun. I ended up making THREE apple pies, which I never do. But you know, it really wasn't too hard. And it was a fun activity for the kids--I might have been on my own for the crusts, but they peeled all the apples!

Congratulations to Rachel for winning the giveaway.

Etsy Inspiration - Apple a Day!

With back to school in full swing -- just went to Staples, and it was crazy...like a mall at Christmas -- and so school and the imagery that goes along with it has been on my mind lately. So I figured for my next Etsy search I would check out apple themed items. Here's what I found:

What a smart idea! I have long given up packing apples in my lunch because they always would get bruised and brown. But this apple cosy keeps apples fresh and crisp. And so pretty too!

How cute are these little apple shoes? I would have loved these as a little girl. I've always found Mary Janes to be some of the most comfortable shoes around, and I love the touch of the apple applique. This etsy story has tons of other cute shoes for kids.

How cool and funky are these apple core beads? They are so realistic, I'm impressed. Each one is a little bit different too, since they are made by hand.

Monday Giveaway

Okay, sorry this is sooo late! But what with the holiday on Monday I got a little thrown off my normal schedule. And then today was the first day of school for my kids--and for my oldest it was his first day of middle school. So exciting! And also a little unnerving...I am SO not ready for him to turn into a "too cool for you" teenager.

Congratulations to the MacFadden family for winning The Three Bears book. Hope it provides hours of fun story time!

This week we will be giving away an aqua magnetic board. Little girls love a place to hang her favorite school pictures, delightful doodles, or that A+ report card. This scalloped, magnetic aqua-enamel note board gives her just the right place to do it, without sacrificing form for function. 18.5" square. You can either screw it into a wall, or set it in a metal stand.

Here is how to win:

1. Leave a comment about your favorite keepsake.
2. Mention how you found this site
3. Check out the Warm Biscuit Bedding Co. to see what other kids room decor they carry.
