When Axel entered the house and said, “Now, don’t go getting yourself all worked up, but we have a wee bit of a problem.” Britta’s heart skipped a beat. Nothing ever bothered easy going Axel, so if HE thought there was a problem, no doubt it was serious. Britta just turned and looked at …
When Bug was just a wee lad, he was in love with his frog umbrella. You’d never hear him complain on a rainy day because out came “Froggy” and together the 2 would brave the elements. Bug was also known to tote Froggy on sunny days, too. You just can’t spend enough time with a …

I have a confession to make… I cheat. There, I said it. Oh, not in anything important like a game of Candyland with the wee ones or on my taxes, BUT, I’m always on the lookout for shortcuts. Sometimes, I’ve made some awesome discoveries that I use over and over again, other times I’ve experienced …
For the past several weeks I have been talking about a BIG project we are working on. And when I said BIG, I really meant HUGE! Here’s the back story. We live in a 2 story home with the bedrooms on the 2nd floor. As most of you have heard at one time or another, …
Although your average woodland gnome has a life expectancy of hundreds of years, that’s not always the case for friends that dwell in our gnome house.
