What are Little Girls (and Boys) are Made of?

What are little boys made of made of?

What are little boys made of?

Snips & snails & puppy dogs tails

That's what little boys made of.

What are little girls made of?

What are little girls made of?

Sugar and spice

And everything nice,

That's what little girls are made of.

Apparently the writer didn't have daughters...lately, Emme has been made of snot and sass...but mostly snot. (Sorry to those of you who don't consider snot, slobber, etc to be part of your daily beauty regimen.)

As for boys, Max   freaks out when he sees anything that resembles a bug...though he does have a fascination with puppy dog tails (that's why our beloved pug is currently residing with Grandpa).

What do you think... 

...are your sons and daughters (or grandsons or nieces, etc) sugar and spice with a little bit of puppy dog tail mixed in?

Hope you're having a lovely week...

I'm sharing at these parties:

the shabby creek cottage, The Charm of Home,The Shabby Nest, Redoux, French Country Cottage, I Can't Stop Crafting, Lolly Jane Boutique, Be Different, Act Normal,{nifty thrifty things}

If you're looking for another way to put off laundry, unloading the dishwasher, feeding your children...you could always spend "a couple minutes" checking out what I do to avoid all of those things...

Sneak Peak - Farm Table

After nearly 5 years and 2 kids, I thought I knew my husband, Mr. Whimsy B, pretty well...I knew he was handy, but I never realized how creative and talented he was until I brought home an old door from a barn sale a couple weeks ago.  B took one look at it and declared that it would be the perfect table top, which hadn't even crossed my mind.

He described how he was going to build the base, and I nodded along and trusted that he would figure it out...but I didn't expect to be totally wowed by the outcome.  Maybe we need to trade professions? 

I still need to clean it up and give it several coats of poly so no one ends up with lead poisoning from eating paint flakes.

Love this...

Have I left you wanting more? 

That was my plan...bwah, hah, hah!! (that's supposed to sound evil, do I sound evil in your head?)

Okay....one more.  Since I love you all so much...

The base is made from reclaimed barn wood that B "reclaimed" from a heap of collapsed barn during the middle of a torrential rainstorm....(extra points if you spot the toddler).

Here's the finished product...

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!!

take care -
