even though things started opening up in may, we mostly laid low, and did a lot of the same things we have been doing for the entire quarantine. music concerts, baking, sewing, dog snuggling, yard work. you know the drill. but then also a few outings, of varying degrees of excitement. 🙂 firstly. on anna’s […]
cakes
anna’s ballet cake.
during anna’s quest to plan the most perfect birthday of all time, she scoured pinterest for ballet cakes. when she showed them to me and they all had gumpaste ballet slippers standing upright on top, i knew i had to make that happen. even if her party attendees were only family and venue was our […]
e’s daniel tiger birthday.
well. since i’m in coronavirus quarantine, it seems like a good time to catch up my blog for the last two months. in february, one of our new little friends celebrated her second birthday. i met e’s mom at a wild and free homeschool event, discovered she was from western-ish new york, and we became […]
isaac’s stranger things cake.
isaac’s current obsession in life (aside from the old standby, minecraft) is stranger things. the best part about it is that our whole family is actually really into it, so when he requested a stranger things cake, i was pretty excited to make it happen. we scoured pinterest for days, searching for cool ideas, but […]
and then the crazel was six.
after thanksgiving, the next major event in the lidbom calendar is the birthday of one hazel grace lidbom. somehow she’s already six. the crazelnut is still super hilarious, always trying to be the class clown of the family. she’s super smart and now loves to read. she is snuggly, sweet, and generous, and i’m told […]

the crazelnut is five.
well. the baby is five. i’m not sure how it happened. time is flying by. we held an obligatory photo shoot in the camper. and it took a million tries to get good pictures of her, because she can’t resist making silly faces. so, five. the crazelnut is the hilarious, class clown of our family. […]
hazel’s super early birthday party.
while we were “home”, we also managed to squeeze in a little birthday celebration for the crazelnut. her actual birthday is in a week, but we will be all alone on the road, so we had a little family party between our thanksgiving and our extra early family christmas. since i sold all of my […]
a peppa pig themed 2nd birthday party for the crazelnut.
i can’t even believe it. it went by in a flash. last thursday, hazel turned two. she’s currently obsessed with all things peppa pig, so a peppa pig themed party was in order. first, we attempted some chalkboard birthday pics. she loved the balloons. but, overall, was NOT super cooperative. we had to switch out […]
