imom: Will Patch for Cake

That's just one of the fun and great designs by Jessica Butler, founder of Eye Power Kid's Wear. She's another imom just trying to do the best for her little boy who, like Ruby, was also born with a pediatric cataract. 

She's got a kickstarter campaign for her t-shirt designs that are aimed at kids in glasses and patches. The fun designs and tongue-in-cheek sayings pretty much sum up things when our kids are out and about and people say things about patches and glasses. (Editor's note: Ruby doesn't wear glasses with her contact and patch but she will sometime I'm guessing within the year.)

I'm partial to the shirt with a super hero cape. Frankly, the world needs more shirts with super hero capes.

Especially for imoms. (Editor's note: that was totally and completely biased.)

Ruby will be sporting one of these Will Patch for Cake shirts soon. Because, really, what wouldn't you do for a yummy cupcake?

Little Free Library

Have you heard of them?

Little Free Libraries are popping up around neighborhoods all over the world. They are just that, little free libraries that people set up in their yards with the purpose of sharing the love of reading.

On a recent morning walk, Ruby and I discovered one in our neighborhood.

We peeked in and low & behold, we found a little board book by one of our favorite authors. 

Ruby was thrilled! 

Now we just need to head back to this little free library and return one of our books to pass along for someone else.

P.S. Aren't these Little Free Libraries so cute? I kind of want to build one in my front yard! Don't you?

Happy Mother's Day!

Here's hoping your Mother's Day was filled with flowers & homemade cards.

 And a few adventures in parks with lots of smiles & giggles!

Ruby's painting

My grandmother Doris was an artist. She was a great artist, a fabulous painter. 

I'm lucking to have a few of her paintings that I treasure. Some are on the walls. Others are waiting to have new frames put on them. Others are waiting for me to find the perfect wall space.

My Aunt Julie, Doris' daughter is also an artist. She inherited her mom's wonderful artistic ability. And I'm also lucky enough to have a painting or two.

And now, so does Ruby.

She gave Ruby this sweet little bunny as part one of the gift during a visit last summer.

Then recently, part two of the gift arrived.

It's perfect! And it fits in beautifully with Ruby's room!

She loves it too! She likes to sit in her chair and turn around and point to her painting. She also loves her sweet little bunny! Thanks Aunt Julie!
